Personal and Work Area Safety (continued)
F. While setting up and using the Motorcycle
Wheel Chock keep work area clean and well
lighted. Keep spectators and children out of
the work area.
3. Use of the Motorcycle Wheel Chock
A. This Wheel Chock is designed to t most
motorcycles. There are some extra wide
tires and specially designed front fenders
which will not t in the Wheel Chock. Do not
exceed the Wheel Chock’s tire size capacity
and do not modify the design of the Wheel
Chock.
B. Before each use, check the Wheel Chock
for loose hardware, cracks, damaged parts
and any other condition that may affect the
safe use of this product. Do not use the
Wheel Chock if it is damaged.
C.. Be aware of the danger of “dynamic
loading”. This situation arises when a
load is dropped onto or against the Wheel
Chock, resulting in a short term excessive
load. Dynamic loading can result in damage
and failure of the Wheel Chock and personal
injury to the person loading the motorcycle
onto the Wheel Chock.
D. The Motorcycle Wheel Chock must be
mounted onto a level, at surface before
use. Never use the Wheel Chock unless it is
properly mounted to a solid surface capable
of supporting the total weight of the motor-
cycle and the Wheel Chock.
E. Never ride a motorcycle into the Wheel
Chock. The rider should dismount from the
motorcycle and slowly roll it into the Wheel
Chock. Never sit on a motorcycle that is
loaded onto the Wheel Chock.
F. Adhere to all Department of Transpor-
tation (D.O.T.) requirements when using
this product.
G. Before transporting a motorcycle in a
truck bed, secure the motorcycle with ropes,
and/or tie-downs (not included). The vehi-
cle’s engine must be OFF and parking brake
set before loading or unloading the motor-
cycle into or out of the Wheel Chock. Do not
exceed 55 MPH while transporting a motor-
cycle in a truck bed.
H. Maximum load for this product is a 1,800
Lbs. motorcycle; loading motorcycles heavi-
er than 1,800 Lbs. into this Wheel Chock
could result in personal injury, property dam-
age and damage to the wheel chock.
I. This product is not designed for aircraft
applications.
J. Product labels contain important informa-
tion. Maintain labels, and if labels need to
be replaced, contact MAXXTOW.
Keep in mind that the warnings previous-
ly discussed cannot cover all possible
events and circumstances. It is impor-
tant that the person setting up and using
this Motorcycle Wheel Chock use com-
mon sense at all times.
MAXXTOW is not responsible for the
attachment or the installation. The at-
tachment of this product is critical and
beyond the control of MAXXTOW Towing
Products. MAXXTOW will neither guar-
antee nor will it be liable for any damage

Assembling and Mounting the
Motorcycle Wheel Chock and Stand
1. Refer to photo above and to the Assem-
bly Drawing at end of this manual.
2. Once assembled, this Motorcycle Wheel
Chock must be mounted to a solid, level
concrete surface, or in the bed of a truck.
3. To assemble the Wheel Chock:
A. Assemble Front Support (4) to the front,
closed end of the Stand Base (3), using
Bolts (12), Washers (7) and Nuts (8). If not
already assembled, thread the Eyelets (5)
and the Leg Plugs (8) into the Front Sup-
port.
B. See Assembly Drawing for positioning
of the Wheel Bracket (2). Assemble this to
the Stand Base using Rod (11) secured with
Washers (9) and R-Pins (10).
C. Note: The Wheel Cradle (1) can be
moved forward, or backward depending
on the size of the motorcycle front wheel.
Measure the motorcycle front wheel and
see how it ts between the Wheel Bracket
(2) and the Wheel Cradle. Then put the
Wheel Cradle in the desired position and
secure it in place using Rod (11); use
Washers (9) and R-Pins (10) to lock the
Rod in place.
D. This Wheel Chock and Stand must be
securely mounted before using. Plan the lo-
cation carefully. The mounting surface must
be level and solid and designed to support
the heavy weight of a motorcycle. There
should be adequate room on both sides of
the Stand so that the motorcycle can be
safely rolled in and out without obstructions.
E. There are mounting holes in the bottom
of the Stand Base (3). Use these holes as a
template to plan where to mount the Stand.
Mounting hardware should be inserted into
all 4 of the mounting holes on each side of
the Stand Base.
F. For mounting in concrete, use concrete
drill bit to drill holes; then attach concrete
anchor bolts (not included) to the oor before
securing the Stand Base to the concrete.
Follow hardware manufacturer’s instructions
for properly securing concrete anchors in the
cement.
For mounting to a truck bed, plan the loca-
tion only after making sure that no electrical
wires, gas tanks or other obstacles are in
the path of the drilling. Use a steel cutting
drill bit to drill the needed holes. Secure the
Stand Base to the truck bed with appropriate
hardware (not included.
If you are not accustomed to doing the
tasks mentioned above, the work should
be done by a qualied service technician.
Using the Motorcycle Wheel Chock
1. As stated, the Wheel Cradle (1) can be
adjusted to one of several positions depend-
ing on the size of the motorcycle wheel.
Find the position that best locks the wheel
in place when the wheel is rolled in and the
Wheel Bracket pivots up to its closed posi-
tion.
2. Loading a motorcycle into a truck bed will
Always wear ANSI approved
safety goggles.

require appropriate ramps (not included).
The motorcycle must also be secured to the
truck bed with straps or belts (not included).
To load the motorcycle into the Wheel
Chock, lower the leading edge of the Wheel
Bracket (2) and slowly push the motorcycle
into the Stand. It is recommended that an
assistant help with this task. As the wheel
rolls in, the pivoting Bracket will pivot and
close, securing the motorcycle in the Wheel
Chock.
3. If the motorcycle is going to be stored in
the Wheel Chock for a length of time, it is
recommended that additional stability sup-
ports are used (straps or belts).
4. To release the motorcycle from the Wheel
Chock, rst remove any stability supports
used, and then with assistance, slowly roll
back the motorcycle away from the Wheel
Chock.
Maintaining the Wheel Chock
1. Frequently check the condition of the Mo-
torcycle Wheel Chock. Make sure all com-
ponents are in good condition. If the Wheel
Chock becomes damaged through accident,
or if any weld damage is noted, the product
should be replaced. Check to make sure
that all hardware is tightly secured in place.
Keep the Wheel Chock clean.
