Wheel Chocks
Note that the trailer has holes provided in the deck so either
one bike can be carried in the center of the trailer or two bikes
can be carried, one on each side of the trailer.
Locate one of the wheel chocks shipped with the trailer and
place it on the trailer deck. Determine the desired location
forward and backward to create the proper tongue weight for
the trailer as well as the desired positioning for transporting
your bikes.
Once determined, align the holes in the wheel chock with the
holes provided in the deck of the trailer. Locate four (4) 3/8”
x 1” carriage bolts provided in the hardware box. Insert one
of the bolts into the aligned holes in the wheel chock. Secure
the bolt in place using a 3/8” lock washer and 3/8” hex nut
on the bottom side of the deck. Repeat this process on the
three remaining bolts. Note that the wheel chock may be po-
sitioned so that one of the bolts is located in the slotted hole
provided in the deck. Should this be the case, place one 3/8”
flat washer provided on the bolt before the 3/8” lock washer
and 3/8” hex nut are installed. Once all bolts are installed
they can be tightened.
Repeat the above process on the remaining wheel chock if
two are being installed on the trailer.
using the process just described for the bottom holes.
Repeat this process until all four of the bolts have been
installed on each side panel.
Once all of the bolts have been installed, all bolts attaching
the side and front panels together and to the trailer can be
tightened.
Remove the chrome edge trim from the hardware box and
unwind. This trim is to be placed on the edge of the side panels
not only for appearance but also for protection when you lean
over the panel. Pry one end of the trim open just enough so
that it can be started on the edge of the side panel. Starting
at the front of the side panel where it connects to the front
panel, slip the edge trim onto the side panel. Slowly slip the
edge trim onto the edge pushing it completely down over the
side panel as you move towards the rear. The edge trim has
an adhesive inside so once it is pushed completely over the
side panel it will begin to adhere itself. Cut off any excess edge
trim that you may have once you reached the rear end of the
side panel. Repeat this process on the other side panel.
Side Panels and Front Shield
Locate the 16- 3/8” x 5” hex bolts provided in the hardware
bag. Next locate the four tie down brackets also supplied in
the hardware box. Insert four of the bolts through the smaller
hole in the tie down brackets so the bent leg of the bracket
will point upward along side the head of the bolt. Place a
3/8” flat washer also provided on the balance of the bolts just
mentioned.
With the assistance of another person raise one of the side
panels into position on the top side of the trailer side frame.
Starting on the back end of the side panel, align the slotted
holes in the formed over mounting legs of the side panel with
the holes provided in the trailer side frame. While one person
holds the side panel in its proper position, the other person
will place in the attaching bolts. Beginning at the rear of the
side panel, the first bolt to install will have one of the tiedown
brackets on it. Insert this bolt assembly down through the rear
slotted hole in the formed tab of the side panel, then down
through the holes provided in the side frame. Once the bolt is
fully inserted, secure it on the bottom side of the frame with
a 3/8” hex flange lock nut. DO NOT TIGHTEN.
Insert one of the 3/8” x 5” hex bolts with the flat washer in
the next slotted hole forward in the side panel. Place it down
through the frame and secure with a 3/8” hex flange lock nut
as on the first bolt. Continue to move forward placing three
(3) more bolts with flat washers (total of (four) 4) in the other
slotted holes. As you move forward on the side panel it will
have to be pushed inward to the center line of the trailer to
align the holes in the side panel with the holes in the frame.
Once a total of four bolts with flat washers are installed, the
next bolt has to be one with a tie down bracket on it. This is
to be positioned as the sixth bolt from the rear or else the
third position from the front. Note that this is only a recom-
mended position that will work on most bikes. It may be
placed either forward or backward to best adapt to your
bike and its tie-down location. Continue to place in the
remaining bolts with flat washers until all eight (8) bolts holding
the side panel to the frame are installed.
Repeat the above process on the other side panel.
Locate the front panel. Place a flat washer on two (2) 3/8” x
3-3/4” hex bolts. Align the slotted holes in the front panel with
the holes in the front cross member of the welded frame and
insert the two (2) 3/8” x 3-3/4” hex bolts. Secure with 3/8”
hex flange lock nuts. DO NOT TIGHTEN.
Attach the side panels to the front panel with the 1/4” x 3/4”
hex bolts provided. Place a flat washer on one of the 1/4” x
3/4” hex bolts. While one person moves the front panel either
forward or backward to align the bottom hole in the front panel
with the mating hole in the side panel, a second person will
insert the bolt through the matched holes from the rear of the
trailer towards the front. Once the bolt is inserted in the holes
place on a second flat washer. Secure with one of the 1/4”
kep nuts provided. Repeat this process on the bottom hole
of the other side panel and front panel. DO NOT TIGHTEN.
Continue attaching the front panel to the side panels by
matching the next pair of holes upward in the panels and
securing them together with the 1/4” x 3/4” bolts provided
