Assembly

Unpack your weathervane and check all parts against the contents list. There are various ways you can fit your weathervane with the universal fixing bracket which allows most fixing applications. You should decide if you wish to fit the assembly on a stand off support stem (A below) or on a vertical stem (B below). You will find 3 parts to the stem assembly and these can be used in a variety of ways. The L shape vertical stem 380mm x 100mm and the smaller vertical top stem 280mm can be screwed together to make one long shaft and can be clamped vertically against a post or using the shorter part of the L shape onto an angled position allowing the stem to be fixed into a vertical position. Alternatively using the cranked arm and the short vertical screwed together a stand off position can be achieved.

Having decided the fitting style, assemble your weathervane onto the selected shaft and sliding down onto the joining socket the NSEW cardinal arm and then add the W E arm at right angles ensuring that the cardinal points are at the correct position. The two arms should be at right angles which can then be locked into position by fitting the cross head fitting at this stage it is not necessary to tighten the locking screw.

Taking the 2 part universal mounting bracket, position the back plate and mark the position for the holes for the fixing screws. Taking both parts of the bracket secure the assembly firmly to the mounting. Slide the assembled selected shaft into the bracket assembly and tighten the 2 locating screws ensuring that the complete assembly is upright using a spirit level where possible. If the assembly is not upright the feature head will not operate correctly.

Point the N cardinal arm assembly to the direction of North and then tighten the cross head device to stop the cardinal arms turning on the shaft.

Slide the feature head onto the top of the vertical stem there is a captive ball bearing fitted into the top of the head to aid sensitivity to the wind direction. A small amount of grease applied to the stem will keep the head moving to the direction of the wind.

Your weathervane will benefit from a coat of external paint during its life and it is just perfect to personalise. Please note due to continuous improvement, specifications may vary slightly to those depicted. Also different designs have different attributes.
