INSTALLATION

1. Mounting Points (fig.1)
   3.1.1. Identify the chock mounting points as shown in fig.1.

2. Permanent Installation.
   3.2.1. Choose the installation site carefully so that there is good access to both insert and extract the motorcycle from the chock. 3.2.2. Ensure that the motorcycle and chock do not become a hazard. 3.2.3. Use anchor bolt fixings to secure the chock to a solid concrete surface.

3. Installation for Transportation.
   3.3.1. When used for the transportation of motorcycles, the chock must be firmly bolted to the floor of the vehicle using suitable fixings. 3.3.2. Ensure that the vehicle has the capacity to take the weight of the motorcycle(s) plus the chock(s).
   3.3.3. When using the chock for transportation purposes, the front wheel of the motorcycle must be securely strapped to the chock. 3.3.4. For additional security, consideration should also be given to securing the rear wheel.

 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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, ortoo 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.).

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.
