- 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.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
-
Step 1
Slide the umbrella stem into the plastic umbrella base and fix it from the underside of the base using the countersunk lower fixing plate and M10*20mm countersunk hex screw. 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 it with sand and/or water, a small plastic funnel (not supplied) will make this job easier. Once filled, replace the cap.
Approximate filled weights are:
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.
