Troubleshooting

Spike is difficult to screw into the ground.

Use the turn rod to apply leverage. For very hard ground, pre-drill a pilot hole.

Pole does not fit securely.

Ensure the pole diameter is within the 2.5cm to 5.5cm range. Check for any obstructions or debris in the spike.

Spike feels unstable.

Ensure the spike is fully screwed into the ground. Check the ground conditions; very loose soil may require a different anchoring method.
