Troubleshooting
Extension rods are difficult to connect or disconnect.
Ensure there are no obstructions or debris in the connection sleeves. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary, and ensure you are aligning the locking mechanisms correctly.
Wheels are not rolling smoothly.
Check the wheels for embedded debris like twigs or ice. Clean them thoroughly. If they are loose, check if they can be re-secured according to the product manual.
Rake head seems flimsy when extended.
Verify that all extension rods are securely locked into place. Ensure the maximum recommended extension length is not exceeded, as this can compromise stability.
Rust spots appearing on the aluminum poles.
While the aluminum is rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture and salt can still cause minor surface oxidation. Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and consider applying a light coat of automotive wax for protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To assemble the snow roof rake, connect the desired number of extension rods to the main rake head. Each rod typically features a secure locking mechanism to ensure stability during use. Ensure all connections are firm before applying pressure.
Compatibility: This rake is designed for use on most common roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, metal roofs, and rubber roofing. The integrated wheels are intended to minimize surface contact and prevent damage. It is also suitable for clearing snow from car roofs, carports, and driveways.
Care: After each use, especially after exposure to salt or chemicals from de-icing, wipe down the aluminum poles and the oxford cloth with a damp cloth. Store the rake in a dry place, disassembled if possible, to prevent rust and prolong its lifespan. Periodically check the connection points of the extension rods for wear and tear.
