Troubleshooting

Anchor feels loose after installation

Re-tighten the M10 expandable bolts. Ensure the concrete base is solid and free from cracks. If the issue persists, the concrete may not be adequate, and professional advice may be needed.

Difficulty inserting chain/lock

Ensure the chain shackle and lock are within the compatible size range for the anchor's aperture. Check for any debris inside the anchor loop.

Rusting on outdoor anchor

Clean the affected area with a wire brush and apply a rust inhibitor or metal paint suitable for outdoor use. Check fixings for tightness.
