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.
Disc Brake Axle
TWO AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
Note that the right brake caliper has a brass block attached to it that
has two ports. Remove the bottom plug on the right caliper and the
single plug on the left caliper. Locate the 98” brake hose supplied in
the kit. Attach the brake hose to the brass blocks on both the right
and left caliper where the plugs were just removed. Tighten. Locate
four of the round brake hose clips and place them around the brake
hose spacing them so they are in alignment with the four pilot holes
drilled into the top of the axle. Attach the round brake hose clips to
the axle by threading the self-tapping screws provided into the pre-
drilled pilot holes. Tighten. Repeat on the second axle.
Remove the remaining brass plug from each of the brass blocks
located on the right calipers. Note that the side frame hose can be
routed to either the front or rear axle in a double axle installation.
Determine which axle the side frame brake hose will be routed to.
Once determined remove the short brake hose from the brake kit
supplied. Thread the male end of this hose into the port of the brass
block on the axle to which the side frame hose is going to be routed
to. Place the other end of this hose up through the small hole
provided in the brake line clip bracket. Secure in place with the U-
shaped hose clip provided.
Locate the brass brake hose tee. Thread the male port of the tee
into the top of the brake hose just installed. Tighten. Rotate until the
side port of the tee is pointing towards the second axle to be con-
nected into the brake system.
Locate the 40” brake hose. Route the hose down through the large
hole in the brake hose clip bracket for the second axle and then
down to the caliper. Thread the end of the hose into the brass block
where the brass plug was removed earlier. Tighten.
Route the other end of the hose over to the brass tee just installed
in the hose on the first axle and thread this end of the hose into the
side port of the tee. Attach the hose to the side frame of the trailer
using two of the round brake hose clips and self-tapping screws.
Pull the frame brake line hose out of the side frame enough so it
can be routed down to the top port in the brass tee. Thread the end
of the brake hose into the tee. Push the excess hose back into the
side frame. Attach the hose to the side frame of the trailer using
either one or two of the round brake hose clips and self-tapping
screws.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed the brake sys-
tem per the bleeding instructions in one of the following: UFP Brake
Bleeding Manual or the ShoreLand’r Disc Brake Manual. Once
bled, refill the reservoir and replace the reservoir cap.
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.
