SIMPLE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

In coastal or metropolitan environments, frequent washing of the
complete unit is very beneficial. Particularly the slider car, slider car
guide tracks, and rotating mechanism.

Should the 16 rotating mechanism stop pin holes become filled with
sand or dust etc., lifting your umbrella up off the spigot by 1” will allow
the dust cover to be lifted and the 16 holes can be cleaned. This will be a
two person operation.

Silicon spray in the slider car wheels will assist operation if required.

Fold the acrylic canvas as mentioned in “Closing the Axis” (Page 8). This
will prolong the new look of the canvas and prevent marking caused by
“pinching” in the alloy frame.

All parts are virtually maintenance free (e.g. aluminum, stainless steel,
etc.) However, it is recommended that if the umbrella is not to be used
for an extended period of time (winter months), to place the umbrella in
storage. You may even remove the spigot when the umbrella is not in
use, as it can be a tripping hazard.
FABRIC CARE
The best way to keep the fabric canopy looking good is to simply brush off dirt
before it becomes embedded in the fabric and wiping off any stain soon after it
occurs. The longer a stain remains on the fabric, the more difficult they can be to
remove.

Spot cleaning of stains using a soft bristle brush or sponge and a cleaning
solution of 1/4 cup mild soap, such as Woolite or Dawn dishwashing
liquid, per gallon of lukewarm water will remove most stains.

Spray the umbrella first with clean water. After cleaning, rinse with
water to remove all traces of soap. If a hose is used, avoid high pressure.
