CHANGING TIRE
It is desirable that you carry a jack that will work on your trailer in
the event that you have a flat tire. A small board or block can also
be very beneficial in the event you are jacking on soft dirt or hot
asphalt. The jack, depending on the style, may be placed under
the side frame in back of the wheel or also under the axle. When
placing the jack under the axle, the following precautions should
be taken:
The jack must be placed under the axle as close to the •
spring as possible.
If your trailer is equipped with a channel axle, a 2 x 4 x 8” wood •
block must be placed between the jack and the axle positioned so
that the wood block contacts both vertical legs of the axle channel.
Any other jacking procedures may cause damage to the axle •
and void warranty.
EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR
Each axle that ShoreLand’r ® manufactures has been preset when
welded for proper caster and camber. If you are experiencing ex-
cessive tire wear, it is possible that your axle has been knocked
out of alignment by hitting a curb or large pothole. The caster and
camber can be checked out and may be corrected by a mechanic
with wheel aligning equipment.
