5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Quad Lock Handlebar Mount PRO, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary, but avoid overtightening.
- Cleaning: Clean the mount with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish or materials.
- Lubrication: The locking mechanism is designed for maintenance-free operation. Do not apply lubricants to the locking head unless specifically instructed by Quad Lock support.
- Storage: If the mount is removed for extended periods, store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Quad Lock Handlebar Mount PRO, consider the following:
- Mount Feels Loose: Ensure all mounting screws are tightened securely. Check that the correct handlebar shims are used for your handlebar diameter.
- Smartphone Not Locking Securely: Verify that your smartphone is equipped with a genuine Quad Lock Case or Universal Adapter. Ensure the phone is aligned correctly and twisted until an audible "click" is heard. Inspect the locking mechanism for any obstructions or damage.
- Excessive Vibration: While the mount is designed to be sturdy, some motorcycles may produce high-frequency vibrations that can affect smartphone cameras. Consider installing the optional Quad Lock Vibration Dampener (sold separately) to mitigate this.
- Difficulty Detaching Smartphone: Ensure you are pressing the release lever fully before twisting the smartphone. The mechanism requires a firm press and twist.
