–
on Unpacking, Pre- & Posterection Handling, and on the Operation
of the Architectural Folding Structure Bahama »Jumbrella«,
»Jumbrella Wave« and »Jumbrella XL«
Edition: 11/2015
[These written instructions to be handed onward to the erector as well as to the regular operator
of the umbrella(s) immediately on delivery of the structure(s), prior to commencing unpacking].
Preliminary Recommendation.
In deciding to select one or several Bahama Jumbrella (incl. Wave or XL) structures you have settled on an outstanding
brand product. The very expenditure for it (them) ought to be reason enough for carefully reading these »General
Instructions« [a copy of it with its title distinctly readable from outside is in a transparent
plastic pocket sticked onto
one (of the two) solid head cover(s) of every umbrella package shipped by the factory] before starting to unpack the
structure(s). To preserve both the functional and the visual i.e. aesthetic value of your investment, utmost care in
unpacking, pre-erection handling, in erecting, posterection handling, and in the operation of the Jumbrella, Jumbrella
Wave or Jumbrella XL is of the essence.
1.
Unpacking and Preparing the Jumbrella for Erection.
For Jumbrella XL: Please refer to the manufacturer’s additional “Instructions on how to unpack an XL on site”, which
is always attached to the opening head cover of the XL’s heavy transport cylinder.
1.1 Recommendation: Put the no less than 4-metre long heavy-duty cardboard cylinder on two normal chairs (w/o
arm-rests) or two trestles set up at an inter-distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
1.2
Open the cylinder packing at the head end where the black & white directional arrow stickers point to. Wholly
remove all of the 5 screws from both head cover and cylinder wall. Take the umbrella accessory package out of
the cylinder end; you’ll need it lateron. Have a help firmly hold the opposite cylinder end as you seize the bottom
end of the major pole to start pulling the structure (without canting it) by up to an estimated 3/4
th
of its length
out of its transport cylinder. Have the help release the non-opening end of the cylinder and, instead, have him
hold the bottom pole end level to enable you to now seize the umbrella corpus in order to further pull it out
and hold so to prevent it from crashing down onto the ground (which, if it happened, would cause unnecessary
damages to it). You may now carefully lay the yet soft-wrapped umbrella corpus back down onto the chairs.
1.3 Store the empty (reusable) transport cylinder, its head cover and its fastening screws in some absolutely dry
place. You might need it again sometime, for either transport or inter-storage of the subwrapped structure.
1.4 Wherever you carefully deposit (never drop) the yet soft-wrapped structure temporarily (prior to erecting it
eventually), on the chairs, or on the ground:
1.41 Don’t remove (yet) its either plastic hose wrapping or reusable protective cover (depending on how it was
ordered)! Leave this ’inner’ soft wrapping on until advised to remove it more below herein.
1.42 To move the yet soft-wrapped umbrella on site (prior to erect it to its vertical position in place): Lift it (by
no less than two persons – in case of the larger models & especially Jumbrella XL by no less than 4 persons)
at a time, and carry it! Never, in whole or in part – e.g. with one end –, move, pull, push, or drag along the
umbrella corpus over the ground nor over/against any other solid object! If this advice is disregarded, or
is not being taken duly serious, visible membrane surface damages will surprise you upon first unfolding.
The Jumbrella XL is to be erected either manually via the footings tipping hinge (pls. mind the axle that
needs to be inserted into the roll bearings!) or by means of a suitable lifting device.
1.43 Whether you deposit the umbrella corpus on the ground, on two chairs, or on any other appropriate
podium or the like, make sure that such base is clear of sharp edges and/or any solid protrusions that might
damage the wrapping and, through and underneath/behind this, the multiple fabric layers of the
membrane wound all about the frame corpus.
