Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before assembling or operating the umbrella. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or product damage.

• Always close the umbrella during windy conditions, heavy rain, or when not in use. Strong winds can cause the umbrella to tip over or become damaged.
• Ensure the umbrella base is adequately weighted. A base weighing between 55-85 lbs is recommended for this umbrella model to ensure stability.
• Do not use the umbrella near open flames, heaters, or other heat sources.
• Keep children and pets away from the umbrella during opening, closing, and tilting operations to prevent accidental injury.
• Regularly inspect the umbrella for any signs of damage, wear, or loose parts. Do not operate if damaged.
• Avoid forcing the crank or tilt mechanisms. If resistance is encountered, check for obstructions.

Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before beginning assembly:

• Umbrella Canopy (Obravia2 Fabric)
• Upper Pole with Crank Lift Mechanism and 8-Rib Frame
• Lower Pole with Push Button Tilt Mechanism (32-inch Snap-n-Lock)

Note: An umbrella base is not included and must be purchased separately. A base weighing 55-85 lbs is recommended.

Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to assemble your Treasure Garden patio umbrella:

1. Prepare the Base: Place your umbrella base (not included) in the desired location. Ensure the base is stable and on a level surface.
2. Insert Lower Pole: Carefully insert the lower pole section into the opening of your umbrella base. Tighten any securing knobs on the base to hold the pole firmly in place.
3. Connect Upper and Lower Poles: Align the upper pole section (which includes the canopy and crank mechanism) with the lower pole. The 32-inch Snap-n-Lock bottom pole is designed for quick and reliable assembly. Push the upper pole down onto the lower pole until the Snap-n-Lock mechanism engages securely. You should hear or feel a click.
4. Verify Stability: Gently rock the assembled umbrella to ensure all connections are secure and the umbrella is stable in its base.

Operating Instructions

• Closing the Umbrella: Turn the crank handle counter-clockwise to retract the umbrella canopy. Continue turning until the canopy is fully closed. Secure the closed canopy with a tie strap if available.
• Tilting the Umbrella: Once the umbrella is fully open, locate the push-button tilt mechanism on the lower pole. Press the button and gently tilt the canopy to your desired angle (up to 30 degrees). Release the button to lock the canopy in the tilted position.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your umbrella.

• Cleaning the Canopy: The Obravia2 fabric is designed for easy cleaning. Use a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water. Apply with a soft brush or sponge, gently scrubbing the affected areas. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow the canopy to air dry completely before closing or storing. Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach.
• Frame Care: Wipe the powder-coated aluminum frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the crank and tilt mechanisms to ensure smooth operation.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, or during severe weather conditions, it is recommended to close the umbrella and secure it. For long-term storage, consider using a protective umbrella cover or storing the umbrella indoors in a dry place.

Troubleshooting

Refer to this section for solutions to common issues.

• Umbrella does not open or close smoothly:
  

  Check for any obstructions in the canopy fabric or around the crank mechanism. Ensure the upper and lower pole sections are securely connected. Apply lubricant to the crank mechanism if it feels stiff.
• Tilt mechanism is not engaging or holding position:
  

  Ensure the umbrella canopy is fully open before attempting to tilt. Press the push-button firmly while adjusting the angle. If the issue persists, inspect the mechanism for any visible damage or debris.

• Umbrella feels unstable or wobbles:
  

  Verify that the umbrella base meets the recommended weight of 55-85 lbs. Ensure the umbrella pole is fully inserted into the base and any securing knobs on the base are tightened. Check that the Snap-n-Lock connection between the upper and lower poles is fully engaged.
