5. Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect all components of the kit for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Pay close attention to the bar clamp, pivot arm, and lever head.
• Tightness Check: Before each use, ensure all screws and the bar clamp are securely tightened to prevent movement or detachment during operation.
• Cleaning: Clean the mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the materials.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the kit in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

• Issue: Camera feels loose or unstable after mounting.
  Solution: Verify that the bar clamp is securely fastened to the bar and that the appropriate spacers were used. Ensure the ergonomic thumbscrew on the Dual Pivot Arm is fully tightened. Confirm that the action camera is properly locked into the lever head with an audible click.
• Issue: Difficulty attaching or detaching the action camera.
  Solution: Ensure the blue release lever on the mount is fully depressed when attempting to detach the camera. Check for any debris or obstructions in the locking mechanism that might prevent smooth operation. Apply minimal force; the mechanism should operate smoothly.
• Issue: Mount rotates or shifts on the bar.
  Solution: Re-tighten the bar clamp. If the issue persists, ensure you are using the correct size spacers for your bar diameter. Over-tightening can damage the clamp or bar; ensure it is snug but not excessively tight.
