• Close the umbrella in windy conditions or when a storm approaches.
Never allow the umbrella to flap in the wind; this could damage the canopy.
• Do not leave open umbrella unattended. If damage occurs, this is not covered
by the warranty.
• When adjusting the umbrella, make sure that no person(s) or item(s) are close to the
umbrella. This is important to prevent injury or material damage.
C A R E A N D M A I N T E N A N C E :
• When not in use, close and cover umbrella with a protective cover (included).
• Allow a wet canopy to dry in open position.
• If necessary, clean the fabric with lukewarm water, mild detergent and a sponge.
• Wipe sliding marks on the aluminum poles with a damp cloth.
Winter Storage:
• Store in a dry, protected place.
• Any visible defects must be repaired by a professional.
After the Winter:
• Areas subject to turning and sliding can be treated with a non-staining lubricant spray
(silicone-based).
• Check the condition and function of the umbrella. Any defects must be repaired by a
professional.
CAUTION:
Fully assembled, the AG78/AG78SQ umbrella weighs
over 300 lbs.
Moving the umbrella fully assembled will increase the risk of damage to your umbrella
and can cause serious injury.
We recommend a two-person team to assemble or
disassemble the umbrella.
