LU0106 Lund Load Assembly Instructions
The LU0106 load guides are designed to fit on the Lund boat trail-
ers manufactured with 2 x 4 side frame tubing .The length of the
mounting U-bolts provided will accommodate this size tubing only.
Mounting on a smaller or larger side frame tube may not be pos-
sible because of the U-bolt length.
Remove all items from the box and sort by size.
Note that the arm weldments of the load guide are identical so there
is no right or left part.
Locate the arm weldments and the carpeted bunks. Attach the car-
peted bunks to the arm weldments using the 5/16” x 1 ½” hex bolts
and lock washers provided. Tighten.
Make sure the boat is centered on the trailer before attempting to
install the load guides.
Position one of the load guide assemblies on the top side of the
side frame and move in or out until the desired clearance has been
established between the load guide and the boat. Select the proper
pair of holes that you will use to mount the arm weldments to the
side frame.
Locate two of the ½” x 2 9/16” x 5 ½” U-bolts. Drop them down
through the holes in the arm weldments just identified as shown in
the diagram. Place the U-bolts so one of the U-bolt legs is on each
side of the side frame. Place one of the metal plates provided onto
the legs of the U-bolts. Secure with ½” flange lock nuts.
Slide the load guide forward or backward on the frame until the rear
of the load guide does not extend past the rear of the boat. Tighten
the load guide in this position.
Repeat the above process on the load guide for the other side of
the trailer.
Assembly is complete.
TRAILER ADJUSTMENTS
The adjustment of the trailer to your boat is very important not only
for the trailer, but also the boat. Failure to do so may lead to poten-
tial failure or damage to either the trailer or boat.
Adjust as follows:
Axle Adjustment
The amount of tongue weight on your trailer can be adjusted as
follows:
To lower the tongue weight, adjust the axle assembly forward. To
in¬crease the tongue weight, adjust the axle backward.
The distance that the axle assembly has to be moved will vary be-
cause it is directly related to the weight and center of gravity of the
boat placed on it.
Best towing is achieved when the tongue weight is 5-7% of the total
gross load of the complete unit.
Wire harnesses and brake line lines will need care when moving
the axle assembly.
Rear Support System
Place the boat on the trailer so that the transom is located at the
rear of the support system. The transom of the boat should be 4” to
the center of the rear roller.
Position the roller racks so they are far enough apart to give
your boat stability while transporting. When the desired width is
achieved, move the roller rack system so that the rollers are just to
the outside of a strake. The rollers need to be adjusted so that you
have a minimum of one to two inches of clearance between the
keel of the boat and the center cross member pad. This will help
center the boat when loading and unloading.
When the desired position is determined, tighten only enough to
hold the bunks or rollers from moving while the other adjustments
are being made. Final tightening will be done at the end of the ad-
justing process.
Front Support System
The front roller assemblies on the XR series will need to be adjusted
to fit your boat. Place the roller assemblies so that the outside set
of rollers is just to the outside of a strake if your boat has strakes.
This is a desired location if the front of the boat isn’t setting to high
on the trailer with respect to the frame. Positioned as described will
help with centering your boat. If there are no strakes the roller as-
semblies can be positioned anywhere.
As a rule, when the XR roller arm assemblies are moved away from
the centerline of the trailer the front of the boat will be lowered with
respect to the trailer frame. The rollers should be moved outward
until the keel of the boat is within 1-2 inches of the front cross mem-
ber pad. The boat should be kept as low as possible on the trailer
for better towing but must also be positioned so that the front of the
boat is either level or slightly higher in front that the rear. The boat
will unload easier if the front of the boat is slightly higher than the
rear.
Most boats can be adapted to the trailer without the need of rais-
ing the XR arms higher than the way they are shipped. However,
if need be, they can be raised higher with the use of an optional
SS1000 riser kit.
Winch Post
The winch post is pre-adjusted to fit the boat. If it does not, use the
following instructions to adjust to properly fit your boat.
Once all other adjustments are complete the winch post can be ad-
justed. Slide the winch post base backward on the tongue until the
bow roller comes in contact with the boat. This bow roller needs to
be positioned directly above the boat bow eye to prevent your boat
from moving forward in the event of a sudden stop. It can be moved
up or down by removing the back bolt that mounts the winch head
to the base. When this bolt is removed, the head can be rotated up
or down to reach the desired height required to fit your boat. Once
in this position, align the closest pair of holes in the brackets and
reinsert the bolt just removed. Tighten. Attach the winch strap and
crank winch tight. Attach the bow eye safety chain into the bow eye
of the boat as well. This is just another level of protection to keep
your boat and trailer together as one unit.
Check the boat to make sure it is in the desired location forward
and backward on the trailer. If location is as instructed above, tight-
en the three bolts in the winch base securing the winch base to the
tongue.
