CLOSE THE UMBRELLA
· Bring canopy to 0° (horizontal) tilt position.
· Insert crank handle in “close / open” socket.
· Turn adjustment knob counter clockwise and begin cranking handle counter
clockwise.
· Canopy will close and umbrella will slide down mast simultaneously by
operating the crank handle.
Note: stop turning crank when umbrella is fully
closed.
Doing so may cause damage to umbrella.
· Turn adjustment knob clockwise to secure umbrella in place.
FOLD CANOPY
The 100% solution dyed canopy will last longer if you fold it as it was packed
and shipped. This technique is similar to the way a parachute is folded and is
especially important when folding the canopy for seasonal storage or when left in
the closed position for an extended period of time.
Using this technique at all times will significantly extend the life of the canopy.
· When the canopy has been fully lowered, stand in front of the canopy structure
and begin the folding process by pulling out two panels opposite the mast.
· Once rolled tight, pull adjacent panels out one at a time and fold to the center,
alternating sides until all the panels have been pulled out from the arms and
folded into the center.
· Wrap provided strap around canopy to secure.
· When not in use, cover umbrella with provided protective cover.
Slide internal mast stem cover over internal stem.
