6. Maintenance

The Yamazaki Tower Magnetic Steel Bar is made of alloy steel with a rust-resistant finish, ensuring durability and easy care.

• Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these may damage the finish.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the bar to prevent accumulation.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the bar and its mounting points for any signs of wear, damage, or loosening. Tighten screws or re-secure pins if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your magnetic steel bar, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Problem: The steel bar feels loose or unstable after installation.
  Solution: Re-check the installation steps. Ensure that the gypsum board pins are fully inserted and secure, or that the wood screws are tightly fastened into a stud. Do not overload the bar beyond its 2 kg weight capacity.
• Problem: Items are not sticking to the magnetic bar.
  Solution: Ensure that the items you are trying to attach are magnetic or have magnets attached to them. The bar itself is magnetic, but items must also be magnetic to adhere.
• Problem: Hooks are sliding or falling off.
  Solution: Ensure the hooks are correctly placed over the top edge of the bar. Avoid hanging excessively heavy items on individual hooks, distributing weight evenly.
