purposes, the front wheel of the motorcycle
must be securely strapped to the chock.

2.1. Introduction.
Tubular wheel chock supports the front wheel
of the motorcycle when in transit or storage.
Fully adjustable to fit wheels Ø380-460mm.
Features a pivot clamp which locks the front
wheel securely by the motorcycle weight.
Rubber feet prevent chock from sliding. Chock
can be used free standing or fixed to any hard
surface.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1. Adjusting the Clamps (fig.2).
4.1.1. The upper clamp has 3 locking positions and
the pivot clamp has 2 locking positions. To
adjust the clamps, extract the 'R' clip and
withdraw the pin. Move the clamp to the
desired position, insert the pin and
retain with the 'R' clip.
4.1.2. To obtain the optimum fit for differing sizes of
motorcycle wheel, adjust the positions of the
clamps and then test as necessary.
4.2. Positioning Motorcycle in the Chock.
4.2.1. With the pivot clamp in the open position as
shown in fig.2, align the motorcycle with the
chock.
4.2.2. Push the motorcycle firmly into the chock so
that the front tyre runs through the tapered part
of the pivot clamp.
4.2.3. As the weight of the wheel passes over the
pivot clamp, it will cause the clamp to flip over.
The front of the tyre will be supported by the
upper clamp and the rear of the tyre by the
pivot clamp.
4.2.4. Check that the motorcycle is stable within the
chock before leaving it. If the wheel is loose, or
too high in the chock, extract the motorcycle
from the chock and adjust the positions of
the clamps until the optimum fit is achieved
(see section 4.1.).
4.3. Removing Motorcycle from the Chock.
4.3.1. More effort will be required to remove the
motorcycle from the chock. Ensure that the
space into which the motorcycle will move is
free from obstructions and people.
4.3.2. Take a firm stance and hold the motorcycle
handlebar grips.
4.3.3. Pull back the motorcycle with sufficient force to
overcome the hold of the pivot clamp and
release the motorcycle from the chock.
