The Shade Wagon DAF6PWI4STS Portable Shading System
Welcome To the TheShadeWagon™ Family!
Dear Valued Customer, Welcome to the new generation of revolutionary shading! With limitless set-up options, TheShadeWagon is the do-it-all shading system. The 360° spin & 180°tilt features are the first of their kind, making TheShadeWagon customizable to the sun as it moves throughout the day. Knowing our struggles with set-up & breakdown of “traditional” pop-up tents, we wanted to make that process easier for anyone to do & not only is the set-up easy, but it can be done in only minutes with just one person!
TheShadeWagon is lightweight, portable & durable. It is a very stable system designed with the elements in mind – when the base unit, 4 corner tethers & 3 box stakes are staked down, TheShadeWagon is a player against winds & other realistic weather conditions. We hope that you find TheShadeWagon to be a more convenient & practical tool for everyday use. So, as you welcome your new TheShadeWagon into your home, we would like to welcome you to TheShadeWagon Family! We appreciate your interest & support of TheShadeWagon – We cannot wait for you to be able to go out & THROW SOME SHADE! Stay tuned for more from IMPEL LLC, as we will release additional attachments & products specifically designed for TheShadeWagon, so you can upgrade your TheShadeWagon into a super-tool! These products may include, but are not limited to:
Set-Up
IMPORTANT: Always maintain two points of contact on TheShadeWagon at all times (during set-up & break-down).
Transport
TheShadeWagon was designed for ease in all areas. During transportation to your location, you may stack & carry your items on TheShadeWagon. Please make sure that your items are secured onto TheShadeWagon to avoid breaking and/or damaging any of your personal effects. TheShadeWagon is also equipped with all-terrain wheels, making it easier for you to travel over a variety of surfaces without struggle.
Choose Location
Pick your desired location to set up your TheShadeWagon. It is best to look for a flat area where the tethers & ground stakes can be inserted into the ground to ensure the stability of your structure. If your location does not have a soft surface, such as concrete, we recommend that you place a heavy object (approx. 25 pounds) inside of the box of TheShadeWagon. We should use tether weights to tie down your TheShadeWagon. We also recommend that you use weights on the ends of your tethers.
Remove & Secure
Once at your location, remove all personal items off of TheShadeWagon. Next, you will need to un-latch the securing latch at the rear of TheShadeWagon & the locating tab at the front.
Remove & Secure
Remove the box unit from the rolling platform & place the box unit in your desired location. Open the lid of the box unit & retrieve your ground stakes. Then, fully insert all 3 ground stakes into the ground stake slots of TheShadeWagon.
Tip: A rubber or plastic malet work best to hammer in the stakes
Mast Out
Now that TheShadeWagon is properly staked into the ground, with the lid still open, extend the mast system upward & out of the box unit until it clicks into place. Once the mast has locked into place, then you may shut the lid of the box unit.
Mast Up & Rotate Canopy
Extend the mast system upward until it is just above your head. With the mast placed just above head level, rotate the canopy pole system upward until they are parallel to the ground.
Fan Out Canopy Poles
With the canopy poles remaining unattended, pull the spring-loaded plunger as you rotate the canopy poles into place until they click.
Extend Canopy Poles
One by one, extend each canopy pole (4 total) outward until they stop extending (each section of all four poles should click into place while extending the poles outward). Once all canopy poles are extended, you may extend the mast to your desired height.
Tether & Finish
Open the velcro pockets built into the four corners of TheShadeWagon canopy & remove the built-in tethers. One by one, extend each tether away from the corner of TheShadeWagon canopy & secure it into the ground with one of the included ground stakes from the TheShadeWagon box unit.
Usage
Customize Your Coverage
360° Spin Mechanism
To use the 360° spin mechanism, pull the locking pin located at the top
center of the mast (circled in red on the image pictured to your left),
unlocking the canopy. Once you have found your desired position, re-insert the
locking pin back into the mast.
180° Tilt Mechanism
To use the 180° tilt mechanism, pull the spring-loaded tilt plunger located
at the top right of the mast (circled in red on the image pictured to your
right), unlocking the canopy. Then set the tilt to your desired position and
release the plunger, locking it back into place.
Stake & Tether
Please be sure to ground stake the main box unit of TheShadeWagon at the 3
built-in staking points & always tether the canopy by all 4 corners using the
built-in tethers (inside of the 4 tether pockets) to make TheShadeWagon a true
player against the elements.
Break-Down
Remove Security
First, remove all ground stakes from the box unit (3 total) & remove the
ground stakes at the end of the tethers (4 total). Then, coil the tether
around your hand & store the coiled rope tethers in the built-in tether
pockets at each corner of TheShadeWagon (4).
Retract Canopy Poles
Make sure to secure the mast back to the ‘head level’ position. Once at
head level, push the buttons on the canopy poles to retract all four of the
canopy poles one by one until all are fully retracted.
Rotate Canopy Poles Inward
Rotate all four canopy poles inward above the box unit by pulling each
locking plunger down.
Retract Mast
Leave the canopy system parallel to the ground & retract the mast all the way down until it stops by holding the system with one hand and holding the mast plunger with the other hand. Important Reminder: Always support the system with one hand, while lowering the system with the other hand.
Canopy System Down
Once the mast is down, rotate the canopy system downward using the tilt
plunger (circled in red).
Canopy To Box
After the canopy system is pointed downward, parallel to the mast, pull the mast locking ring at the base of the mast, carefully laying the entire system inside of the box unit (maintaining two points of contact). Then, you may close the lid.
Connect To Cart
Place the box unit back on top of the wheel platform. Once you have the box of the unit positioned on the cart, insert the locating tab on the front of the wagon & then, latch the hinge at the rear of TheShadeWagon (see hinge circled in red).

Now, you are done & ready to go! It’s that fast & easy!
