ROCKER ARMS
Locate the rocker arms (Ref. No. 1 of the chassis
schematic). Note that the center bushing has a grease
zerk in it. Position a rocker arm up into the center channel
welded in the center of the tandem spring bracket so that
the grease zerk is pointing down. Align the holes in the
channel with the rocker arm. Insert a 3/4” x 4-1/2” hex bolt
from the outside in and secure in place with 3/4” lock nut.
Tighten. Repeat this process on the other rocker arm and
spring bracket. Grease the rocker at this time by applying
grease through the zerk just discussed.
NOTE: THE GREASE ZERK IS POSITIONED DOWN
SO THAT IT IS ACCESIBLE FOR SERVICING WHEN
NEEDED.
SPRINGS
Position the axles so they are properly aligned with the
trailer. The axles must be positioned so that the disc brake
calipers are on the back side of the axle.
Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads welded
to the axle. (See chassis diagram). Note that the hook end
of the spring must be to the rear of the trailer. Place a
spring clamp on the top center of the spring as shown.
Next place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” 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 installed on the bottom side of the axle.
Secure in place with 1/2” lock nuts. Thread the nuts onto
the U-bolts but do not tighten securely until the complete
unit is mounted in position on the trailer. Repeat on the
other spring and the other axle.
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 on other spring bracket.
Position the rear 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 springs on the bushings, the hooks will not hook
around the bushings.
Raise the front of the springs up so they align with the
rear hole in the axle rocker arm. Secure in place with
9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.
Next install another spring bracket bushing in the front
hole on the rock arm assembly. Secure with a 9/16” x
3-1/4” hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten.
Hook the hook end of the springs mounted to the front
axle over the bushing just installed in the rocker arm
