Wheel Chock Fit and Cradle Setting
NOTE
The cradle settings indicated in Table 1 are recommendations only. Cradle settings may differ due to tire manufacturing variations.
When the wheel chock cradle is set in the proper location, the cradle tilts as far forward as possible without contacting the any part of the wheel chock or the surface below.
If the wheel chock is too tight or if the wheel sticks in the wheel chock, remove the motorcycle from the chock and move the cradle one setting closer to the front stop channel as follows:
- See Figure 1. Remove hitch pin (11) and cradle pivot pin (8).
- Move cradle (14) to new position.
- Install cradle pivot pin (8) and hitch pin (11).
| 1 | Cradle position 1 |
| 2 | Cradle position 2 |
| 3 | Cradle position 3 |
| 4 | Cradle position 4 |
| 5 | Cradle position 5 |

TRAILER ADAPTER KIT (SOLD SEPARATELY)
Only install the wheel chock on a well-maintained trailer or vehicle which is rated to carry the motorcycles weight. See the motorcycle's owner's manual for vehicle weights.
Mounting Bracket Installation
| 1. | See Figure 2. Install shoulder screws (3) to the wheel chock as shown. Do not use washers (2) at this time. Tighten screws to 24.4 N·m (18 ft-lbs). | |
| 2. | Locate the trailer bracket (5) as follows: a. The bracket mounting location must be at least 26 cm (10 in) (8) from the front of the trailer or any obstruction on the mounting surface that would interfere with the placement of the wheel chock. b. The bracket mounting location must allow for the entire wheel chock to fit onto the mounting surface. | |
| CAUTION Always wear proper eye protection when drilling or grinding. Flying debris could cause serious eye injury. (00402e) | ||
| 3. | Install the mounting bracket as follows: a. Orient the mounting bracket as shown in the selected location. b. Using the mounting bracket as template, mark the outside hole locations of the bracket onto the mounting surface. Set mounting bracket aside. c. Verify that the area below the mounting surface is accessible and unobstructed. d. Using a 8 mm (5/16 in) drill bit, drill holes at the marked positions. e. Install the mounting bracket (5) to the top of the mounting surface and secure with screws (4), washers (6) and lock nuts (7). Tighten to 24.4–32.5 N·m (18–24 ft-lbs). | |
| 4. | Install the wheel chock to the mounting bracket so that the previously installed shoulder screws (3) fit into the key ways of the mounting bracket. NOTE If the wheel chock does not slide easily into place on the mounting bracket, remove the shoulder screws from the wheel chock and install the shoulder screws again using washers (2), as shown. Then install the wheel chock to the mounting bracket again. Any tightness due to unevenness of the mounting surface should be relieved. | |
| 5. | Push the wheel chock forward so that the shoulder screws lock into the key ways of the mounting bracket. | |
| 6. | Install thumb screw (1) through the wheel chock bracket and into the mounting bracket (5). Tighten thumb screw finger-tight. |
