Troubleshooting
Clamp does not secure firmly to the profile.
Ensure the correct profile size (40mm, 50mm, or 50.8mm) is being used and that the profile is straight and undamaged. Tighten the RHINOGRIP thumbscrew firmly.
Difficulty inserting clamp into bed joint.
Verify the wall thickness is 215mm. Ensure the bed joint is adequately formed and free of large obstructions. The clamp is designed for standard bricklaying practices.
Corrosion observed on the clamp.
Although zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause surface rust. Clean the clamp thoroughly and store in a dry environment. For minor rust, a wire brush can be used followed by a light oiling.
