ROCKER ARMS
Locate the rocker arms (Ref. No. 5 of Detail A in Diagram D.
Note that the center bushing has a grease zerk in it.
Position the rocker arms up into the center channel welded in the
center of the tandem spring bracket so that the grease zerk is point-
ing down. Align the holes in the channel with the rocker arm. Se-
cure in place with a 3/4” x 4-1/2” hex bolt and 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 ac-
cesible for servicing when needed.
SPRINGS
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. The brake axle must always be mounted as
the rear axle to give you the best braking possible (See Diagram
D). There is no right and left to the axle without brakes. It can be
mounted either way.
Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads welded to the
axle. (See chassis diagram). Note that
t he 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 placed. Secure in place with 1/2” lock nuts.
Thread onto the U-bolts but do not tighten securely until the com-
plete 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 rear axle under the frame, then hook the loop of the
springs 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 rear hole in
the axle boogie 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 assemblies. 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. 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.
