Operating Instructions

Your PURPLE LEAF cantilever umbrella features an ergonomic design for ease of use.

Opening and Closing the Umbrella

1. To open the umbrella, locate the crank handle on the main pole. Turn the crank clockwise until the canopy is fully extended.
2. To close the umbrella, turn the crank counter-clockwise until the canopy is fully retracted.

Adjusting Height and Tilt

The umbrella offers 6 different height and angle adjustments.

1. To adjust the tilt, press the lever on the main pole and move the canopy arm to the desired angle. Release the lever to lock it in place.
2. The umbrella can be adjusted to various heights by manipulating the main pole mechanism.

360° Rotation

For optimal shade coverage, the umbrella can rotate 360 degrees.

• Step on the foot pedal located at the base of the main pole.
• While holding the pedal down, gently rotate the umbrella canopy to the desired position.
• Release the foot pedal to lock the umbrella in its new orientation.

Maintenance

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

• Canopy Cleaning: Hand wash the canopy with mild detergent and warm water. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric. Line dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain fabric integrity.
• Frame Care: The aluminum frame and ribs feature a powder coating for rust and scratch resistance. Clean the frame with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, or during off-season, close the umbrella and secure it with a cover (not included). Store in a dry, protected area.
• Wind Resistance: The double-roof wind vent canopy is designed to allow wind to pass through, reducing pressure. However, always close the umbrella in high winds to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

• Umbrella not opening/closing smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the canopy or crank mechanism. Ensure all packaging materials have been removed from the ribs. Lubricate moving parts if necessary.
• Umbrella unstable in light wind: Verify that the weighted base is adequately filled and securely attached to the cross stand. Ensure the main pole is firmly connected to the base.
• Canopy fading: While the canopy is fade-resistant for up to 3 years, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can still cause some fading over time. Regular cleaning and using a cover when not in use can help mitigate this.
• Water pooling on canopy: The canopy is water-repellent, but not fully waterproof. In heavy rain, some water may accumulate or seep through. Close the umbrella during heavy precipitation.
