U-Bolt & Plate Kit Installation (User Guide)
Couplemate™️ 50mm Square U-Bolt & Plate Kits are easy for trailer spring maintenance.
- Place U-shaped curve over axle beam.
- Align the centre spring bolt and U-bolt legs with the fish plate holes.
- Secure fish plate to leaf spring through supplied washers and nylock nuts. Tighten nuts to 60Nm with a socket.
Important: Check U-bolts and re-tighten nuts after the first trip and every 250 km thereafter.
Safety Precautions
- Do not re-use Nyloc nuts. Nyloc nuts are often less effective after the first use. This is because the nylon material (the key component of a nyloc nut) has already once conformed to the thread profile.
- Do not use a rattle gun to tighten. Rattle guns often tighten u-bolts too fast, too tight, and uneven. This can cause nylon overheat and risks undue wear.
- Ensure the axle has welded axle pads. If not, use the axle pads supplied with the spring U-bolt kit.
