SPRINGS
See Diagram D.
Position the axle under the frame so it is properly orientated. All
2” x 2” pontoon axles have holes drilled for mounting brake lines.
These attaching holes must be positioned to the rear of the trailer.
(If a brake axle is being installed, make sure axle is oriented so the
brake backup plates are on the right sides of the trailer. (Right on
right and left of left.)
Place the springs under the axle as shown so the closed eye of the
spring is to the front of the trailer. Drop two ½´x 2 9/16´x 5” square
U-bolts down around the axle and on each side of the spring as
shown.
Align the legs of the U-bolt with the holes in a spring pad and then
insert so the spring pad is up against the spring. Secure with ½”
flange lock nuts. Tighten to keep all items in position but do not se-
curely tighten until the axle assembly is completely installed under
the frame.
AXLE
Place one of the spring bracket bushings into the rear of the spring
bracket and secure with a 9/16” x 3 1/4” hex bolt and hex lock nut.
Repeat in other spring bracket. Position the axle under the frame,
then hook the loop end of the spring around the bushings just in-
stalled. Note that if the axle is positioned too low when trying to
hook, the loops will not hook around the bushings.
Raise the front of the springs up so they align with the front hole
of the spring bracket. Secure in place with 9/16” X 3-1/4” hex bolts
and lock nuts. Repeat this process on the other spring.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.
ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle. Place the
other end of the hose up through the hole provided in the brake line
clip bracket. Secure in place with the U-shaped hose clip provided.
Remove the brass plug from the end of the hose.
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line com-
ing out of the side frame by the axle. Carefully uncoil the brake line
so that it will reach the end of the hose just attached to the brake
line bracket. Thread the brake line fitting into the brake line hose.
Tighten.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN
