Follow the steps below to install your station. At various stages of this installa­tion, you will be advised to test the system to ensure proper functioning.
1. Detach and remove the extension tube from the support tube by cutting the two black cable ties.
2. Attach the anemometer arm to the support tube as shown below. Make sure that the anemometer is positioned over the white field case and NOT over the black rain col­lector cone.
3. Attach the wind cups to the anemometer.
Push the wind cups onto the shaft as far as they will go, then tighten the set screw. The cups should drop slightly and into the ideal position automati­cally. Spin the wind cups. If they do not spin freely, loosen the set screw and lower the cups slightly. Repeat until the wind cups spin freely.
