Troubleshooting

Post does not fit snugly into the connector.

Verify that the wooden post is exactly 70 x 70 mm. If the post is slightly undersized, consider shimming it before screwing. If oversized, it will not fit. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connector's interior.

Connector feels loose after installation.

Ensure you have used adequate screws of the correct length and type for your wood. Check that all pre-drilled holes have been utilized for fastening. Tighten all screws firmly.

Visible signs of corrosion or paint chipping.

While the powder coating is durable, harsh impacts can cause damage. Minor chips can be touched up with a suitable anthracite-colored metal paint. Significant corrosion may indicate the product has been compromised and replacement might be necessary.
