1. Remove the protective cover by unzipping
from the front. There will be two rods inserted
into the cover, use the rods to lift up and over
towards the back (mast) of the umbrella.
2. Towards the bottom of the mast, move your
attention to the Slider Car/Knob (26), and loosen
the knob. Your canopy will shimmy slightly.
3. Locate the crank handle
(
28
)
that is packed with
your umbrella and insert into the indentation on
the mast.
DISCLAIMER:
Do not move the slider car into a
desired position until the canopy is 2/3 - fully open.
The cable system must maintain tension through the
opening and closing process.
4. Before cranking, gently spread/“fluff” umbrella
arms (Figure B) and begin to crank your
umbrella clockwise. If you feel any impingement
whatsoever, halt cranking and fluff your umbrella
once more.
5. As the canopy opens, the Infinity Tilt Knob
(
27
)
should travel freely and begin to “float” on the
mast (this is normal). When your umbrella is
almost half way open, you can begin to push
the Slider Car up to it’s Highest position until
it stops, and tighten the Infinity Tilt Knob
(
27
).
Continue to crank
until umbrella is fully open.
6. At this point, your umbrella should be fully open
and at a horizontal position, and the Infinity Tilt
Knob
(
27
)
should be tightened. To Tilt into a
desired position
, hold on to the
Infinity Tilt Knob
(
27
), loosen and slide into your preferred tilt
angle. Once set, tighten the knob (
27
) and you’re
ready to enjoy.

CLOSING AURORA CANTILEVER UMBRELLA
OPENING AURORA CANTILEVER UMBRELLA
1. Loosen the Infinity Tilt Knob
(
27
) and let the
Slider Car
(
26
)
free float.
DISCLAIMER:
Do not move the slider car into a
desired position until the canopy is 2/3 - fully open.
The cable system must maintain tension through the
opening and closing process.
2. Begin to crank counter-clockwise. As the
umbrella starts to close, you can manually help
the Slider Car
(
26
)
down the mast.
3. When the canopy is fully closed, pull the Main
Arm
(
20
) towards the mast ensuring the Slider
Car (
26
) is at it’s lowest point and then tighten
the
Infinity Tilt Knob
(
27
), locking the Slider Car
(
26
) down.
4. When the umbrella is closed, you’ll notice the
weight of the fabric from the panels will tuck and
fold in towards the center hub and becoming
pinched between the ribs of the frame. Leaving
the fabric in this state will cause premature wear
and tear.
• After closing the umbrella, pull the panel fabric
out and fold each panel in an over/over method
before wrapping with the supplied Velcro fabric
tie. This will ensure avoidable wear and tear on
the fabric with simple maintenance.
5. Secure the folded panels in place with the
canopy strap (
B
), wrapping it firmly around
the mast and canopy. Gently push the folded
canopy back against the mast so that it is
compact and the rubber bump-stops are in
contact with the Mast
(
22
)
.
• PLACING THE PROTECTIVE COVER:
Stand
in front of the folded canopy and open the
protective cover zipper completely. Use the
handle rod to lift the protective cover behind
the mast and up as high as possible to clear the
top of the umbrella. Pull the protective cover
down over the top of the mast
(
22
)
and canopy.
Zip the protective cover closed. The zip should
be on the front side of the canopy (
C
), not at the
back of the mast.

IMPORTANT:
• Do not attempt to open the umbrella in windy
conditions. This may cause unwanted stress
on the cranking system as the large umbrella
canopy needs to work against the winds.
• Avoid extreme angles in any windy situations.
Always set at 90° when gusty or in moderate
winds with the Wind Stabilizer Kit.
• The Wind Stabilizer Kit can ONLY be used while
the umbrella is at it’s optimal 90° position,
locked and the knob is tightened. This kit
cannot and used while the umbrella is at any
degree of tilt.
