IMPORTANT
W I N D R E S I S T A N C E G U I D E L I N E S :
Moderate Wind
When installed properly using a mount kit, the umbrella is engineered to handle
moderate wind conditions in the open canopy position. Please adhere to these wind
guidelines:
1. As winds get stronger or, in anticipation of uncertain/severe weather
conditions, the canopy should be lowered to the folded and strapped position.
2. The Orion should always be left in the folded and strapped position when
unattended or not in use.
3. In anticipation of, and during extremely severe weather conditions, it is
advisable to remove and store the entire umbrella structure to protect it from
storm-related debris.
NOTE:
Wind resistance should only be used as a guideline. Wind is not covered by
warranty. See page 14 for more information.
MAINTAINING FRAME & FITTINGS
• Hose frame with water periodically, more often if installation is in a salty or
industrial environment.
• Inspect the installation fitting, mount bolts, rib spacers, etc. on a regular
basis and tighten if necessary.
MAINTAINING CANOPY FABRIC
• Clean up spills and stains right away. Spills can be removed by using a clean
absorbent cloth.
• 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.
• 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.
• Never use detergents, cleaning fluids or solvents. Grease and oil stains may
be removed by using turpentine or similar with an absorbent cloth.
• Please visit the fabric websites for more details: www.sunbrella.com,
www.obravia.com, or www.outdura.com
• Use protective canopy cover during storage or when not in use.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Depending on your installation, you will have purchased a mount kit or free-standing
base at the time of your order. For free-standing base applications, it is imperative
to purchase the appropriate base for your umbrella. The minimum base weight
required for each size is:
• ORI-30 is 300 lbs.
• ORI-30S is 350 lbs.
• ORI-40 is 500 lbs.
NOTE:
If using a free-standing base, wind guidelines change to light winds only.
Using a Shademaker mount kit is always the preferred method of securing your
umbrella above all other methods. We recommend a licensed contractor to secure
your Shademaker umbrellas.
NOTE: REFER TO SEPARATE MANUAL FOR
MOUNT KIT/BASE ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO PROCEEDING.
SAFETY AND PRECAUCTIONS
• To reduce risk of personal injury in which a person is injured or harmed, and/or
damage to personal property, read and follow the Owner’s Manual prior to
assembling and operating umbrella and base.
• Close and store the umbrella in windy conditions or when a storm approaches.
Never allow the umbrella to flap in the wind; this could cause personal injury,
damage to personal property, damage to umbrella and/or umbrella canopy.
• Keep umbrella secured to umbrella base at all times.
• Do not leave open umbrella unattended. If damage occurs, this is not covered
by the warranty.
• When adjusting the umbrella, make sure that no person(s), item(s) or personal
property are close to the umbrella. This is important to prevent injury or
material damage.
• Do not allow children to play on or with umbrella or umbrella base.
• When adjusting or assembling the umbrella or umbrella base, make sure fingers,
toes or any other parts of the body are clear from moving parts. Failing to do
so many result in serious injury.
• Sufficient base weight must be used to secure umbrellas at all times. Please

weight for free-standing applications. Using a Shademaker mount kit is always
the preferred method of securing your umbrella above all other methods. We
recommend a licensed contractor to secure your Shademaker umbrellas.
