Troubleshooting
Tines are not adjusting smoothly
Ensure the locking mechanism is fully unlocked before attempting adjustment. Clean any debris around the sliding parts of the head mechanism. Apply a small amount of lubricant if needed.
Handle won't lock in place
Check that the handle is extended to its full length or retracted to its minimum length, as some locking mechanisms engage best at the extremes. Ensure the locking mechanism is clean and free from debris.
Visible rust on tines
Light rust can often be removed with a stiff brush or fine steel wool. Clean thoroughly and dry immediately. Apply a light coat of oil to the tines for protection, and store in a dry location.
Rake feels unstable during use
Confirm that both the handle length and the tine width are securely locked in place before and during use. Ensure there is no damage to the locking mechanisms.
