Troubleshooting
Pod feels unstable
Ensure all Lok Down Cams are fully tightened on the legs and central bar. Use the pod securing straps and ensure legs are firmly planted on the ground, adjusting angles as needed.
Legs won't lock in position
Check the Lok Down Cam mechanism for any debris or damage. Ensure the cam lever is fully engaged and tightened securely. Clean the cam track if necessary.
Buzz bars are loose
Verify that the buzz bars are correctly inserted into their mounting points and that any locking mechanisms or screws are tightened.
Carry bag zipper is stiff
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of lubricant (like silicone spray) if needed. Avoid forcing the zipper.
