the line so that it can be routed down the back side of the axle
and then over to the brass block on the calipers.
Remove one of the brass plugs from the port in the brass block
on the left brake caliper that best aligns with the routing of the
line. Note also that the bolt holding the brass block to the caliper
can be loosened so that the brass block can be rotated to better
accommodate the angle that the brake line approaches the block
on the caliper. Thread the brake line fitting into this port to hold
the line in position making sure that the line does not rub or touch
the spring. Re-tighten the bolt in the brass block if it has been
loosened to rotate the block.
Route the line down the back side of the axle and secure to the
axle with the five (5) clamps and self tapping screws. Note that
the axle is pre-drilled for the mounting screws. Route the brake
line over to the brass block on the right brake caliper. Remove
both plugs on the right caliper block. Thread this end of the brake
line into one of the ports on the brass block. Thread the male end
of the 13” brake hose into the other port from which the plug was
removed and tighten. Position the brass block so that neither the
hose nor the brake line will contact or rub the spring. Tighten all
fittings. Place the other end of the hose up through the hole pro-
vided in the brake line clip bracket. Secure in place with the hose
clip provided. Item No. 32 on page 6.
Repeat this process on the second axle using the identical com-
ponent parts in the hardware box. Locate the brass tee in box
68140. Thread the male port of the tee into the female end of the
brake hose of the front axle. Tighten. Remove the plastic cap from
the end of the frame brake line coming out of the side frame by
the axle. Carefully uncoil the brake line enough so that it will reach
the port of the tee just threaded into the brake hose. Thread the
brake line fitting into the top port of the tee and tighten.
Locate the 40” long brake line tube in box 68140. Thread one
end of the line into the remaining port of the tee installed in the
previous step. Route the line back to the second axle. Place a coil
in the line to use up the excess line and then connect the other
end of the line into the hose coming from the second axle. Tighten
both fittings. Note that the coil in the line will absorb the vibration
created during towing.
Bleeding the Brake System
Bleed the brake system as specified in the brake manual. The
bleeding process is necessary to remove ALL air entrapped in the
system in order for the brake system to function properly.

All bleeding to the line is to be done through the bleeders on
the calipers.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed the line
per the instructions in the brake manual.
TIRE & RIM ASSEMBLIES
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” 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.
Rocker Bogie
Locate the rocker bogie as shown on page 4. Note there is a grease
zerk in the center bushing of the rocker bogie. This is necessary so
that it can be serviced in the field when needed. Position the rocker
bogie into the center mounting channel of the spring bracket. The
rocker must be positioned with the hole locations as shown for
proper operation. Align the center hole of the rocker 60205 with the
hole in the center mounting channel of the spring bracket. Insert a
3/4” x 5-1/2” hex bolt from the outside inward as shown and secure
with a hex lock nut. Tighten. Repeat on the other rocker bogie.
Springs
Position the axles so they are properly aligned with the trailer, which
is the disc brake calipers are on the backside of the axle. Block the
axles so they are approximately 12” above the floor. Drop two 1/2”
x 2-9/16” x 6-1/2” U-bolts down over the axle as shown (See Page
10), then down through the holes in the spring mounting plate that
is welded to the axle. Position a spring so that the eye end of the
spring is to the front of the trailer. Raise the spring up between the
U-bolts, slip on another spring plate and secure with four 1/2” hex
lock nuts. Run the nuts up the threads but do not tighten until after
the springs are mounted into the trailer frame. Repeat on the other
end of this axle, then on the second axle.
Axles
Place the eye of the springs mounted on the rear axle into the rear
of the rocker bogies. Align holes and secure in the rocker bogies
with a 9/16” x 3-3/4” hex bolt and hex lock nut. Raise the rear of the
spring and axle assembly up into the rear spring bracket channel.
Place a spring support channel (Ref. # 6) under the spring. Align
the holes and place 9/16” x 4-3/4” hex bolt through one side of the
spring support channel and one side of the spring bracket channel.
Next place a spring bracket bushing on the top side of the spring,
(See Detail F) align with the bolt just inserted, then insert the bolt
completely through the bushing and the other sides of the spring
bracket channel and the spring support channel. When completely
inserted, secure with a 9/16” hex lock nut. Place the eye of the
springs mounted to the front axle into the front spring bracket chan-
nel for the front axle. Secure as above using a 9/16” x 3-3/4” hex
bolt and hex lock nut. Raise the rear of the springs up into the front
side of the rocker bogies. Raise the springs up and secure by plac-
ing under the springs 9/16” x 3-3/4” hex bolts and hex lock nuts.
Tighten the bolts just installed.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.

Brake Line Installation
Open and remove parts from hardware box No. 68140 and sort
all items. Locate the long (90’) brake line and straighten out by
uncoiling on the concrete floor while walking on the line as you
uncoil. The line should be made as straight as possible to assist
in mounting to the axle. Locate five (5) brake line clamps and
1/4” self tapping screws provided in the kit. Hold the line on the
backside of the axle and familiarize yourself on how it needs to be
formed to connect to the brass blocks on the brake calipers. Form
