Take-Down of #6759 Work Umbrella with Vacuum Mount Suction Cups
The dismantling of the Umbrella involves some overhead work, as the tent is located above the user. Always use caution
and remain aware of surroundings when working with objects above.
a.
Remove the Umbrella from the support structure by spinning collar on ball-hub counterclockwise. Use caution that
the roof does not catch wind and take flight. The collar is permanently locked onto the fiberglass rod, it can be left
as is, ready for the next use.
b.
Pull out and push up on the red handle, slipping the fourth tent rod out of the integral red handle pocket. Now the
whole sewn assembly can be folded up, with the four tent rods gathered together. Allow to dry, then place in the
carry case.
c.
Loosen the handle on the toothed hinge by turning it counter-clockwise. This will allow the hinge to spin 360
degrees, so use caution that the assembly does not rotate and strike the operator or others present. The shaft has
been fixed so as to only allow a maximum gap of about 1/4”; do not attempt to force the hinge open any further.
Position the upper section of fiberglass rod to be aligned with the section for the suction cups. Then tighten the
handle fully, engaging the teeth completely. Leaving the hinge in an open position during storage could lead to
bending of the shaft.
d.
Now press the button on the other hinge and align that final section of fiberglass rod with the other two.
e.
Release the suction cups by locating the rubber nibs on opposing sides of the cup (at the base, see
Fig. 5.2b) and
pulling them towards the center, and each other. The cups will fall off, so use one hand to support the structure.
f.
Replace the red protective disks on the rubber bases of the cups for longer life-span.
g.
Store the support structure in the carry bag with the Umbrella. Be sure that the fabric has an opportunity to dry fully
before being put into storage. If the sewn assembly is wet before storage, and does not dry adequately, mold,
mildew, and rot can take hold, causing eventual fabric failure as well as possible health issues.
