SET UP
1. Remove wheel chock parts from box.
2. See Figure 1. Determine a mounting location for the Cruiser Cradle Wheel Chock with the mounting strips (15) still attached to the unit.
3. Holding the unit in place, drill a 9.5 mm (⅜ in) hole through trailer floor using a mounting strip hole as a guide.
4. Use the hardware provided (13, 14, 16, 17) to hold the unit in place while making sure that the unit is positioned square with the trailer.
5. Drill the second 9.5 mm (⅜ in) hole through the other mounting strip hole in the opposite corner from the first hole. Use the hardware provided to secure the unit before drilling the last two holes.
6. Use the remaining hardware provided to secure the unit to the trailer floor.
7. When the Cruiser Cradle Wheel Chock is not in use, it can be removed by detaching the thumbscrews (9) and lifting it from the mounting strips, leaving the strips attached to the floor.
8. To re-attach, line up the holes in the base of the unit with the threaded holes in the mounting strips. Secure the unit into place again using the thumbscrews.
NOTE
Assemble the cradle into the primary holes indicated in Table 1 for the first mounting of the motorcycle. If the fit of the wheel is too tight or the wheel sticks in the cradle, remove the motorcycle and change the cradle to the secondary position indicated in the table. See Wheel Chock Fit and Cradle Setting.
9. Refer to Table 1 and Figure 1. Install the cradle (8) and cradle pivot pin (7) to the wheel chock holes indicated in the table. Orient the cradle so that the tabbed end of the cradle (6) is positioned away from the front stop channel (10), as shown. Secure the cradle pivot pin with the hitch pin (18).
10. If necessary, adjust the height of the V-bracket (11) to the position closest to the wheel axle height as follows:
a. Remove two screws (12).
b. Adjust the V-bracket height.
c. Install two screws and tighten to 10.8–12.2 N·m (8–9 ft-lbs).

OPERATION
Mounting the Motorcycle on Wheel Chock
  1. Place the wheel chock directly in front of or behind the motorcycle.
  2. Align the wheel with the center of the cradle.
  3. Push or drive the motorcycle onto and over the cradle until the tire rests against the front stop.
  4. When servicing or storing the motorcycle, secure the wheel to the front stop with an appropriate strap or cord. Route the strap around the front stop and through the wheel.
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:
  1. See Figure 1. Remove hitch pin (18) and cradle pivot pin (7).
  2. Move cradle (8) to new position.
  3. Install cradle pivot pin and hitch pin.
  4. Be sure that all fasteners are tight and all pins are in place prior to use.
