Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Umbrella is wobbly or unstable. | Loose tightening knob; incorrect coupler size; uneven surface. | Ensure the hand-turn knob is tightened securely. Verify the correct coupler is used for your umbrella pole. Place the base on a flat, level surface. |
| Umbrella pole does not fit. | Incorrect coupler selected or no coupler used. | Try the other included coupler. If neither fits, your umbrella pole diameter may be incompatible with this base. |
| Base appears damaged upon arrival. | Shipping damage or manufacturing defect. | Do not attempt to assemble or use. Contact customer support immediately for assistance. |
