ROCKER ARMS
Locate the rocker arms (Ref. No. 7 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 pointing down. Align the
holes in the channel with the rocker arm. Secure 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. Posi-
tion 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 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. Place the 1/2” x 6-1/2” U-bolts down
over the top of the spring clamp, spring and axle as shown.
