Safe Use of Product
Cautions:
- For use on railroad car or locomotive wheels 28"-44". Do not use on smaller or larger diameter or on other types of wheels.
- For rail sizes 75 to 141 lbs./yd.
- Set brake before installing chock. Chock alone may not hold car in place.
- Use 2 chocks per car being chocked.
- DO NOT install chocks while car is moving.
- Rail surface must be clean. Do not install this product on oily or greasy rail - product may slip.
- Spurs are important in holding chock to rail. Rotate spur when edge becomes dull. Replace spurs when necessary. Dull or missing spurs may cause chocks to slip.
- Do not use chocks on grades. If your track has a dip or a hollow, extra care must be taken to secure car.
- Chocks may not hold if rail car is lifted up at one end.
- Excessive vibration may cause a chock to slip.
- Keep fingers and hands away from car wheel. Watch your head!
- On double chocks, always use tarp strap (supplied with chocks) to draw chocks tight.
