ALIGNMENT
1.
Release the brake system and pull the
trailer forwards and backwards several
times in a straight line to free the suspen-
sion from binding and tension.
NOTE: This procedure must be performed
on a smooth level surface.
2.
For best results, the use of axle extensions
and a “BAZOOKA” type king pin post, or
a suitable optical alignment device are
recommended.
3.
NOTE: Prior to commencing alignment,
ensure that the trailing beam is installed to
centre line of hanger. Align the front axle
with the king pin as shown.
4.
Align the remaining axles to the front axle as
shown.
5.
Torque the hanger clamp bolts if
REY-ALIGN
TM
or if huck bolted, weld the
alignment washers as shown.
6.
(REY-ALIGN
TM
feature) torque 22 mm (7/8”)
alignment clamp bolt to 815 Nm (600 ft lbs)
using only a torque wrench.
NOTE: 1) Refer to page M-14 for details.
2) Run nut up very slowly.
7.
Torque the adjustment shaft (REY-ALIGN
TM
feature) clockwise to 80 Nm (60 ft lbs) or, if
Huck
®
Bolt, weld the alignment washers as
shown on the right.
8.
(If replacing Huck Bolted) torque 28 mm
(1-1/8”) replacement pivot bolt to 1110Nm
(820 ft lbs). Run nut up very slowly.
9.
Optional: Weld along top of “TAB” to secure
alignment in position.
NOTE: By removing welds carefully, you
should be able to re-align up to 3 or 4
times with minimal or no cleaning.
10. Verify that torque is correct on all fasteners.
11. After initial 1,600 kms (1,000 miles), the
alignment should be re-checked and
corrected if necessary, torque on the clamp
nuts should also be checked.
