WIND GUIDELINES
& WARRANTY
THE PENDULUM IS DESIGNED TO HANDLE MODERATE TO
MODERATELY STRONG WINDS IN THE FULLY OPEN
POSITION.
AS WITH ALL UMBRELLAS, USE COMMON SENSE AND LOWER
CANOPY AS WINDS INCREASE. NOTE THAT WIND IS NEVER
A CONSTANT FORCE AND WIND GUSTS CAN BE TWICE THE
AVERAGE WIND SPEED, THEREFORE IT IS RECOMMENDED TO
ALWAYS COLLAPSE THE CANOPY AND STRAP IT WHEN
UNATTENDED.
CANOPIES MUST BE CLOSED IN THE EVENT OF HEAVY RAIN,
THUNDERSTORMS, HAIL OR ANY SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
DAMAGE DUE TO WIND, ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS OR
IMPROPER USE IS EXPLICITLY EXCLUDED FROM THE ONE-YEAR
DEFECTIVE PARTS WARRANTY COVERAGE.
BASIC GUIDELINES: PENDULUM
*DO NOT LEAVE THE PENDULUM UNATTENDED WHEN OPEN.
*CANOPY FRAME MUST BE OPENED TO MAXIMUM TENSION
TO
ENSURE OPTIMUM STABILITY IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS.
*AS WINDS INCREASE, COMPLETELY LOWER THE CANOPY FRAME
AND USE THE TIE DOWNS TO SECURE THE FRAME PRIOR TO
COVERING WITH THE PROTECTIVE COVER.
*ASK FOR ASSISTANCE WHEN CLOSING THE PENDULUM DURING
VERY WINDY CONDITIONS.

DRY.
