SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the trailer. Place the
springs on the topside of the spring pads welded to the axle. (See
Diagram D). Note that the hook end of the spring must be mounted
to the rear of the trailer. Place a spring clamp on the top center of
the spring as shown. Next place the ½” x 6 ½” U-bolts down over
the top of the spring clamp, spring and axle as shown.
Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of the two U-
bolts just placed. Thread ½” lock nuts onto the U-bolts but do not
tighten securely until the complete unit is in position on the trailer.
Repeat on the other spring.
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 hook loop of the
spring around the bushings just installed. Note that if the axle is
positioned too low when trying to hook, the hooks 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 ¼” hex bolts and
lock nuts.
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
NOTE: The axle has brake fluid installed in the clusters and the
axle line when it is assembled at the factory. This is done to protect
the inner parts of the brake system during shipping and storage.
The complete brake system including the axle MUST be re-bled to
ensure that all air has been removed from the brake system.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed the line per the
bleeding instructions in one of the following; UFP Brake Bleeding
Manual or the ShoreLand’r Disc Brake Manual. Refill the reser-
voir and replace the reservoir cap.
TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the ½” fine threaded
tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-95 ft/lb. of torque using the
rotation pattern as shown in the ShoreLandr’s Owners Manual.
Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles of driving and then periodi-
cally thereafter.
