IMPORTANT:
To avoid personal injury or damage to the AKZ umbrella, it is important
before you use the tilt feature to make sure the area around you is clear from any outdoor
structure or furniture.
To TILT Canopy:
Make sure canopy is fully OPEN. Position yourself in front of the tilt lever and pull loop lock from
main frame track (Fig. 20). Pull out further to dis-engage tilting gears and reveal gear teeth
(Fig. 21). Move the tilt lever to the left or right, opposite to the desired tilt direction (Fig. 22).
Use the tilt degree scale as a guide
(Fig. 23). Now, push forward slightly to re-engage tilting
gear teeth. Move tilt lever to center position (canopy should be moving also) and snap the
loop lock back into main frame track.

(Fig. 16).
