u and your motorcycle will arrive at your destination, ready to
ride! We ask that if you have any questions, please give us a call.
Unpack your WHEELDOCK, and rotate the trip lever as shown in Figure A. Place the WHEELDOCK on
a flat surface. It comes fully assembled and ready for use either freestanding or mounted on a trailer for
transporting your motorcycle. Your WHEELDOCK is now ready to hold your motorcycle upright for cleaning
and/or storage.
The WHEELDOCK is built with three feet or points of contact for stability.
THE PREMIER MOTORCYCLE CHOCK 2
CAUTION
: When using the WHEELDOCK in the garage or driveway, be sure the feet are the only
points touching and the center floor is not sitting on a high spot or piece of gravel. This condition
may cause the WHEELDOCK to rotate easily, possibly tipping your bike.
There should be a slight clearance or gap under the center floor of the WHEELDOCK. Use a piece of
card stock to check for this clearance before rolling your bike into the WHEELDOCK.
TIP: If necessary, place two rubber pads under the feet that are welded to the ends of the 2-inch

square cross bar. This will raise the front of the WHEELDOCK and ensure three points of contact.
This is only necessary when using the WHEELDOCK in its freestanding mode, never when mounting to
a trailer.
To mount the WHEELDOCK onto a trailer: (Watch Video On-line www.wheeldock.com.) Place the WHEELDOCK in its final position and drill two 9/16-inch holes where indicated in
Figure A (at the end of the slot in the keyholes). Push the supplied T-nuts up from the bottom of
the trailer floor into these holes. Use a hammer to seat the flange of the T-nuts flush with the
floor. Be careful not to deform the flange or the barbs. When mounting to a metal floor, first cut 2-inch plywood-mounting blocks about 4-inches square
and attach to the bottom of the floor centered on the 9/16-inch hole you have drilled. Use
screws from the top of the trailer to hold these blocks in position. Using the holes as
templates, finish drilling through the plywood and install the T-nuts
as before.
TIP: Install a wood screw up from the bottom in a few places at the edge of the T-nut flange so the
head of the wood screw bears against the lip of the flange. This keeps the T-nut from pushing out
if you step on the bolt head with the bolt backed off. Hopefully this is the last time you will need to
work under your trailer. From the top of the trailer floor, start the bolts into the nuts part way. Install the unit by first dropping the WHEELDOCK over the forward bolt head and pushing the
WHEELDOCK forward until the other bolt comes through the remaining hole in the entry floor of
the WHEELDOCK. Rotate the WHEELDOCK clockwise as far as it will go and tighten the bolts
with the T-handled 5/16-inch wrench provided. Your WHEELDOCK is now ready to safely
transport your bike. To remove the WHEELDOCK, loosen the two mount bolts and reverse the above instructions. At
this point the bolts must either be removed or tightened down flush with the surface of the floor
so as to not cause a tripping hazard.
NOTE: Be sure to read and understand WHEELDOCK strapping information contained in this

instruction manual. Always use a safety strap through the front wheel and attach the strap


hooks to the anchor points provided on the WHEELDOCK. Always transport your bike by

strapping it down and forward from two mid points to stabilize the motorcycle. Use good quality

straps and enough compression to remove all side-to-side movement.

Figure B
General Operating Instructions (Figure B) Open the shoe carriage mechanism by placing your foot on the right or left cocking lever. This
cocking movement is similar to kick-starting a motorcycle as the movement is down and back in
an arc. This takes a good heavy push with your foot. Once cocked, the shoe is now open and
flat on the WHEELDOCK floor and will remain open until you pull your bike into the WHEELDOCK
and depress the Trip Lever.
NOTE: Always keep one hand on the bike to keep it from rolling back when the carriage is opened.

We recommend leaving the bike in first gear so it cannot roll backwards when the shoe carriage

is opened. When you ride into the WHEELDOCK, pull up to the forward stop and press the Trip Lever with
your foot. This releases the air spring and clamps the wheel.
TIP: Be sure to leave your motorcycle in first gear. At this point, your motorcycle is secure against tipping and you can safely get off the bike. Follow the strapping instructions below before hauling your bike. 4

Figures C-F
Strapping Instructions (See Figures C-F) Always use a safety strap through the front wheel and attach the end hooks to the anchor

points provided on the WHEELDOCK (see the bottom two photos).
(see page 5 for a full description of our custom built front safety strap.)
TIP: Compressing the front suspension by strapping down is not necessary or advised. Always transport your bike by strapping it down and slightly forward from two mid points. Find
a point as high on the bike as possible to tie off to as this will stabilize the bike much better
than a low point. Use good quality straps and only enough compression to remove all the side-
to-side movement. Remember we are stabilizing the side-to-side shake out of the bike for
transporting and not compressing both ends of the suspension. Let the WHEELDOCK do the
work up front. Properly strapping the bike usually requires less suspension compression than
riding the bike. See the top two photos for general strap locations.
NOTE: We use ratchet straps with built-in soft ties and locking hooks when transporting our bikes

to shows and highly recommend these over the cam-lock straps, as those tend to slip and

loosen. Because we leave the suspension room to travel, we recommend locking hooks as

insurance against a strap coming unhooked from the floor rings. You can also use tape around

the hooks or a bungee cord to always keep the hooks in tension. (Before learning this, we had

hooks come loose on several trips to shows; however, the WHEELDOCK held the bike up on each

occasion).

WARNING!
Individuals who fail to read and follow the instructions in the owners manual and
information sheets risk damage to property, serious personal injury and/or death! Always
use at least 2 straps to anchor the rear of the motorcycle when traveling and always use a
strap through the front tire to prevent movement. WHEELDOCK LLC assumes no
liability for damage or injury due to misuse of WHEELDOCK or WHEELDOCK accessories.
