mounting base or any of the original mounting hardware compo-
nents.
Assemble as follows:
The jack must be mounted to the winch base before it is installed
on the trailer tongue. If the winch base is already mounted on the
tongue, it will have to be removed for the jack installation.
Locate the hardware bag and sort all items by size.
Lay the Profile 2000 winch base on its side so the side that the jack
is going to be mounted on is up.
Place the inside jack spacer on the winch base so the center pro-
trusion fits down into the indent in the winch base.
Position the jack mounting plate so it is centered around the inside
jack spacer just positioned.
Lay the jack retainer plate on top of the jack mounting plate aligning
the holes in it with the holes in the winch base.
Insert the two ½” and 1 ¼” carriage bolts into the holes just aligned
in the jack retainer plate and the winch base. Secure in place with
½” lock washers and hex nuts. Tighten.
Once tightened, rotate the jack through its normal pivoting range to
make sure it is free to travel and is not binding up.
If jack pivots, place it on the tongue and secure in place with the
bolts and hardware provided with the trailer. Complete the assem-
bly of the winch head to the winch base. Assembly is complete.
ROCKER ARMS
Locate the rocker arms (Ref. No. 2 in Diagram E). 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 pointing down. Align the holes in
the channel with the rocker arm. Secure in place with a 1/2” 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 acces-
sible for servicing when needed.
SPRINGS
Position the axles so they are properly aligned with the trailer as
shown in Diagram E. Position the brake axle so that the disc brake
calipers are on the back¬side of the axle. The brake axle must al-
ways be mounted as the rear axle to give you the best braking pos-
sible. Place the front axle so the holes for routing the brake hose
are to the rear in the event that second axle brakes will be mounted
on the trailer in the future. Place the springs on the topside of the
spring pads welded to the axle. (See Diagram E). 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. Secure 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 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 hooks 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. Attach with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts
and lock nuts.
Install another spring bracket bushing in the front holes on the rock
arm assemblies. Attach 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 not tightened at this time.

BRAKE INSTALLATION
Locate the brake hose coming out of a hole in the inside rear of the
right side frame near the axle position. Route the hose over to the
axle and insert it into the larger outer hole in the brake hose mount-
ing bracket. Route it down to the caliper where it will be attached
in the brass block.
Remove the brass plug from the port in the brass block on the right
brake caliper. Thread the brake hose just routed down from the
side frame into the port where the brass plug was just removed.
Tighten.
ATTACHING AXLE HOSE TO SPRING PLATE
It is important that the brake hose on each end of the axle be at-
tached to the spring plate to eliminate the loops that are formed in
the hose when it is attached to the calipers. Doing so will eliminate
the possibility of the hose getting caught or damaged while tow-
ing.
Locate one of the hose clamps. Spread open the clamp so it can be
slipped around the hose in the loop that is formed under the spring
as it is routed to the caliper. Once in position, squeeze the clamp
back together.
Raise the hose clamp and the loop up until the hose clamp is on top
of the spring bracket raising the loop up so it is on the back side of
the axle. Align the hole in the clamp with the hole in the rear of the
spring bracket between the two U-bolts.
Place a No. 10 flat washer on a No. 10 x 1” machine bolt. Insert the
bolt into the clamp, then down through the spring bracket. Place
