I didn't have any problems mounting it, but I used an older clamp I had in the garage. You might check with the Polaris dealer or look at www.rockymountainmc.com for a clamp that will hold the mirror.

Simply bend the clamp to get it around the rops and bend it closed enough to get the bolt in the hole. Then tighten clamp as needed. These clamps are a very common way to attach various accessories without the need to drill.

We took the top off (takes two people) and then clamped the mirrors in the proper places--a side mirror for both sides and a rear view. Then with two people, place the top back on. (Disappointed in the passenger side mirror- does not stay in place, but driver side and rear view are awesome!)

I just used a regular box end open end wrench to put it on , and tighten it up . That's the way I have been doing this since I was a kid . When I changed pedals on my BMX , and Freestyle bikes they always stayed tight . I hope this helps you .

For me I just set the rounded depression on the bottom of the light on the handle bar. I took the smaller rubber band and wrapped it over the front groove of the mount, then stretched it under the bar and over the groove on the back of the mount. The tension in the rubber band held it tightly in place. Please tell me what is happening for you and I will try to help.

I'm surprised no one has actually figured this out yet and written this tip to help others figure out the tilt. You know how you pull on the handle to make the chair go up and down (the pneumatic lift)? Well, you just have to pull that bar out for tilt, and push it in for lock position. The knob is only for tension. Pull out the bar!

The brake lever clamp is hinged so it does not have to slide on, just open the clamp and put it where you want, insert the screw and tighten it. You may have to remove some tape where the clamp fits to the bar.

On occasion I will have a problem getting mine to twist to unlock. I have not found a sure fire trick that will unlock it but find it is easier if I do not screw on the foam piece first and did use pliers to get a better grip when I just could not get it to turn. After the first time it happened and I didn't think I would ever get it unlocked now when putting it away I turn it just enough to catch the lock. If you can't get it open send it back as defective and get a replacement.

Don't give up. Remember, wear some gloves and put a sticker or tape near the part that goes in so you know that you are twisting. Rather than twisting and pushing in. You have to build a lot of tension but it's all worth it because this was the only rod that didn't fall down on me.

I had this problem in the beginning when i first got mine. All of the parts twist and the black thing inside... sorry i don't know what it is called but that could be a little difficult to get out it took me a little bit the first couple of times. Try twisting until it fully comes off. I think you twist to the right to get the parts off and to the left to lock them but not 100%.

I push down on the plastic piece and it seems to come loose and pop loose. They dont tell you what to do ...I hope i am doing the right thing. I do love it though. This is the second one that i have had. The last wasdifferent. I am sure you will like it.

I also would like to know how to set the lever. It feels pretty much the same to me and I have not been able to find any documentation on the setting. I see reviews that say they set it in one mode or the other. Could one of them reply to this post?

Notice the hex cap in the middle. that is a small wrench to adjust tension on the leg locking devises. I had one leg that was still a little loose and that wrench fixed it up just fine. Just pull it off the leg to use it. It has the added advantage of probably breaking if you try to over tighten the nut. I did have a problem with the swivel head. The portrait/landscape swivel bracket's knob to lock it tight allowed to still wiggle slightly no matter how hard the knob was tightened down. Talked to Lee at customer service and he sent me a new head immediately. Didn't even ask for the old head back. Excellent response, but I haven't received it yet to see if it had the same problem or not. It looks like a good product for the price but I wouldn't want to carry it very far. Good luck with it, Dan

I would make sure that nut fully engages/sits on the lid properly when you slide it on the can. Also the first time it was a little ruff to get going as using it without a clamp style handle and the fact that it splits the lid open was a little weird to get used to; but it works fine for me and no problems turning it after that first can open, love it. When you turn it clock wise the splitter latches to the lid then counter clockwise unlocks the can opener. hope this helps sort it out, it really is a great can opener and can just take some getting used to. If not you might have gotten one that has a turning problem hope that isn't the case, if it is I'm sure they will exchange it.

Loosen the lock nut. Put the spacer in and clamp down the tool and then adjust until it is just barely touching. The instructions are pretty clear that come with the tool. I have only done it once and it worked great. Here is a hint though - if you are getting bad cinches, make sure the ss clamps are clean so that they slide smoothly. Even a little dirt in there will cause them to bind and then you will not get a good connection.

I had the same problem, but after a few trys I stretched it full out and it worked, then I had a problem hooking it to the rails as they were wider, I found if you tip the plastic to the outside it will jiggle in place. I have enjoyed using them.

It took me a while to figure that out because you have to push it in to lock it and pull it out to unlock it The reason it took a bit was I thought I had it in place but didn't. I had to rock it back and forth slightly while pushing in before I found the correct position to lock it by pushing in. In regard to the tension knob, that took a little effort because it wouldn't allow me to adjust it either at first because it was tight by default from the factory. Because it's plastic, it's going to move if enough pressure is applied. Why it's so tight from the factory I can only guess is because it's assembled by machine. Until you can get it to rock, you may not be able to lock it in place.

The devise moves up toward the slide when you push up to lock the slide. The only issue I can foresee is will your thumb be able to contact the slide release/lock with a thicker grip. For me, I would modify the grip before I would give up the lock, it make locking and releasing the slide much more reliable, especially doing malfunction drills.

I found that you have to have the slide tight up agents the wood or it won't clamp. I know what you mean. The slide leave marks on the rod and makes it hard sometimes to get it to clamp. The rod should be a harder metal.
