7.2 Alignment Instructions
1. Using the measurements from Step 4, align each axle by
rotating the alignment bolt head on the front face of the
roadside frame bracket clockwise to move axle forward
(A Arrows)
; counterclockwise to move axle rearward
(B Arrows - Figure 16)
.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT loosen the pivot bolt.
IMPORTANT:
Two (2) scribe lines on the side of the frame
bracket indicate maximum adjustment for axle
alignment. If the edge of the visible washer
touches either scribe line the SwingAlign
™
axle alignment adjustment is “out of stroke”
(Figure 17)
. Inspect and repair trailer
components as necessary and realign.
IMPORTANT:
The
SwingAlign
™
design maintains proper
alignment without welding and without
loosening of the pivot connection. DO NOT
weld alignment bolt or pivot bolts
(Figure 17)
. If connection requires
tightening, refer to decal XL-AR418-01
Illustrated in Section 2 of this manual.
NOTE:
Alignment plates are NOT welded to the frame
bracket, but are free to rotate.
2. Relocate the slider to the forward position and recheck the
king pin alignment. Variance in dimensions “A” and “B”
(Figure 18)
indicates there are discrepancies in lock pin
hole location.
8. Brake Adjustment Instructions
Brakes should be adjusted per axle and brake manufacturer’s
specifications.
