Troubleshooting
Weathervane is stiff or does not spin freely.
Ensure the mounting is not too tight, allowing the weathervane to pivot. Check for any obstructions or debris around the pivot point and clear them.
Weathervane seems loose or wobbly.
Tighten the mounting hardware or secure the base more firmly to its support. Ensure the post or structure it's mounted on is stable.
The black finish appears to be fading or rusting.
This can happen over extended periods in harsh weather. Clean the affected area and apply a suitable black metal paint or protective coating to prevent further corrosion.
Weathervane does not accurately indicate wind direction.
Verify that the weathervane is installed in an open area, free from wind obstructions. Ensure the arrow or directional indicator is properly attached and oriented.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Mounting: Securely attach the weathervane to a stable post, pole, or structure. Due to its weight (approx. 3kg), ensure the mounting point is robust. A dedicated weathervane mounting bracket or a sturdy fence post is recommended. The base of the weathervane typically includes a spike or a plate for attachment.
