260-953 Alter-Type Wind Screen for Tipping Bucket Rain Gages
4. Maintenance
Refer to your tipping bucket rain gage manual for tipping bucket rain gage
maintenance.
Avoid brushing against the wind screen leaves while
servicing the rain gage. Removal of the wind screen while
servicing the rain gage can help avoid injuries caused by
the leaves’ sharp edges. Use leather gloves while
handling the wind screen. CAUTION
Keep weeds, grass, and other plants from growing into and interfering with the
rain gage and wind screen leaves. Remove any debris and dirt that may have
accumulated onto the surfaces of the leaves.
Inspect the wind screen parts for rust, and wire brush rusted areas.
The wind screen components can be spray painted or cold
galvanized to help prevent rust. NOTE
Check the posts and flanges for loose mounting hardware.
