FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this steering wheel lockout cover?

Its primary purpose is to serve as a visual and physical deterrent to prevent unauthorized or accidental startup of a vehicle, enhancing safety in workshop environments.

What is the maximum steering wheel diameter this cover fits?

The cover is designed to fit steering wheels with a diameter of up to 600mm.

Does the cover come with a padlock or hasp?

No, the padlock (Laser Part No. 6641) or hasp (Laser Part No. 7942) required for securing the cover are sold separately.

Is this cover suitable for all types of vehicles?

It is suitable for most vehicles with steering wheels up to 600mm in diameter. It is particularly recommended for hybrid and EV safety lockout procedures.

How should I clean the lockout cover?

You can clean the cover using a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution, but avoid abrasive cleaners.

What material is the lockout cover made from?

The cover is made from reinforced vinyl.

Can this cover be used on its own without a lock?

While it provides a visual warning on its own, it is most effective for security when used with a padlock or hasp through the metal grommet.

Troubleshooting

Cover is difficult to fit onto the steering wheel.

Ensure the steering wheel is turned straight. For larger steering wheels, try fitting one side first then gently stretching the other side over. If the steering wheel is over 600mm in diameter, this cover may not be suitable.

Grommet feels loose.

Check that the grommet is properly secured to the vinyl. If it appears damaged, the cover may need replacement.

Warning message is fading.

Clean the cover gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If fading is significant, consider replacing the cover for continued effectiveness.
