Motorcycle front wheel chock
3. INSTALLATION
3.1.
Identify the chock mounting points as shown in fig.3. the mounting holes are square to enable the use of 'coach' type bolts, having
a short square shank behind the head which prevents the bolt from rotating whilst the fixings are tightened.
3.2.
Permanent Indoor/Outdoor Installation. choose the installation sight carefully so that there is good access to both insert the
motorcycle, and remove it, from the chock. When mounting indoors, ensure that the motorcycle and chock do not become a hazard to
people or indoor vehicles such as fork lift trucks. use anchor bolt fixings to secure the chock to a solid concrete surface.
3.3.
Installation for transportation. When used for the transport of motorcycles, the chock must be firmly bolted to the floor of a trailer or
van. If mounting to a trailer or other vehicle, ensure that the floor is strong enough to take the weight of the motorcycle/s plus
the chock/s.
When using the chock for transportation purposes, the front wheel of the motorcycle must be securely strapped to the chock utilising the
strap gap indicated in fig.4. for additional security, consideration should also be given to securing the rear wheel as well.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1.
Set hinged cradle to correct height. Ascertain the size of the motorcycle's front wheel in order to set the hinged cradle part of the
chock at the correct height. see fig.4. Position 1 is for larger wheels up to 535mm in diameter. Position 3 is for smaller wheels down
to 430mm. Position 2 is for sizes in between the stated limits.
4.2.
using a 17mm spanner, remove the nuts from the hinge bolts and remove the bolts. Position the cradle at the required height and
re-insert the bolts. screw the nuts back onto the bolts and tighten them to the point where the nuts just start to grip. now back off the
nuts slightly so that the cradle can pivot freely.
4.3.
Positioning the front wheel of the motorcycle into the cradle. With the cradle in the open position as shown in fig.3, line the
motorcycle up with the chock.
4.4.
Push the motorcycle firmly into the chock so that the front tyre is held by the tapered part of the chock loop.
4.5.
As the weight of the wheel passes over the inner loop of the cradle, it will cause the cradle to flip up and support the rear of the tyre as
shown in fig.1.
4.6.
check that the bike is stable within the chock before leaving it. If the wheel is loose in the chock, move the cradle up to the next
position. If the wheel is riding too high, move the cradle down so that the bottom of the tyre is in contact with the baseplate.
4.7.
Removing bike from cradle. More effort will be required to remove the bike from the cradle. Ensure that the space into which the bike
will move is free from obstructions and people.
