What is included with the weathervane?

Troubleshooting
Weathervane is not spinning freely.
Ensure there are no obstructions around the weathervane's rotating point. Check that it is securely attached to its mount but not overtightened.
Wind direction is not accurate.
Verify that the NSEW cardinal points are correctly aligned. Ensure the weathervane is mounted in an open area, free from buildings or trees that might obstruct wind flow.
Rust or corrosion appearing.
While the powder coat is protective, prolonged exposure in harsh environments might eventually cause minor surface rust. Clean the affected area gently and consider applying a clear exterior sealant for added protection.
