Setup and Assembly
Your PURPLE LEAF Cantilever Umbrella comes in two main packages. Assembly typically takes about 45 minutes and may require assistance for lifting the main pole into the base.
Package Contents
Ensure all components are present before beginning assembly. The umbrella includes the main pole, canopy, and a base designed to be filled for stability. Note that the umbrella base is not included in the main package and must be purchased separately (e.g., PURPLE LEAF DY1100 water tank base, anchor base, or wheel base).

Base Preparation
The base must be filled with a stabilizing agent to prevent tipping. It is recommended to fill the base halfway with sand and then top it off with water for maximum stability. This ensures the heavy-duty aluminum frame remains secure.

Main Pole Installation
Carefully insert the main pole into the prepared base. Secure all connections as per the detailed instructions provided in the separate assembly guide (not included in this general manual). Ensure the pole is firmly seated and locked into place.
Operating Instructions
The PURPLE LEAF Cantilever Umbrella features an ergonomic handle and foot pedal for easy operation.
Opening the Umbrella
- Release Straps: Unfasten any securing straps around the folded canopy.
- Raise Canopy: Use the aluminum crank handle located on the main pole to slowly extend the canopy upwards. Continue cranking until the canopy is fully open and taut.
- Adjust Tilt: The umbrella offers 6-position adjustment for height and angle. Use the handle to adjust the canopy to your desired tilt, providing optimal shade throughout the day.

360° Rotation
For comprehensive shade coverage, the umbrella features a hands-free 360° foot pedal rotation. Simply step on the pedal at the base to unlock the rotation mechanism, then gently rotate the entire umbrella to the desired position. Release the pedal to lock it in place.
Closing and Securing the Umbrella
- Retract Canopy: Use the aluminum crank handle to retract the canopy until it is fully closed against the main pole.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your PURPLE LEAF umbrella.
Canopy Care
The high-density 240 GSM yarn-dyed polyester canopy is UV-resistant, water-repellent, and fade-resistant for up to 3 years. To clean, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the canopy is completely dry before folding and storing to prevent mildew.

Frame Care
The superior wind-resistant aluminum frame and heavy-duty aluminum ribs feature a durable powder coating for rust resistance and scratch protection. Regularly inspect the frame for any signs of wear or damage. Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Lubricate moving parts as needed.

Storage
When not in use, especially during strong winds or off-season, close the umbrella and secure it with the provided straps. Consider purchasing a dedicated umbrella cover for additional protection against elements. (Note: Patio umbrella cover is NOT INCLUDED. Please search PURPLE LEAF Cover to purchase.)
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your umbrella, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Umbrella Instability: Ensure the base is fully filled with sand and water as recommended. Check that all connections between the pole and base are secure.
- Difficulty Opening/Closing: Inspect the crank mechanism for any obstructions. Ensure the canopy fabric is not caught in the ribs or pole. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving parts if resistance persists.
- Wind Damage: Always close and secure the umbrella in windy conditions. While designed to withstand winds up to 35 MPH, extreme gusts can cause damage.
