Rule 1: To Unfold & tension the Jumbrella, always start with the RIGHT-hand tension latch (refer to
3.8), not vice versa!
Rule 2: Particularly when unfolding & tensioning the factory-new Jumbrella for the very first time, you’ll
perceive that tensioning particularly the right-hand latch requires a surprisingly high effort. If,
on first-time unfolding, the structure has been kept OPEN & continuously exposed to
weathering for 8-10 days, the initially observed, apparently high amount of manual force will
be distinctly lower as you unfold the Jumbrella a second time. This phenomenon is due to the
fact that the ”residual stretching” potential, that is inherent in the new fabric material as well
as in the entire membrane made of it, works out only under the combined conditions of
maintained overall tension on one and permanent weathering influence on the textile material
on the other hand. –
3.9 Reinsert cylinder locks into their ports in the tension latches, lock them up, and pull keys off.
3.10 Within its footing component type-related radial adjustment range of approx. 22.5°, turn the Jumbrella about
its centre axis to align its relevant canopy edgeline concerned (arm end to neighbouring arm end with
round/octagonal, diagonal-arm end to next diagonal-arm end with square and/or rectangular models) strictly
parallel to the respective counter-edgeline of an already installed Jumbrella adjacent to yours particularly when
adjusting SQUARE and RECTANGULAR canopy structures in ”additive plan configurations” (in row, across, or
”big square”), or to the frontline of e.g. any nearby building, wall, hedge, or the like. As the desired ideal canopy
edgeline position has been found, secure it by tightening at least one of the major screw-bolts (major pole fixed
to In-Ground Sleeve, Portable Foot or On-Deck Base). Done this, recheck ideal edgeline position maintained still
so that readjustment/recorrection not required. If not, unscrew again, and repeat the aligning and tightening
procedure.
Rule 3: Precision adjustment (alignment) of the relevant canopy edgeline easier done by manually
controlling the Jumbrella
at one of its extreme rib ends (rather than at the major pole).
3.11 Firmly tigthen all of the remaining major screw bolts of the footing component (varying relative to the selected
type of footing device).
3.12 Reinsert the cylinder lock into its port either in locking ring (of Universal In-Ground Sleeves), or in locking block
(of 3-piece Universal In-Ground Bases with tipping hinge, Portable Universal Foot and Octagonal On-Deck Base
as well), lock it up, and pull the the key off. This is to prevent the Jumbrella from being dismantled & removed
from its footing (by unauthorized hands). The Jumbrella XL, however, is an exception: Due to its considerably
high dead weight, such theft-prevention device is not necessarily required. The XL Locking Block is nevertheless
available as optional accessory.

Detensioning, (Re-) Folding & Securing the Jumbrella
4.1 Unlock and take both Bahama cylinder locks out of the tension latches.
4.2 First turn up to detension & disengage (spring clip) the left-hand tension latch: The canopy (membrane) relaxes
partly. Then turn up to detension & disengage (spring clip) the right-hand tension latch: The canopy
(membrane) relaxes wholly, and the carriage slides down slightly (by a couple of cms).
Rule 4: To detension & (re-) fold the Jumbrella: Always start with the LEFT-hand tension latch, not
vice versa
!
4.3 Still from your operator position in front of major pole: Use both hands to slide the carriage further down (on
major pole) by approx. 40 to 50 cm. The canopy stays put in this intermediate configuration. Make sure the left-
hand latch is in a partly spread position (some 25-30° off vertical), – right-hand latch turned down wholly (non-
observance of necessary spread position of the left-hand latch may damage or even destroy its [closed-
configuration] blocking device – exception to this: the Jumbrella XL models!).
