PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
SAFETY WARNING
This umbrella base is designed to secure your patio umbrella in calm conditions only, where there is no breeze or wind.
- NEVER open or operate a patio umbrella in wind conditions greater than 5mph (8kph).
- NEVER use the umbrella tilt function in any wind (even a light breeze).
- ALWAYS close the umbrella when unattended or not in use. If you are not sitting under it, the umbrella should be closed and secured.
- ALWAYS use storage straps to properly secure the canopy to the frame when the umbrella is closed.
- ALWAYS use a correctly weighted base for the size of the umbrella being used; more weight is always better than less weight, especially if you intend to use the umbrella in a freestanding situation.
- FAILURE TO CAREFULLY OBSERVE THESE SAFETY WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR UMBRELLA BASE, UMBRELLA, OR PROPERTY AND IN EXTREME CASES PERSONAL INJURY.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If the umbrella is showing ANY signs of stress, or IF the umbrella begins to move around excessively even when properly weighted it indicates the wind is too strong and the umbrella must be closed and secured immediately.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- Regular application of water displacing and penetrating oil to the metal parts of the umbrella base will help to protect them against surface corrosion (remember to treat the bolt and washers on the underside of the base).
- Regular application of a plastic protectant to the base will help to protect it against damage from the harsh outdoor elements.
- During any extended periods of non-use, especially through the winter months your umbrella and the umbrella base should be stored inside in a dry place.
BEFORE YOU START

WHAT’S IN THE BOX
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Slide the umbrella stem into the plastic umbrella base and fix from the
underside of the base using the countersunk lower fixing plate and M10*20mm
countersunk hex screw, ensure the 2 holes are located over the lugs in the
base. Tighten firmly using the hex wrench.
Step 2
Check the outside diameter of your umbrella pole, if it is 38mm, then leave
both the 38mm and 48mm spacers in place inside the stem, if the pole diameter
is 48mm remove the 38mm plastic spacer leaving the 48mm spacer in place, so
that the umbrella pole fits snugly into the umbrella stem.
Step 3
Remove the cap in the top of the plastic umbrella base and fill with sand
and/or water, a small plastic funnel (not supplied) will make this job easier.
Once filled, replace the cap.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Temperatures below freezing may cause water to expand and crack the plastic
base. It is VERY IMPORTANT to add an anti-freeze mixture (follow the
manufacturer’s ratios) to the water inside the base (even if you use sand and
water) if you choose to keep your base outdoors when temperatures are likely
to fall below freezing. Failure to follow this step will damage the base if
the water inside freezes and expands.
IMPORTANT: If the base is filled with sand and water it will be almost impossible to empty again.
Step 4
Place the umbrella pole into the umbrella base stem and hand-tighten the umbrella pole tension screw.
CAUTION: Take care not to over-tighten as this may damage the umbrella pole.
