IMPORTANT: ALL HARDWARE FOR YOUR TRAILER IS STAINLESS STEEL. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU USE AN ANTI-SEEZE MATERIAL ON THE BOLT THREADS WHEN ASSEMBLING TO PREVENT GAULDING.

Wiring:
Plug in the tongue wire harness to the side frame wire harnesses located on the first crossmember. The white ground wire must be grounded to the trailer frame with a 3/4” self grounding tap screw.
White Ground Wire Installation
Pull the white wire out the hole in the tongue with either the brown and yellow or brown and green plug. Place the self-tapping screw provided through the round metal ring on the white ground wire of the tongue harness just pulled out. Attach the ground wire to the
main frame by driving the screw into the bottom flange of the side frame. This will assure a positive ground for the lighting.
Brake line: Place one end of the tongue brake line into the hole in the top of the tongue located just behind the front joint of the two side frames. Insert until the end of the line comes out the front of the tongue. Place the actuator into it’s approximate location on the tongue. Remove the plastic plug in the rear of the actuator and thread the brake line into the port. Tighten. Place the actuator in it’s proper location by aligning the holes in the mounting channel with the holes in the
Tongue:
Slip the tongue into the front frame cap of the frame. Line up the holes, fasten the tongue in the frame with two (2) 1/2” X 3-9/16” X 5” square u-bolts, 1/2” beveled aluminum washers, 1/2” stainless steel washers and 1/2” hex lock nut with nylon inserts at the front of the tongue plates; fasten the tongue in the rear at the front cross member location with a 1/2” X 4-1/2” hex bolt and 1/2” flat washers under the nut and bolt. Refer to Detail E and F. Connect the tongue brakline to the sideframe with a brakeline coupling (Ref.#30 on page 4).
Safety Chain:
Mount the safety chains to the front on the tongue using a 1/2” X 5-1/2” hex bolt (Ref#4) with a 1/2” stainless steel flat washer at the head of the bolt, followed by a safety chain through the drop tongue tube. Place the other safety chain on the bolt on the opposite side of tongue and secure with a 1/2” stain­less steel flat washer and 1/2” stainless steel hex lock nut with nylon insert. Refer to Diagram E.

tongue.
Actuator:
Mount the actuator (Ref#10) on the drop the tongue using two (2) 1/2” X 4-1/2” hex bolts (Ref#3) and 1/2” stainless steel hex lock nuts with nylon inserts (Ref#7).
Place a grommet around the brakeline where it comes out of the top of the tongue to keep it from vibrating and chaffing as it is being towed. Form the remaining end of the brake line so it will mate up with the brake line running down the side frame. Secure the two lines together with the brass coupling provided in Hardware box 66801. Tighten securely to prevent leaks but do not over tighten causing the threads in the fit­ting to strip.

Final Assembly Instructions
Remove and sort the small parts from the frame.
Reference Standing at the rear of the trailer will determine the right and left sides of the trailer for assembly instructions.
Rocker Bogie: Refer to Detail H, Page 6. Note there is a grease zerk in the center bushing of the rocker bogie. Position the rocker bogie into the center mounting channel of the spring bracket so that the grease zerk is pointing down. This is necessary so that it can be serviced in the field when needed. Align the center hole of
the rocker (6239210) with the center hole of the spring bracket. Insert and secure with a 3/4” X 4-1/2” hex bolt from the outside in and tighten with a 3/4” hex lock nut.
Axles: Note: The hook end of the springs must
point to the rear of the trailer, on both axles!
Position the axles so they are properly aligned with the trailer. Position the brake axle 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). Place a spring clamp on the top center of the spring. Place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” U-bolts down over the top of the spring clamp, spring and axle.
Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of the two U-bolts. Secure in place with 1/2” lock nuts. Thread onto the U-bolts but do not tighten securely until the complete unit is in position on the trailer. Repeat on the other spring. 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 rear axle under the frame, 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 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 bogie just installed. Secure in place with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.
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 assembly. Then swing the front of the spring up and attach the front mounting hole in the spring bracket with another 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts.
Brake Line Installation:
Open hardware box No. 66801 and sort. Locate the long (88’) brake line and straighten.
Locate the five (5) line clamps and the 1/4” self tapping screws. Form the brake 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 the other end of the brake line into one of the ports on the brass block. Thread the 18” brake hose male end 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 provided in the brake line clip bracket. Secure in place with the hose clip provided. Item No. 27 in Diagram F, Page 6.
Repeat this process on the second axle using the component parts in hardware box 66928.
Locate the brass tee in box 66928. 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 black plastic tube in the side frame by the axle. 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 66928. 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.
Tire And Wheel Assemblies
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” fine threaded tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 80-90 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 periodically thereafter.
Brakes:
Refer to the Brake Service Manual for service and maintenance.
