IMPORTANT:
(If cantilever arm does not fully extend, cord maybe coiled too tightly).
Two persons are needed for the following action. While the first person slowly lifts the
cantilever up, the second person turns the crank handle counter-clockwise, releasing
more cord to allow the cantilever arm to raise until spring locks into place.
• When not in use, close and cover umbrella with a protective cover (not included).
• Allow a wet canopy to dry while in open position, but do not leave unattended.
• If necessary, clean the fabric with lukewarm water, mild detergent, and a sponge.
• Wipe sliding marks on the aluminum poles with a damp cloth.
Winter Storage:
• Store in a dry place.
After the Winter:
• Check the condition and function of the umbrella. Any defects must be repaired by a
professional.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Close and store the umbrella in windy conditions or when a storm approaches.
Never allow the umbrella to flap in the wind; this could damage the canopy.
• 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) or item(s) are close to the
umbrella. This is important to prevent injury or material damage.
TO PROPERLY FOLD CANOPY:
The 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 umbrella has been fully closed, stand in front of the canopy
structure and begin the folding process by pulling out two panels
opposite the cantilever pole. Pull the two panels together and roll tight
into the canopy.
• 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.
• Tie string around canopy and cover umbrella with protective cover
(sold separately).
