Troubleshooting
Clamp not gripping the profile securely
Ensure the profile width matches the clamp's compatibility (40mm, 50mm, or 50.8mm). Tighten the RHINOGRIP thumbscrew as firmly as possible. Check the clamp jaws for any debris that might be preventing a full grip.
Difficulty sliding the clamp onto the profile
Check for any dirt, mud, or damage on the profile or inside the clamp jaws. Clean both surfaces thoroughly. Ensure you are using the correct size profile for the clamp.
Rust spots appearing on the clamp
While zinc plating provides excellent corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause surface rust. Clean the rust with a wire brush and a light oil. Store the clamp in a dry environment when not in use.
