MAINTAINING THE JARDINICO FRAME AND FITTINGS
1. Hose mast and frame with water periodically, more often if installation is in a salty or
industrial environment.
2. Inspect the installation fittings, mount bolts, rib spacers, etc. on a regular basis and
tighten if necessary.
3. Seaside and indoor pool use: Due to demands of both of these environments, Jardinico
recommends weekly or biweekly cleaning with mild soap and water to remove the
concentrated deposits and protect the powder coat finish.
MAINTAINING THE JARDINICO CANOPY FABRIC
1. Clean up spills and stains right away. Spills can be removed by using a clean absorbent
cloth.
2. For general maintenance, use a soft brush to remove dust and dry soil. Wash down with
clean, warm water (i.e., garden hose) every so often to avoid dirt becoming ingrained.
Allow the fabric to air dry before closing the canopy.
3. If a thorough cleaning is necessary, sponge over the fabric using a mild soap solution
(2% solution). Rinse well with plenty of water to remove all soap residue.
4. Never use detergents, cleaning fluids or solvents.
5. Please visit the fabric websites for more details: www.jardinicousa.com or
www.sunbrella.com
6. Use protective canopy cover during storage or when not in use.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. Jardinico highly recommends that no umbrella, regardless of size or weight, ever be left
unattended in the open position. In windy conditions, it is further recommended that
umbrellas be closed, removed from their base, and stored, or laid horizontally. This will
reduce the risk of damage to your umbrella, furniture, and other belongings or property.
To ensure stability of your umbrella, please observe proper placement, and use sufficient
weight (base) but this can vary, depending on the conditions in your particular area.
2. NOTE: Wind damage (or any damage caused by acts of nature) is not covered under
warranty.
3. Compatible base or mount kit must be used to secure umbrellas at all times.
