Safety Information
- Ensure the parasol base is adequately weighted and stable before opening the canopy. A minimum of 6 kg base weight is recommended, and additional weights (water or sand-filled) may be necessary, especially in windy conditions.
- Do not use the parasol in strong winds or severe weather conditions. Close and secure the parasol to prevent damage or injury.
- Keep children and pets away from the parasol during operation to prevent accidents.
- Regularly inspect all components for wear and tear. Replace damaged parts immediately.
- Avoid placing the parasol near open flames or heat sources.

Setup Instructions
Follow these steps for proper assembly of your PURPLE LEAF parasol:
- Prepare the Base: Place the base tube in your desired location. Ensure the surface is flat and stable. If using a separate weighted base (not included), ensure it is filled with water or sand for maximum stability. The parasol is designed to be stable with a proper base.
- Attach the Support Pole: Securely attach the main support pole to the base tube using the provided hardware and fixing nut. Ensure all connections are tightened to prevent wobbling. Some users may find it helpful to have a ratchet with extensions and Allen sockets for easier tightening.
- Mount the Parasol Canopy: With assistance, carefully lift the parasol canopy and frame assembly and slide it onto the top of the support pole. Ensure it is fully seated and secured according to the specific locking mechanism. This step may require two people due to the size and weight of the canopy.
- Final Checks: Before opening, double-check all connections for tightness and ensure the parasol is upright and stable.

Operating Instructions
Your PURPLE LEAF parasol offers flexible adjustment options for optimal shade.
- Opening the Canopy: Use the integrated crank system to smoothly open the parasol canopy. Turn the crank handle clockwise until the canopy is fully extended.
- 360° Rotation: To adjust the horizontal position of the canopy, locate the rotation mechanism on the main pole. Simply turn the handle to rotate the parasol 360 degrees, allowing you to find the perfect shade angle throughout the day.
- 6-Position Tilt Adjustment: The parasol features a 6-position tilt mechanism to adjust the vertical angle of the canopy. Use the aluminum handle to easily adjust the tilt, providing maximum sun protection as the sun's position changes.
- Closing the Canopy: Turn the crank handle counter-clockwise until the canopy is fully closed. Secure the canopy with any integrated straps or ties to prevent it from opening unexpectedly.

Maintenance
- Cleaning the Canopy: The canopy is made from 240 g/m² 100% solution-dyed polyester, which is light-resistant, waterproof, and UV 50+ protected. Clean the canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before closing or storing. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Frame Care: The aluminum/powder-coated steel frame and wood-look pole are designed for durability. Wipe the frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Storage: During off-seasons or periods of non-use, it is recommended to close the parasol and cover it with a protective cover (often included or sold separately). Store the parasol in a dry, sheltered area to prolong its lifespan.
- Lubrication: Periodically check and lubricate moving parts of the crank and tilt mechanisms with a silicone-based spray to ensure smooth operation.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Parasol wobbles or is unstable. | Base is not sufficiently weighted or secured. Connections are loose. | Ensure the base is filled with water or sand to its maximum capacity. Tighten all bolts and nuts connecting the pole to the base. For very windy areas, consider additional anchoring or a heavier base. |
| Crank mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate. | Lack of lubrication or debris in the mechanism. | Clean the crank mechanism and apply a silicone-based lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the gears. |
| Parasol does not tilt or rotate smoothly. | Mechanism is stiff or obstructed. | Check for any obstructions. Clean and lubricate the tilt and rotation mechanisms. |
| Canopy does not open or close fully. | Obstruction or damaged ribs. | Inspect the canopy and ribs for any damage or obstructions. Ensure the crank mechanism is operating correctly. |
