5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to safely place and remove your motorcycle from the wheel chock.
- Prepare the Chock: Ensure the wheel chock is properly adjusted for your motorcycle's wheel size and is stable on the ground or securely bolted for transport.
- Roll Motorcycle In: With the motorcycle in neutral, slowly and carefully roll the front wheel into the cradle of the wheel chock. Apply gentle forward pressure until the wheel rolls over the pivot point and locks into the upright position. You should feel a distinct "click" or resistance as it locks.
- Verify Security: Once the wheel is in place, gently attempt to rock the motorcycle to ensure it is firmly secured and stable. The motorcycle should stand upright without assistance.
- Apply Additional Securing (for Transport): If transporting, attach tie-down straps to the motorcycle's frame and the eye loops on the wheel chock or other secure points on your vehicle/trailer. Tighten the straps to prevent any lateral movement.
- Remove Motorcycle: To remove the motorcycle, apply firm, steady backward pressure on the handlebars. The wheel will pivot out of the locked position. Slowly roll the motorcycle backward out of the chock.
