FINAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the hardware bag from the frame, remove parts and sort by size.
XR SERIES
The XR-series roller rack is installed by placing the roller arm assembly mounting channel over the rear cross mem­ber and securing in place with a 1/2” x 4-1/2” hex bolt and lock nut. (See Diagram A). Note that it should be left loose until the boat is placed on the trailer. Once the proper posi­tions is determined, it may be tightened. Repeat on the other roller arm assembly.
The short stabilizer bunk is installed to the adjustable bunk bracket on the front cross member with a 3/8” x 1” hex bolt and lock nut. (See Diagram A).

TONGUE
The tongue is shipped separate of the frame. Locate the appropriate tongue and install by sliding it in the front of the tongue channel. Line the holes in the tongue with the holes in the tongue channel. Install the 1/2” x 4” hex bolt in the front cross hole and secure with a 1/2” lock nut.
Remove the wire harness from the rear of the tongue. Place the wire harness and the brake line through the hole pro­vided in the tongue cover plate. See Detail A in Diagram A.
Secure the tongue cover plate in position with the same 1/2” x 1-1/2” hex bolt that secures the back on the tongue to the tongue channel of the frame. Secure with 1/2” lock nut. Tighten both bolts just installed.
Plug the tongue wire harness ends into the frame harnesses by matching colors and ends. Push the extra wire provided either into the rear of the tongue or else remove the grom­met in the side frame and place the extra wire in the side frame. Replace grommet just removed.
WHITE GROUND WIRE INSTALLATION
Place the self-tapping screw provided through the round metal ring on the white ground wire of the tongue harness located at the rear of the tongue. Attach the ground wire to the main frame by driving the screw in the hole provided next to the tongue channel of the frame. This will assure a positive ground for the lighting.
SAFETY CHAINS
Locate the 1/2” x 1-1/4” hex bolt. Slip the bolt through a 1/2” at washer, then place through the last link of one of the safe­ty chains. Place a second flat washer on the bolt and insert through the hole as shown in Diagram B. Secure with a 1/2” flange lock nut. Tighten.
Repeat this process on the second safety chain on the op­posite side of the tongue.
Assembly is complete.
BRAKE LINE
Locate the brass brake line coupling. Remove the plastic cap and thread the brake line coming out the rear of the tongue into one end of the coupling. Bend the line in a smooth grad­ual radius being careful not to kink the line. Bend so it can be mated to the brake line from the side frame. Once aligned, thread the side frame brake line into the other end of the coupling. Tighten both lines into the coupling.

WINCH POST ASSEMBLY
The height that the bow eye is placed in your boat will determine the length winch post re­quired. Once this is determined, attach the winch base to the tongue with three 1/2” x 4-1/2” carriage bolts and lock nuts.
Align the holes in the Profile 2000 mounting channel with the holes in the top of the winch base. Attach the front of the winch head mounting channel to the base by placing a 1/2” x 4-1/2” hex bolt through the hole clos­est to the front of the winch base. Secure with a lock nut. Do not tighten.
Note that the winch head can now be rotated either up or down. Identify the correct hole combination to use to position the bow eye roller just above the bow eye of your boat.
When determined, secure in this position by placing the bushing as shown in Diagram C inside the winch base so it aligns with the hole just identified for the proper adjustment. Insert another 1/2” x 4-1/2” hex bolt through the determined mounting hole in the mount­ing channel and winch base making sure the bolt passes through the bushing as well. Se­cure with a 1/2” lock nut. Tighten all bolts.

Refer to the tire side wall for correct tire pressure.
SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the trailer and the brake calipers are located on the back side of the axle. (See Diagram D).
Place the springs on the top side of the spring pads welded to the axle. (See chassis Diagram D). Note that the hook
end of the spring must be mounted 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. 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.
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 installed. 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 3­1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.
ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle. Re­move the brass plug from the port in the brass block on the right brake caliper. Thread in the male end of the brake hose and tighten to 6-8 ft. lb. or else 72-96 in. lb. of torque.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Over tightening will cause the brass block to crack and then leak.
Place the other end of the hose through the hole in the brake line clip bracket and secure with the U-shaped hose clip pro­vided.
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line coming out of the side frame. Uncoil the brake line so that it reaches the end of the hose just attached to the brake line clip bracket. Thread the brake line fitting into the brake line hose. Tighten.
NOTE: The axle has brake fluid installed in the calipers and the axle line when it is assembled at the factory. This is done to protect the inner parts of the brake system during shipping and storage. The complete brake system including the axle MUST be re-bled to ensure that all air has been removed from the brake system.
For bleeding instructions see the UFP brake bleeding man­ual or the ShoreLand’r Disc Brake Manual.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed the line per the instructions in the Brake Manual.

TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLY
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” fine threaded tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-95 ft./lb. torque using the rotation pattern as shown in the Shore- Landr’s Owners Manual.
Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles driving and then peri­odically thereafter.
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 potential 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 increase the tongue weight, adjust the axle back­ward.
The distance that the axle assembly has to be moved will vary because it is directly related to the weight and center of gravity of the boat placed on it.
are being made. Final tightening will be done at the end of the adjusting process.
FRONT ROLLER 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 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 assemblies 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 member 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 than 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 raising the XR arms higher than the normal ship position. However, if need be, they can be raised higher with the use of an optional SS1000 riser kit.
Best towing is achieved when the tongue weight is 5-7% of the total gross load of the complete unit.
WINCH POST
Once all other adjustments are complete the winch post can be adjusted. Slide the winch post base backward on the
