PICOLLO
WIND GUIDELINES
& WARRANTY
THE PICOLLO IS DESIGNED TO HANDLE LIGHT TO MODERATE
WINDS IN THE FULLY OPENED HORIZONTAL POSITION. IN A
TILTED POSITION, THE CANOPOY WILL CATCH THE WIND AND
THERFORE IS RATED FOR LIGHT WINDS ONLY.
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: PICOLLO
*DO NOT LEAVE THE PICOLLO UNATTENDED WHEN OPEN.
*CANOPY FRAME MUST BE OPENED TO MAXIMUM TENSION
AND KEPT IN THE NON-TILT POSITION 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 PICOLLO
DURING VERY WINDY CONDITIONS.
*DO NOT LEAVE THE CANOPY FRAME CLOSED IF NOT
COMPLETELY DRY.
