Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This product is specifically designed for Ifor Williams trailers equipped with twin or double parabolic leaf springs. Ensure your trailer's leaf spring configuration matches the specifications (M12 thread, 140mm internal height, 55mm internal width) before purchase. It is not designed for single leaf springs or different trailer brands without verification.
Setup:
- Position the U-bolt over the leaf springs, ensuring it seats correctly within the axle's U-bolt plate or mounting area.
- Place the provided M12 nyloc nuts onto the threaded ends of the U-bolt.
- Tighten the nuts evenly and sequentially. Use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for your trailer's axle and leaf springs. Overtightening can damage the springs or U-bolt, while undertightening can lead to loosening.
Care:
Regularly inspect the U-bolts and nuts for any signs of corrosion, damage, or loosening. Clean with a dry cloth or brush to remove dirt and debris. Re-check the torque periodically, especially after initial installation or after heavy use, to ensure continued security.
