wind direction indicator blocked/sticking

It refers to the device fitted to the tower that monitors the direction of the wind (like a weather vane on a church tower...), and the text is explaining that an alarm will be triggered if the monitored wind direction does not change within a certain time period, as this probably means the vane has been blocked, got stuck, needs lubricating, or whatever.
