5.1 Extending and Retracting the Canopy

1. To extend the canopy, insert the crank handle into the designated opening and turn it clockwise. The canopy will smoothly unroll.
2. To retract the canopy, turn the crank handle counter-clockwise. The canopy will roll back into its housing.
3. Ensure the canopy is fully retracted when not in use or during strong winds.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning the Fabric: Clean the canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Use a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before retracting to prevent mildew. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Frame Care: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Periodically check all screws and connections and tighten if necessary.
• Storage: During off-season or prolonged periods of non-use, it is recommended to retract the canopy and store it in a dry, protected area to prolong its lifespan.
