SAFETY GUIDE

• Patio umbrellas are only designed to protect from the sun, NOT the wind.
• NEVER open or operate this umbrella in wind conditions greater than 5mph (8kph).
• NEVER use the tilt function in any wind (even a light breeze).
• NEVER use excessive force on the crank handle to open or close the umbrella.
• ALWAYS close and secure the umbrella when not in use or during any strong wind event, especially gusting wind and rain.
• ALWAYS close the umbrella when unattended or not in use. If you are not sitting under it, the umbrella should be closed.
• ALWAYS use the Velcro straps to properly secure the canopy to the frame when the umbrella is closed.
• Base weights are required (additional purchase) to secure this umbrella.
• NEVER open or operate the umbrella without first placing base weights in each open section of the cross base. It is important to use a correctly weighted base; more weight is always better than less weight. This model requires a
  MINIMUM base weight of 192 lbs. (88 kg).

FAILURE TO CAREFULLY OBSERVE THESE SAFETY WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO YOUR UMBRELLA, POTENTIAL PERSONAL INJURY, AND OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Suppose the umbrella shows ANY signs of stress or moves around excessively even when adequately weighted. In that case, it indicates the wind is too strong, and the umbrella must be closed and secured immediately

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• To help extend the life of the polyester fabric and reduce the effects of fading, we strongly advise using a protective storage cover whenever the umbrella is not being used.
• During extended periods of bad weather (especially through winter months), your umbrella should be stored inside in a dry place.
• The polyester fabric has been treated to make it dirt and shower-resistant (not waterproof). If your umbrella gets wet, please allow it to fully dry before storing it away. The fabric can be cleaned with a soft brush, then use a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove any stubborn stains.

6. Attach the main frame and canopy to the central spigot. Ensure the locating pin is positioned into the cutout at the top of the central spigot.

   NOTE: The central spigot is designed with a reverse angle to ensure the canopy sits level once assembled. It is essential to correctly locate the crank winder directly above the tension screw, as shown.
   
   Locate the umbrella in direct sunlight to charge the batteries before first use.
   IMPORTANT NOTE: Charge the batteries for at least 8 hours in direct sunlight before first use. Failing to follow this step will shorten the lifespan of the rechargeable batteries and decrease the performance of the lights. Make sure the switch on the rib is set to the “OFF” ‘O’ position during charging.
   

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5. To close the umbrella, first, undo the tie strings and then wind the crank handle gently in a counterclockwise direction until the canopy is fully closed.
   CRITICAL STEP: Always remember to slide the lock cover away from the vertical lift mechanism BEFORE lowering the umbrella arm. Unlock the lift clamp and gently slide the arm downwards to lower the umbrella fully. Fasten the Velcro storage straps around the canopy and main frame.
   NOTE: A regular application of silicone spray to the sliding mechanisms will assist with smooth operation.

OFFSET UMBRELLA BASE TIPS

STANDARD INSTALLATION

• The cross base supplied with this offset umbrella requires 4 individual base weights of at least 48 lbs. (22 kg) each for a minimum combined weight of 192 lbs. (88 kg) to provide the necessary support and stability. As a general rule, the more weight, the better the umbrella will be supported.
• Failing to use the minimum base weight will damage the umbrella and may also cause personal injury

SPECIAL INSTALLATION

• If you have a suitable timber deck, the cross base can be secured to it using 2” (5cm) M8 coach bolts or deck screws (not supplied). Ensure the fixing points are made into joists or bearers, not just the decking boards. If using this option, extreme care must be taken to ensure the umbrella is never opened or used in winds greater than 5mph.
