Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Note: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer to the Assembly Diagram at the end of the manual.
The Wheel Chock comes fully assembled, however it must be mounted onto a solid surface to secure it. It is designed to be mounted on the bed of a truck, or a motorcycle lift, or onto a concrete floor.

Concrete Floor Mounting

1. Choose a location to install the Wheel Chock that is flat, level, and capable of bearing the combined weight of the Wheel Chock and the motorcycle being secured. Be certain that the location will not obstruct walkways and will still provide enough room to retrieve the motorcycle after it is mounted. The surface of the location should be one suitable for the mounting of heavy equipment.
2. Use the mounting holes in the Base (7) of the Wheel Chock as a template
3. Arrange the Base (7) in the chosen location and, using a pencil, mark where the holes are to be drilled. You will need concrete anchors (not included) to secure the Base (7) to the concrete floor.
4. Using the correct size concrete drill bit (not included), drill the mounting holes to secure the Base (7).
5. Attach the concrete anchors to the floor.
6. Secure the Base (7) to the floor utilizing the concrete anchors.

Truck Bed or Motorcycle Lift Mounting

1. Place the Base (7) in the desired location of the truck bed or motorcycle lift where you want to mount it. Use the Base (7) as a pattern to mark where you will drill the holes that accept the hardware to mount the Wheel Chock. Use a power drill (not included) and a steel cutting drill bit (not included) to drill holes in the truck bed or motorcycle lift.
2. Attach the Base (7) to the truck bed utilizing the Mounting Bolts (6), Nylon Sleeves (8), Large Washers (9), Spring Washers (3), and secure with nuts (10). See Assembly Diagram.

Warning : Before drilling, verify that the installation surface has no hidden wires, brake lines, etc.
