Rocker Bogie
Locate the rocker bogie as shown on page 6. Note there is a grease zerk in
the center bushing of the rocker bogie. This is necessary so that it can be
serviced in the field when needed. Position the rocker bogie into the center
mounting channel of the spring bracket. The rocker must be positioned
with the hole locations as shown for proper operation. Align the center hole
of the rocker 60205 with the hole in the center mounting channel of the
spring bracket. Insert a 3/4” x 5-1/2” hex bolt from the outside inward as
shown and secure with a hex lock nut. Tighten. Repeat on the other rocker
bogie.

Springs
Position the axles so they are properly
aligned with the trailer. The disc brake
calipers are on the back side of the axle.
Block the axles so they are approximately
12” above the floor. Drop two 1/2” x 2-9/16”
x 6-1/2” U-bolts down over the axle, then
down through the holes in the spring
mounting plate that is welded to the axle.
Position a spring so that the eye end of the
spring is to the front of the trailer. Raise the
spring up between the U-bolts, slip on
another spring plate and secure with four 1/
2” hex lock nuts. Do not tighten until after
the springs are mounted into the trailer
frame. Repeat on the other end of this axle,
then on the second axle.
Axles
Place the eye of the springs mounted on the
rear axle into the rear of the rocker bogies.
Align holes and secure in the rocker bogies
with a 9/16” x 5-1/2” hex bolt and hex lock
nut. Raise the rear of the spring and axle
assembly up into the rear spring bracket
channel. Place a spring support channel
(Ref. # 4) under the spring. Align the holes
and place another 9/16” x 5-1/2” hex bolt
through one side of the spring support
channel and one side of the spring bracket
channel. Place a spring bracket
bushing on the top side of the spring, align
with the bolt just inserted. Insert the bolt
through the bushing, spring bracket
channel and the spring support channel.
Secure with a 9/16” hex lock nut.
Place the eye of the springs mounted to the
front axle into the front spring bracket
channel for the front axle. Secure as above
using a 9/16” x 5-1/2” hex bolt and hex lock
nut. Raise the rear of the springs up into the
front side of the rocker bogies. Raise the
spring up and secure in place with 9/16” x
5 -1/2” hex bolts and hex lock nuts. Tighten.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts.
