General information
1. Use the parasol only if it is in original condition.
Any constructional change may lead to damages.
If the original condition is changed, constructional components may collide, the stability gets
reduced, opening and closing becomes complicated and the canopy or the metal base gets
damaged. Other components beside or below the parasol may also be affected. No warranty,
guarantee or liability.
• Only use original MAY spare parts.
• Do not make any constructive changes, e.g. bore holes, exchanging screws.
• Do not use any external material.
• Do not attach any items into the parasol, e.g. decoration or electrical equipment.
• Only use the parasol if it is free of damage and fully functional.
• Repairs may only be done by authorized personnel.
2. Only use the parasol if the weather is permitting.
Extreme environmental impacts may cause personal injury and material damage.
If a parasol is exposed to excessive strain it may get damaged or even ruined. The spokes,
the canopy or the centre pole may get damaged. Also, surrounding objects may be affected.
• After closing the parasol always secure it with the lashing strap.
• Close the parasol in case of thunderstorms, hail or extreme rain showers.
• The parasol is not made for snow loads. Close the parasol in case of snow and icing.
• Close the parasol if unattended.
3. Keep away children from the crank during opening and closing the parasol.
4. Keep the parasol away from open fires and its sparks. Deep fryers from surrounding booths cause dirt.
The canopy and the frame also get dirty from electric fires positioned directly below the parasol.
Exhaust fumes deposit as a black lubricating film underneath the parasol.
5. Check with your insurance if there is an option to cover storm damage for your FILIUS.
Storm damage: If a parasol is not professionally closed and secured (as instructed in this instruction
manual) it may damage the parasol.

Assembly: Storing the parasol
If possible, leave the parasol outside throughout the whole year. Unprofessional storage may rather lead
to damages than leaving the parasol outside.
There are several reasons for winter storage, e.g. if there is no vandalism protection given or if the city
administration requires parasol removal. Following instructions must be followed for storage:
1. The canopy must be really dry for storage.
Improper storage may damage the canopy.
If the following instructions are not observed, mildew may stain the material or the sewing
thread may start to moulder.
• Make sure the parasol is really dry.
• Fold the fabric correctly, see page 10 „closing the parasol“.
• Pull the protective sleeve over the closed parasol.
• Store the parasol in a dry room.
• Ensure a constant room temperature to avoid water condensation.
2. Make sure to avoid pressure marks at the canopy during storage.
Improper storage may damage the canopy.
Point loads from the tare weight or other subjects cause pressure marks and holes.
No guarantee possible!
• Remove the fixation of the (suspended) rain gutter and the side sheets, see separate manual.
• Remove any external components, if applicable.
• The weight of a horizontally stored parasol must be supported by a possibly large surface.
Use the cardboard tubes in which the parasol was delivered. Push in the parasol to avoid point
loads.
• In case you store the parasol in a rack without the cardboard tube, please make sure the rack
is deep enough to provide sufficient seating.
• The most simple and safe way to store a parasol is in vertical position. Just put the parasol
into a pedestal frame. If this unit is indoors, the parasol is protected from wind and weather
and therefore the canopy lasts the winter without damage.
