6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Quad Lock Bike Mount Pro, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the mount with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspect Components: Regularly check the O-Rings or Zipties for signs of wear, stretching, or damage. Replace them if necessary to maintain a secure fit.
- Lubrication: The locking mechanism is designed for smooth operation. If it feels stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Quad Lock Bike Mount Pro, consider the following:
- Mount Slipping on Handlebar/Stem: Ensure the O-Rings or Zipties are tightened sufficiently. If using O-Rings, try using an additional set or replacing worn ones. For Zipties, ensure they are pulled taut.
- Phone Not Locking Securely: Verify that your phone is equipped with an official Quad Lock Case or Universal Adapter. Ensure the phone is properly aligned with the mount and twisted a full 45 degrees until a distinct click is heard/felt. Check for any debris in the locking mechanism.
- Difficulty Detaching Phone: Ensure you are fully depressing the blue release lever on the mount before twisting the phone. The mechanism requires a firm press to disengage.
