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.

may leak due to environmental challenges. In harsh environments,
inspect the batteries every 3 months
3. When replacing the batteries, apply a corrosion preventive
compound on the battery terminals.
4. In snowy environments, spray the top of the weather station with
anti-icing silicon spray to prevent snow build up.
