Product Overview
This manual provides instructions for the Treasure Garden 9ft Deluxe Auto-Tilt Patio Umbrella. It features a durable black aluminum frame and a Sunbrella Jockey Red canopy, designed for outdoor use.

Key Features
- Shade Coverage: 9ft octagon canopy provides up to 57 sq ft of shade, suitable for dining or lounge seating.
- Tilt Mechanism: Features a crank-to-open system; continued cranking engages a smooth, incremental auto-tilt function to adjust shade throughout the day.
- Sunbrella Performance Fabric: Canopy made from genuine Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic, offering resistance to fading and UV exposure for long-lasting color. Backed by a 5-year Sunbrella fade warranty.
- Sturdy Build: Constructed with a black powder-coated aluminum frame, 8 ribs, and a Kevlar mesh lift cord for enhanced strength and durability. Overall height is approximately 102.5 inches.
- Base Compatibility: The 1.5-inch pole diameter is compatible with most patio tables and umbrella bases. Requires a compatible 50 lb or heavier stand or weighted table base (sold separately).

Operating the Umbrella
Opening and Closing
To open the umbrella, locate the crank handle on the pole. Turn the crank clockwise until the canopy is fully extended. To close, turn the crank counter-clockwise until the canopy is completely retracted.

Auto-Tilt Function
The Deluxe Auto-Tilt feature allows for easy angle adjustment. Once the umbrella canopy is fully open, continue turning the crank handle in the same direction (clockwise). The canopy will begin to tilt incrementally. To return the canopy to its upright position, turn the crank counter-clockwise until it is fully closed, then begin cranking clockwise again to open it without tilt, or continue past the open position to engage the tilt in the opposite direction.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning the Canopy
The Sunbrella fabric canopy is designed for easy care. For general cleaning, brush off loose dirt, then spray with a mild cleaning solution (e.g., 1/4 cup mild soap per gallon of lukewarm water). Use a soft brush to clean, then rinse thoroughly until all soap residue is removed. Allow the fabric to air dry completely before closing or storing the umbrella.

Frame Care
The black powder-coated aluminum frame is rust-resistant. Clean the frame periodically with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Storage
When not in use for extended periods or during inclement weather, it is recommended to close the umbrella and secure it with a tie. For off-season storage, clean the canopy and frame, allow to dry, and store in a dry, protected area, preferably using a protective umbrella cover.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Umbrella does not open/close smoothly. | Crank mechanism obstruction or damage. | Check for debris in the mechanism. Apply silicone spray to moving parts if stiff. If damaged, contact customer support. |
| Canopy does not tilt. | Umbrella not fully open, or mechanism issue. | Ensure the canopy is fully extended before continuing to crank for tilt. If issue persists, inspect the tilt mechanism for damage. |
| Umbrella is unstable. | Insufficient base weight or loose pole. | Ensure a minimum 50 lb umbrella base is used and that the pole is securely tightened within the base. Do not use in high winds. |
