Issolvi l-problemi

Problem: The rod keeps falling down.

Soluzzjoni: Ensure the rod is extended sufficiently to create strong tension. It should be 1 to 2 inches longer than the opening. The rubber pads must be clean and dry for optimal grip. If the surface is very smooth or slick, consider the optional screw-mount installation for added security.

Problem: The rod leaves black marks on the wall.

Soluzzjoni: This can occur if the rubber pads are rubbing against certain painted or delicate surfaces. Try cleaning the rubber pads and the wall surface. If the issue persists, consider placing a small, clear protective film or pad between the rubber end and the wall to prevent direct contact.

Problem: The rod does not hold the advertised weight.

Soluzzjoni: Verify that the rod is installed with adequate tension. For loads exceeding 20 pounds or for maximum stability, utilize the optional screw-mount installation as described in the Setup section. Ensure the weight is distributed evenly along the rod.
