BASIC CARE
All fabrics will eventually fade from sun exposure. However, it is possible to maintain an umbrella's color for years to come by covering it
with an umbrella cover or storing it indoors when not in use.
Do not use bleach, acid, solvents or abrasive cleaners on this product.
Before putting into storage or covering, ensure the entire unit is clean and fully dry. Moisture may cause mold and mildew growth on the
canopy fabric and may cause the frame to rust.
During adverse weather conditions, or the winter, store your offset umbrella inside under a suitable cover.
METAL FRAME
Wipe the frame down using a soft cloth, warm water and mild soap; rinse thoroughly and dry.
If the painted finish should become chipped or scratched exposing bare metal, clean the surface thoroughly and treat with a touch-up paint.
Periodically use a suitable lubricant or water displacer on bolts and joints and check the frame for water build-up and empty if present.
Periodically check the tightness of any bolts or fixings — re-tighten hardware as required.
CANOPY FABRIC
Brush or vacuum loose dust, dirt and debris from the canopy. To clean the fabric, use a weak solution of warm water and washing powder
or laundry detergent. Rinse fabric thoroughly and allow to air dry thoroughly. Always test cleaning solutions on a small area first to ensure
suitability. Do not use bleach, acid, solvents or abrasive cleaners on the fabric.
SOLAR PANEL
Clean solar panels will absorb more sunlight. Wipe the panel down with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
Troubleshooting
Canopy will not open?
Inspect the ribs beneath the canopy as they may be crossed. Carefully, and gently uncross the ribs and the canopy should open as intended
by turning the crank.
Lights do not turn on at night?
1. Check the solar panel to make sure the switch is turned to the 'ON' position, and the power switch under the canopy is turned to the
'ON' position.
2. Check the rechargeable battery and make sure that it is well contacted to the metal plate. The battery may need replacing; only use
compatible rechargeable batteries; alternatives may be incompatible, which may damage the system and will void the product warranty.
3. Be sure the solar panel is not receiving too much ambient light from sources such as exterior lights.
This product uses a rechargeable battery. When the battery can no longer be used, it should be removed from the unit and recycled.
The battery must not be incinerated or composted. Recycle the battery in accordance with local laws and regulations.
Lights only work for a short time?
1. Check the location of the solar panel; make sure it is in a sunny area that does not become shaded during the day. The batteries will
only charge during the daytime.
2. Try a 'Boost Charge':
- Turn the power 'ON' and let it charge in full, direct sunlight for at least 8 hours.
- Turn the power 'OFF' at night to conserve the battery.
- Repeat this process for 2-3 days. If the unit still does not work, the battery may need replacing.
