Paper can be used to
protect crossbar from being
scratched while mounting
actuator if desired.

Actuator Lift mounted
to brackets on
rectangular frame with
actuator motor toward
underside of bed.
16. Bolt the "Brake Axle" in the front mounting holes with
the swing arms on the axle pointing to the rear or taillight
of the trailer using hardware from packet "H".
Note: There are 3 packages of bolts labeled "H" which
are used in steps 16, 17, & 20.
Slide washer onto each bolt (4) then insert bolts into slots
on both axle brackets. Continue to insert bolts thru holes
in rectangular frame. Slide washer onto each bolt. Thread
locknut onto bolts and hand tight only (Fig 22). Align axle
mounting brackets so they are parallel with rectangular
frame then tighten bolts using (2) 18mm wrenches or
socket set (Fig 23). Connect the brake wires to the wires
coming out the side of the frame on both sides. If desired,
secure connections with black electrical tape. Push excess
wire into frame (Fig 24).
17. Bolt the "Idler Axle" in the rear mounting holes with
the swing arms on the axle pointing to the rear or taillight
of the trailer using hardware from packet "H". Slide washer
onto each bolt (4) then insert bolts into slots on both axle
brackets. Continue to insert bolts thru holes in rectangular
frame. Slide washer onto each bolt. Thread locknut onto
bolts and hand tight only (Fig 25). Align axle mounting
brackets so they are parallel with rectangular frame then
tighten bolts using (2) 18mm wrenches or socket set (Fig
26).
18. Tires will be partially deflated for shipping purposes
(Fig 27). This may cause the bead on the tire to seperate
from the rim (Fig 28). If this happens, fill tire to 15 lbs max
air pressure to re-seat the bead (a popping sound may
happen - this is normal). Once the bead has re-seated,
reduce the air pressure in the tire back to the normal
working pressure of 3 - 5 lbs.
Before mounting tire to hub, remove the lug nuts from the
hubs (Fig 29). Mount each wheel/tire assembly to the hubs
with the 4 tapered lug nuts. The taper of the lug nuts must
face toward the wheel. Install tire with the valve stems
pointing outwards away from the frame (Fig 30). Tighten
the nuts gradually, alternating between nuts opposite
each other to assure even seating of the wheel onto the
axle (Fig 31). Once all 4 lug nuts are snug with rim, repeat
pattern and tighten firmly (when trailer is in upright
position and tires are on the ground, futher tightening
of all lug nuts may be required). Repeat tire installation
procedure four all for tires (Fig 32).
19. Position Tongue upside down in front of trailer (since
trailer is upside down) (Fig 33). On the tongue assembly,
connect the male electrical connectors to the female
electrical connectors, ensuring that the colors of the wires
match. Both connectors only go on one way (Fig 34). If
desired, use electrical tape to keep the conectors from
coming apart.
