Base Assembly
Select area to set AKZ base and place in desired location.
NOTE:
Moving the umbrella will be
difficult once fully assembled. Remove mounting plate from inverted base stem (Fig. 1).
Remove the inverted base stem by using the steel wrench (provided) turning
counter-clockwise
(Fig. 2), now remove base lid from base shell (Fig. 3). Return
inverted base stem to base shell, to keep sand out of base stem channels. (Fig. 4)
IMPORTANT:
Do not allow sand to spill inside the base stem channels, as it will impede
further installation. Now, fill each section of the base shell with dry playground sand (Fig. 5).
The AKZ base holds up to 250 lbs. of sand. When filling the base, it is necessary to wet
down the sand after partial installation. Continue filling the base with remaining sand after
wet down.
NOTE:
Base weight will be 300 lbs. after sand and water is added. Now, remove
inverted base stem (Fig. 6) from base shell. Place base lid back onto base shell and re-install
the inverted base stem (Fig.
7
).
IMPORTANT: Carefully, as you tighten the inverted
base stem, you will notice clicking/ratcheting sound. Please make sure it is
between CLICKS.
Do not over tighten inverted base stem or parts may be
damaged.
Re-install the mounting plate by tightening with 4 plate bolts (Fig. 8 and 9).
