5.2 Using Adjustable Leveling Knobs

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your VINGLI Expandable Garden Fence, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: The durable powder-coated finish requires only occasional cleaning. Wipe down the fence with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Tighten any loose fasteners as needed.
• Caster Care: Keep casters free of debris (dirt, hair, leaves) to ensure smooth rolling. Lubricate caster axles with a silicone-based spray if they become stiff.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, retract the fence to its compact size and store it in a dry, sheltered area to protect it from extreme weather conditions.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your VINGLI Expandable Garden Fence, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Fence is unstable or wobbles:
  • Ensure the fence is on a relatively flat surface.
  • Adjust the leveling knobs on the base until the fence is firm and stable.
  • Check all reinforced connections for tightness.
• Difficulty expanding or retracting:
  • Verify that the casters are unlocked before attempting to move the fence.
  • Check for any obstructions (e.g., dirt, small stones) in the accordion mechanism or around the casters.
  • Ensure the fence is clean and free of excessive dirt buildup.
• Casters are not rolling smoothly:
  • Clean any debris from the caster wheels and axles.
  • Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the caster axles if needed.
