brake line. Thread the brake line into the coupling. Tighten.
Note that the brake system will have to be bled using the proper
bleeding method as described in the brake manuals to remove any
air that may have entered the system during the assembly process.
Place a ½” x 5” hex bolt through a ½” flat washer, and then though
the last link of a safety chain. Insert the bolt through the hole provided in the tongue until it is completely in and the excess bolt is
extending out the other side of the tongue. Slide the last link of the
second safety chain onto the bolt, a flat washer and secure with a
½” flange lock nut. Tighten.
REAR TONGUE ROLLER ASSEMBLY
Locate the tongue roller assembly that will be attached to the rear
of the tongue. Align the holes in the assembly with those drilled in
the rear of the tongue. Attach it to the tongue using a ½” x 4” hex
bolt in the pivoting hole of the bracket. Secure with a ½” flange lock
nut. Tighten but do not over tighten because this roller assembly
must pivot to fit the center pontoon tube once the boat is placed
on it.
Place a 3/8” x 4” hex bolt in the remaining hole attaching the assembly to the tongue. Position the roller assembly so it is in its lowest position. Leave the bolt loose for now until the final adjustments
are made.
TA1067 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The TA1067 kit is used to build a standard pontoon trailer into a
trailer to fit tritoon pontoons. The kit includes all of the necessary
items to add proper support to the tritoon tube during transporting.
It is accomplished as follows:
INSTALLING THE TRITOON TONGUE
Insert the Tritoon tongue into the tongue channel of the frame.
Note that this tongue is cut at the opposite angle so the longer portion of the tongue to the rear will be on the top.
Secure it in place by inserting the ½” x 4” cross bolt into the hole in
the front of the tongue channel. Attach the rear of the tongue using
a ½” x 1-½” hex bolt. Secure with ½” flange lock nuts. Tighten.
Mate the plugs with the side frame harnesses and plug together.
Attach the white ground wires to the frame using the screw removed when disassembling the old tongue.
Carefully form the rear of the brake line coming out the rear of the
tongue so it can mate to the coupling attached to the side frame
TRITOON SUPPORT TUBE WELDMENTS
Locate the two support tube weldments. Place one at the rear of
the trailer just ahead of the rear cross member. Attach it to the side
frames using ½” x 5 9/16” x 4” U-bolts and ½” flange lock nuts.
Square with the side frames, and then tighten in position.
Place the second support tube weldment 90” forward from the rear
one just installed. (See diagram for approximate placement). Attach it to the side frames using ½” x 5 9/16” x 4” U-bolts and ½”
flange lock nuts. Position the support tube weldment so it is square
in the frame. Tighten.
Place a ½” x 3 9/16” x 4 ¼” square U-bolt around the support tube
weldment just installed so the U-bolt legs are pointing to the front
of the trailer. Locate one of the adjustable bunk brackets. Position
it on the front side of the support tube weldment, align a pair of the
lower adjustment holes with the legs of the U-bolt and then slide
over the U-bolt legs. Next place on a ½” lock washers and hex nuts.
Turn the nuts until they are finger tight only because they will need
to be readjusted when the boat is put on the trailer. Repeat this
process on the remaining brackets.
Attach the bunk brackets to the top of the adjustable bunk brackets
using 3/8” x 1” hex bolts and lock nuts. Tighten but do not over
tighten because they must be allowed to pivot so the bunks can
conform to the pontoon tube.
Place one of the carpeted bunks on the top of the bunk brackets
on one side of the trailer just installed so that the rear of the bunk is
even with the rear of the other bunks on the trailer (Approximately
22” behind the bunk bracket). Tap the bunk until it is completely
down into the bunk bracket. Secure the bunk in place using two-No.
10 x 1 ¾” phillip head screws.
Repeat the process in step 5 on the front bracket.
