Remove all small parts from the frame by cutting the bands.
Remove the bolt bag and sort all nuts and bolts by size.
Tongue:
Remove tongue assembly from the frame bundle. Insert into
the tongue channel and slide into the front crossmember of
the frame. Secure with two (2) 3/8” X 4” carriage bolts and
3/8” flange lock nuts. Tighten.
Thread the tongue wire harness through the front top hole in
the tongue and pull out the hole provided in the left side of
the tongue towards the rear. Connect to the frame harness
with the plugs provided. Install grommets.
Safety Chains:
Insert a 3/8” X 1-1/4” hex bolt into a 3/8” flat washer, safety
chain and then through the lower hole on the front of the
tongue. Place on a 3/8” flat washer on the inside of the tongue
and secure with 3/8” flange lock nut.
Repeat procedure on opposite side of the tongue. Tighten.
Coupler:
Mount the coupler onto the tongue with a 1/2” x 4” hex bolt
through the rear mounting holes of the coupler. Using two (2)
1/2” X 1” hex bolts attach the coupler to the tongue using the
front mounting holes. Secure with flange lock nuts. Tighten.
Axle:
Attach the spring bushing (Ref.#49) in the rear spring shack-
les with 1/2” X 3-1/4” hex bolts and 1/2” flange lock nuts.
Position the axle under the trailer with spring eye to the front
of the trailer. Slip the flat end of the spring in the rear spring
shackle above the bushing just installed. Secure the front
spring eye to the front spring shackle with 9/16” X 3-1/4” hex
bolts and 9/16” hex lock nuts. Tighten.
Mount the tire and rim assemblies to the axle
assembly with 1/2” lug nuts and tighten to 80-90 ft./lbs. of
torque using the rotation pattern as shown in the ShoreLand’r
Owners Manual. Retorque the lug nuts after 50 miles of
driving and then periodically thereafter.
Ramps:
Locate the loading ramp. Note that one end has two holes
punched in the bottom of the channel. (See parts drawing)
Insert a 3/8” X 1-1/2” full threaded carriage bolt (Ref.#16)
into one of these holes. Secure in this position using a 3/8”
flange lock nut. Tighten. Place a second 3/8” flange lock nut
onto the same bolt only until the threads of the bolt are
exposed through the nut locking it in place. Repeat the above
process on the second bolt.
Note that the second nut installed on the bolt is used when
loading and unloading your bikes. The ramp is attached to
the bike channels by dropping the two (2) bolts and nuts
through the key hole slots provided in the rear of the bike
channels. The nuts becomes locked in the slot when the ramp
is moved either forward or backward. This will keep the ramp
from becoming unhooked or rotating sideways when
loading your bikes.
Secure the ramp under the trailer frame in the mounting
brackets using the safety pin and 3/16” lynch pin
provided.
Bike Support Channel:
Mount the middle bike support channel to the tongue using a
3/8” X 3-7/16” X 4-1/8” square u-bolt, mounting strap and
secure with two (2) 3/8” flange lock nuts. Secure the rear of
the middle bike support channel to the rear cross channel on
the frame using a 3/8” x 1” hex bolt, 3/8” flat washer and 3/8”
flange lock nut.
Mount the two (2) outside bike support channels to the frame
in the designated area on the frame using 3/8” hex bolts, 3/8”
flat washers and 3/8” flange lock nuts.
Refer to parts drawing for placement.
