Overview

The Sealey Professional Motorcycle Heavy Duty Front Wheel Chock, Model No. FPS7, is a tubular wheel chock designed to support the front wheel of a motorcycle during transit or storage. It is manufactured to a high standard, promising years of trouble-free performance when used according to the provided instructions and properly maintained.

Function Description:

The primary function of the FPS7 wheel chock is to securely hold the front wheel of a motorcycle, preventing it from moving. This is achieved through a fully adjustable design that accommodates various wheel sizes and a pivot clamp mechanism. When the motorcycle's front wheel is pushed into the chock, its weight causes the pivot clamp to flip over, locking the wheel securely in place. The front of the tire is then supported by an upper clamp, and the rear of the tire by the pivot clamp. This secure hold makes it suitable for both static storage and dynamic transportation. The chock can be used free-standing, thanks to its rubber feet that prevent sliding, or it can be permanently fixed to a hard surface for enhanced stability.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model No.: FPS7
  • Minimum/Maximum Tyre Width: 110-130mm
  • Minimum/Maximum Tyre Diameter: 380-460mm
  • Construction: Tubular steel frame with a pivot clamp mechanism.
  • Adjustability: Fully adjustable to fit wheels within the specified diameter range. The upper clamp has three locking positions, and the pivot clamp has two locking positions, allowing for optimal fit for different motorcycle wheel sizes.
  • Mounting: Can be used free-standing or permanently bolted to a solid concrete surface or vehicle floor.

Usage Features:

  • Adjustable Clamps: The chock features adjustable upper and pivot clamps. To adjust, the 'R' clip is extracted, the pin withdrawn, the clamp moved to the desired position, the pin re-inserted, and the 'R' clip retained. This allows for an optimum fit for differing motorcycle wheel sizes.
  • Motorcycle Positioning: To position a motorcycle, the pivot clamp should be in the open position. The motorcycle is aligned with the chock and pushed firmly until the front tire runs through the tapered part of the pivot clamp. The weight of the wheel then causes the clamp to flip over, securing the tire.
  • Stability Check: After positioning, it is crucial to check that the motorcycle is stable within the chock. If the wheel is loose or too high, the motorcycle must be removed, and the clamp positions adjusted for an optimum fit.
  • Motorcycle Removal: Removing the motorcycle requires more effort. The operator must take a firm stance, hold the handlebar grips, and pull back with sufficient force to overcome the hold of the pivot clamp and release the motorcycle.
  • Installation Options:
    • Permanent Installation: For permanent use, the chock should be secured to a solid concrete surface using anchor bolt fixings. The installation site should allow good access for inserting and extracting the motorcycle and ensure the chock does not become a hazard.
    • Transportation Installation: When used for transporting motorcycles, the chock must be firmly bolted to the floor of the vehicle using suitable fixings. It is essential to ensure the vehicle has the capacity to carry the weight of the motorcycle(s) plus the chock(s). For transportation, the front wheel of the motorcycle must be securely strapped to the chock, and securing the rear wheel is also recommended for additional security.
  • Safety Precautions:
    • Always ensure nothing attached to the front forks or fairing will foul on the chock.
    • Maintain correct balance and footing when positioning the motorcycle.
    • Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
    • Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the work area.
    • Do not operate the chock if damaged or if under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or intoxicating medication.
    • Do not allow untrained persons to use the chock.
    • Do not make any modifications to the chock.
    • Before removing a motorcycle, ensure no obstructions or persons are in its path.

Maintenance Features:

  • Good Condition: The chock should be maintained in good condition by an authorized service agent.
  • Damaged Parts: Replace or repair damaged parts using only genuine Sealey parts. Unauthorized parts can be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
  • Cleanliness: Keep the chock clean for the best and safest performance. Ensure clamps are free from oil and grease before positioning a motorcycle.
  • Storage Environment: Locate the chock in a suitable area that is clean, tidy, free from unrelated materials, and adequately lit. The floor/ground must be level and strong enough (preferably concrete) to support the weight of the chock and the motorcycle. Do not mount the chock on tarmacadam, as the surface may be unstable.
