As the rack is powered up with electricity and comprises electrical and motor components, these should not come into direct contact with water elements to ensure safety. The rack should be installed in indoor areas or balconies/semi-outdoor areas that are completely sheltered/have structural provisions in place to shelter the rack from direct rain and/or water elements. In addition, the unit should not be installed at the edge of the balcony. A minimum of 0.55m-0.8m setback from the edges of the balcony is required depending on the balcony and its varying conditions. Video the installation location for our team to assess if you are in doubt.
