Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line com-
ing out of the side frame by the axle. Carefully uncoil the brake line
so that it will reach the end of the hose just attached to the brake
line 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 sys-
tem. 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 ShoreLand’r Brake Manual
DUAL AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
If your trailer is equipped with dual axle brakes connect the line to
the axle as follows: 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 the brake hose male end into
the block and tighten to 6-8 ft. lb. or 72-96 in. lb. of torque. DO
NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Over tightening will cause the brass block
to crack and then leak. Attach the brake hoses from the axles to the
spring bracket with the U-shaped hose clip. Once the brake hoses
are secured in place the lines can be attached. Identify which brake
line hose that the side frame brake line tubing will be connected
to. In a dual axle installation it can connected to either one. When
identified, locate the brass tee connector. Screw the male port of
the tee into the brake line hose. Tighten. Next connect the side
frame brake line into the top port on the tee. Connect the two axles
together using the 40” brake line supplied. Thread one end of the
line into the brass tee just installed. Route the line over to the other
axle, form a loop in the line and then connect the other end into the
brake line hose for the second axle.
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 ShoreLandr’s Owners Manual.
Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles driving and then periodically
thereafter.
