ASSEMBLY & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CARE & MAINTENANCE

TUUCI frames are constructed from durable, marine-grade, weather resistant materials including: 
fiberglass, armor-wall aluminum, Dura-TEAK™ composites, Aluma-TEAK™ aluminum and sustainable 
hardwood. All fasteners (nuts, bolts, pulleys, cam cleats, etc.) are marine-grade stainless steel and will 
withstand the most corrosive environments. 
Proper care and maintenance is important to extend the serviceable life of all TUUCI products. 
We recommend the following:

 

• Rinse the frame with fresh water once a week

 

• Weekly inspection of your TUUCI product is recommended. Loose screws should be tightened and any

 

   broken components replaced immediately to avoid further damage to your product.

 

• Prior to opening, ensure that the shade product is properly secured to an adequate shade anchor system.

 

• When opening a TUUCI parasol, separate each rib 10 inches from the center post before raising the hub.

 

   Do not force hub if it does not rise easily.

 

• When closing the parasol, pull the fabric out from between the struts to avoid pinching or damaging the

    

   TUFF-SKIN canopy membrane.

 

• TUUCI recommends that all collapsible shade equipment be closed in wind conditions that exceed 25 MPH.

 

• Clean above-ground parasol bases regularly to maintain appearance. Gently wash with soap and  water 

                         using a nonabrasive cloth or pad.

 

• Check bolts in security stem regularly to ensure that they remain fully tightened. 

 

• Do not roll aluma-crete (Aluminum Shell, Concrete Filled) bases on their side as damage to shell

 

   or finish can occur.

 

• Do not use on stairways or over distances which exceed 50 feet, as damage to welded wheel tray may occur.

 

• Canopy should be cleaned regularly and can be cleaned without being removed from the frame. Hose down 

 

   and clean with a mild soap and lukewarm water (no more than 100° F) using a soft bristle brush. Rinse thor

 

   oughly to remove soap. Allow fabric to air dry. TUUCI parts can be purchased at [email protected].

                 • Do not use a pressure washer to clean canopes.
