Troubleshooting:
•My computer hits the front stem cap when I install/remove it from the mount.
oCheck the position of the mount and adjust as needed.
•My computer (Forerunner® 910XT) hits the arm of the K13-505.
oContact K-Edge for a spacer to properly space your 910XT.
•There is a little play even whenmy computer is installed onto the mount with a positive click.
oWith the computer installed, visually check for movement of the K13-503 from the openings underneath the
mount. If movement is detected slightly increase the torque of the 2x M3 x 6mm Flat Head Screws (1 N-m
Max).
•The mount moves downward when I install my computer.
oCheck that the proper amount of torque is applied to the 2x M4 x 12mm bolts on the clamp.
