Troubleshooting
Support slips or does not hold position
Ensure the stepless adjustment mechanism is fully locked into place. Check that the vehicle's mounting points are clean and free from obstructions. Verify that the load does not exceed the 150kg maximum.
Rubber end protectors damaged
Inspect for tears or significant wear. If damaged, the support should not be used until protectors are replaced or repaired to avoid scratching vehicle surfaces.
Adjustment mechanism is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the adjustable sections to remove any dirt or debris. Lightly lubricate the sliding parts if necessary, using a silicone-based lubricant suitable for metal. Avoid over-lubrication.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Position the support between a solid point on the vehicle body and the bonnet or tailgate. Adjust the stepless mechanism by extending or retracting the support to the desired length, ensuring a snug fit without over-stressing the connection points. Always ensure the rubber end protectors are fully engaged.
Compatibility: The support is designed for use on most vehicles with bonnets or tailgates that can accommodate its adjustment range (460-1180mm) and have suitable structural points for secure placement.
Care: Regularly inspect the support for any signs of wear or damage, particularly to the rubber end protectors and the adjustment mechanism. Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust and corrosion.
