Troubleshooting
Guard is unstable or wobbly.
Ensure the guard is placed on a level surface. If wall-mounted, check that all mounting hardware is securely fastened. Adjust the angle of the panels to increase stability.
Panels are difficult to rotate or adjust.
Check the hinges for any obstructions or debris. Gently clean the hinge points. Ensure the locking mechanism is not fully engaged if attempting to reconfigure.
Locking mechanism does not hold securely.
Ensure the locking pins are fully inserted into their intended slots. If the slots appear worn, contact customer support.
Rust spots appear on the metal.
This is uncommon with powder coating. Clean the area with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply a small amount of heat-resistant paint if necessary to prevent further corrosion.
