Maintenance
1. Clean the rain gauge once every 3 months. Rotate the funnel
counter-clockwise and lift to expose the rain gauge mechanism, and clean
with a damp cloth. Remove any dirt, debris and insects. If bug infestation is
an issue, spray the array lightly with insecticide.
2. Clean the solar panel every 3 months with damp cloth.
3. Replace batteries every 1-2 years. If left in too long, the batteries may leak
due to environmental challenges. In harsh environments, inspect the
batteries every 3 months (when cleaning the solar panel).
4. When replacing the batteries, apply a corrosion preventive compound on
the battery terminals, available at most hardware stores.
5. In snowy environments, spray the top of the weather station with anti-icing
silicon spray to prevent snow build up.
