UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2023

Keep your rack clean and in good working order by simply using water and soap, nothing more. All metals corrode no matter what treatment they have, so the more you keep them clean, the better they will operate and last.

It works just fine to spray the rack off at the car wash.

Road salts are very corrosive, so you must be proactive with your rack to keep it in good condition.

NOTE: Do NOT use any lubricant as it will collect dirt and prevent the necessary friction to keep the rack arm(s) locked in place

UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2023

Some squeaking is normal, so no need to think that there is an issue with the rack. Do NOT use any lubricant as it will collect dirt and prevent the necessary friction to keep the rack arm locked in place. When operating the rack arm, squeaking can be minimized by lifting the red lever parallel with the silver bar as shown below. Also, be sure to periodically wash your rack with soap and water (you can spray it at the car wash) to keep it functioning correctly.

UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2023

The red easy-access pivot trigger is on the end of the rack and each Add-On, so it is always easy to find and use. This feature allows you to pivot the rack into four different positions – vertical storage position, 45-degree, the horizontal standard carry position, and hatch access.

It may seem that the pivot trigger is too tight and too hard to move. It is intentionally made this way. It helps to jiggle the rack back and forth and up and down to get it to release.

After moving the rack between positions, ensure the red pivot trigger is flush with the two cross bars and not sticking up higher than them (this is true for the vertical position and for standard carry position). Again, you can jiggle the rack around to help get the red pivot trigger to drop into its home position. It’s a good idea to get in the habit of running your hand or thumb over the pivot trigger after you tilt your rack to check that it is flush with the two cross bars.

Ensuring that the red pivot trigger is in its home position will in turn ensure that the release bar (circled in yellow below) is reseated and safe to travel with. The release bar should not be left as it is seen in the illustration below.

See section 4.0 – Usage in the manual – HERE

UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2023

Loosen and retighten the tire spools so that they are aligned/evenly positioned on each arm.

Uneven spacing can make the arms appear to “bend” and looked crooked.

Also, you might have to turn the carriage bolt a 1/4 turn either way to make sure the gold lever is tight and against the bar as shown in the picture.

UPDATED OCTOBER 2024

We approve usage of the Mach2 bike rack on RVs, 5th Wheels, Class C RVs, and travel trailers. However, there is a two-bike maximum (up to 120 pounds per bike) and you can only do this with the 2″ hitch version of the rack (not the 1.25″).

It needs to be inserted into a chassis-mounted hitch receiver (not a bumper mount).

Also, do not use extenders, adapters, swing away arms, or bike covers. This will void the warranty.

UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2023

The Mach2 is approved for general Off Road use.

This being said, proper caution is always required. We call this common sense coverage.

Drive slowly and carefully in all off-road situations. If you are driving too fast and hit a big bump that causes damage to your rack or vehicle, that is not covered under warranty. If you are using the rack on demanding 4×4 terrain and drop off a ledge and bash the rack, this is not covered by warranty.
