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.
Note that the brake lines are not installed in or on these axles dur-
ing assembly because of possible damage during shipping. The
side frame brake line is factory installed on all brake models.
• Remove all contents from the brake kit box and sort by size.
Locate and straighten the long brake line tubing.
• Begin forming the end of the long brake line tubing so it can be
inserted into the fitting on the left brake cluster. Carefully form
the tubing so once inserted into the fitting that it will run parallel
to the centerline of the axle and the back of the axle.
• Now place a clip over the line and insert a screw to hold in place
while attaching the one side of the tee to the long brake line tube
and tighten so it will lay flat against the axle tube with one open-
ing toward the top of the axle.
• Taking the 12” line begin forming this to fit into the fitting on the
right brake cluster, the line should be formed so that it will fit into
the other side of the tee attached to the long brake line.
• Take the remaining clips and screws and secure the line to the
rear of the axle placing the screws into the locations provided
making sure the brake line tubing fits into the loop on the clips.
• Screw the brake line hose into the opening on top of the tee and
tighten. Place the other end of the hose thru the clip on the
spring bracket and secure with the u-shaped clip.
• Uncoil only enough of the frame brake line to make it fit into the
end of the brake line hose.
• Check all fittings and screws to make sure they are secure.
• Bleed the brake system according to brake manufacturer in-
structions.
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.
SECOND AXLE PONTOON BRAKE LINE ASSEMBLY
Note that the brake lines are not installed in or on these axles dur-
ing assembly because of possible damage during shipping.
• Remove all contents from the brake kit box and sort by size.
Locate and straighten the long brake line tubing.
• Begin forming the end of the long brake line tubing so it can be
inserted into the fitting on the left brake cluster. Carefully form
the tubing so once inserted into the fitting that it will run parallel
to the centerline of the axle and the back of the axle.
• Now place a clip over the line and insert a screw to hold in
place while attaching the one side of the tee to the long brake
line tube and tighten so it will lay flat against the axle tube with
one opening toward the top of the axle.
• Taking the 12” line begin forming this to fit into the fitting on the
right brake cluster, the line should be formed so that it will fit
into the other side of the tee attached to the long brake line.
• Take the remaining clips and screws and secure the line to the
rear of the axle placing the screws into the locations provided
making sure the brake line tubing fits into the loop on the
clips.
• Take the brake line bracket and two (2) self tapping screws
and attach the bracket to the side frame of the trailer behind
the axle 2”.
• Screw the brake line hose into the opening on top of the
tee and tighten. Place the other end of the hose thru the clip
just mounted on the side frame and secure with the u-shaped
clip.
• Undo the frame brake line from the brake line hose and insert
the inverted flare fitting into the hose and reattach the frame
brake line.
• Uncoil the other brake line and fit it into the end of the brake
line hose and the other end into the fitting inserted on the other
hose and tighten.
• Check all fittings and screws to make sure they are secure.
• Bleed the brake system according to brake manufacturer in-
structions.
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.
