Operating Instructions
Your LAUSAINT HOME cantilever umbrella offers easy operation for optimal shade control:
- Opening and Closing: Use the crank lift mechanism located on the pole to smoothly open or close the umbrella canopy. Turn the crank clockwise to open and counter-clockwise to close.
- Tilting the Canopy: The umbrella features an adjustable tilt system. Use the crank handle design to adjust the angle of inclination from 0-90 degrees, allowing you to block sun at various times of the day.
- 360° Rotation: A unique foot pedal at the base allows for 360-degree rotation of the entire umbrella. Step on the pedal to unlock the rotation, adjust the umbrella to your desired position, and release the pedal to lock it in place.
The hassle-free crank control allows for easy opening and closing of the canopy.
Adjust the canopy to any position for optimal sun blocking throughout the day.
The labor-saving foot pedal enables effortless 360-degree rotation of the large canopy.
Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your patio umbrella:
- Cleaning: Clean the canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before closing or storing. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Frame Care: Wipe down the aluminum frame with a damp cloth. Periodically check and tighten all bolts and screws.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods or during severe weather, close the umbrella and secure it with the strapping tape. For winter storage, it is recommended to remove the canopy and store it in a dry, protected area.
- Fabric Protection: Consider applying a fabric protector (like Scotchgard) to the canopy to enhance water resistance and UV protection, as suggested by some users.
