7. Troubleshooting
Common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Handrail feels wobbly | Loose mounting bolts or inadequate anchors. | Check and tighten all mounting bolts. If wobbling persists, consider using stronger anchors suitable for your mounting surface. |
| Rust spots appear | Damage to the powder coating exposing bare metal. | Clean the rusted area, lightly sand if necessary, and apply a rust-inhibiting outdoor metal paint. |
| Difficulty adjusting angle | Adjustment bolts are too tight or mechanism is stiff. | Loosen adjustment bolts slightly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the adjustment points if stiffness persists. |
