Troubleshooting

Windmill not spinning

Ensure the windmill is exposed to adequate wind. Check if any part of the foil is caught or bent, preventing free rotation. Try holding it higher or in a more open area.

Foil is creased or torn

Minor creases may not significantly impact spinning, but tears can affect performance and appearance. Handle with care during use and storage. If significantly damaged, replacement may be necessary.

Handle feels loose

If the handle feels unstable, ensure it is securely attached to the windmill mechanism. Avoid applying excessive force when spinning.
