Troubleshooting
Dryer is unstable or wobbly
Ensure the ground spike or socket is fully and securely installed into the ground. Check that the pole is firmly seated in its base. If on uneven ground, try to level the base or choose a more stable spot.
Height adjustment is difficult
Ensure the mechanism is clear of debris. Try gently rocking the pole while adjusting. Consult the specific instructions for the height adjustment mechanism if provided separately.
Washing lines seem slack or uneven
Most rotary dryers have lines that are tensioned when the arms are extended. If lines appear excessively slack, check that the arms are fully extended and locked into place. Some lines may have individual tensioning mechanisms, though this is less common.
Rust spots appearing on the frame
The frame is painted for durability. Minor rust spots may indicate a chip in the paint. Clean the area gently with a wire brush, dry thoroughly, and apply a suitable metal paint or rust inhibitor to protect the steel.
