Maintenance Tips 

1. Regular Cleaning: Clean the hitch rack regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using high-pressure water, as it can force moisture into sensitive areas. Ensure the rack is free from dirt, road salt, or debris, especially after riding in muddy or wet conditions.

2. Check for Loose Parts: Periodically check the hitch rack for any loose bolts, screws, or parts. Tighten any connections to ensure the bike stays securely attached during transport. Inspect the hitch connection to ensure it's properly secured to the vehicle.

3. Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply a small amount of lubricant to any moving parts, such as the foldable arms or hinges, to prevent rusting and ensure smooth operation. Wipe off excess lubricant to avoid attracting dirt.

4. Avoid Overloading: Be sure to follow the weight limit specified by the manufacturer. Overloading the rack can strain its components and potentially damage the bike or the rack itself.

5. Protect the Bike: If the rack holds multiple bikes, ensure that the bikes are securely fastened to avoid any damage during transportation. Use bike straps and padding to protect your bike's frame and components, especially the fat tires, which can be bulkier.

6. Store Properly: When not in use, store the hitch rack in a dry, cool place. If it's a foldable model, ensure it's properly folded to save space. Avoid leaving the rack exposed to harsh weather conditions for extended periods.

7. Check Hitch Pin and Lock: If your hitch rack uses a pin or lock mechanism to secure it to the vehicle, regularly inspect these components to make sure they are functioning correctly and have not rusted or become worn over time.

8. Inspect Tires and Straps: Check the straps that secure the bikes to the rack. Ensure they are not frayed or damaged, and replace them if needed. Also, inspect the rack's tire cradles or trays for any cracks or wear that may affect the bike's stability.
