Troubleshooting
Dryer arms are difficult to open or close
Ensure the central mechanism is clear of debris. Check that the lines are not tangled and that the Velcro strap is undone. Apply gentle, consistent pressure.
Dryer feels unstable in the ground socket
The ground socket may not be installed deeply or firmly enough. Re-install the socket, ensuring it is completely buried and the ground is compacted around it.
Velcro strap not holding arms closed
Clean the Velcro strap of any lint or dirt. Ensure the arms are fully retracted and aligned before fastening the strap.
Lines appear slack
The lines may need re-tensioning, which is often a feature of more advanced models. For this model, ensure the arms are fully extended and the structure is stable, which should naturally tauten the lines.
