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.

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

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.

As far as the trigger bar¹⁰  goes, and the rack tilting down, it is made to be very tight. So yes, the spring helps, but it does not set the release bar (11) in place. You must wiggle the rack up and down and push the trigger in to completely seat the release bar (11)

See section 4.0 – Usage in the manual – HERE

1- When moving rack between positions, ensure the release bar¹¹ is seated so that the trigger bar¹⁰ is flush with two cross bars^{12 /13} for vertical position and for standard carry position (Figure 14).

2- You MUST wiggle the rack up and down, and push the trigger bar¹⁰ in to fully seat the release bar¹¹.

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.

We approve usage for a two-bike maximum configuration with only the 2 in. hitch model on an RV or 5th Wheel.

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

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.
