PURPLE LEAF 11' x 15' Rectangle Cantilever Patio Umbrella User Manual

Introduction

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe assembly, operation, and maintenance of your PURPLE LEAF 11' x 15' Rectangle Cantilever Patio Umbrella. Please read all instructions carefully before use and retain this manual for future reference.

Safety Information

• Always ensure the umbrella base is adequately weighted. A weighted base (sold separately, search WK4500) is crucial for stability. Pebbles or sand can be used to fill the base.
• Do not use the umbrella in strong winds or severe weather conditions. Close and secure the umbrella to prevent damage or injury.
• Keep children and pets away from the umbrella during opening, closing, and adjustment to prevent accidents.
• Ensure all locking mechanisms are engaged after adjusting the umbrella's position or tilt.
• Avoid placing the umbrella near open flames or heat sources.
• Regularly inspect the umbrella for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Do not use if damaged.

Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before beginning assembly:

• Umbrella Canopy with Ribs
• Main Pole Assembly
• Cantilever Arm
• Base Plate (or Weighted Base if purchased together)
• Assembly Hardware (bolts, washers, tools)
• Instruction Manual

Note: Weighted base (e.g., WK4500) and filling materials (water/sand/pebbles) are typically sold separately unless specified.

Setup Instructions

Assembly typically requires two adults due to the size and weight of the components.

1. Prepare the Base: If using a weighted base, fill it with water, sand, or pebbles as per its specific instructions. Ensure it is stable and level on your chosen surface.
2. Attach Main Pole to Base: Securely fasten the main pole assembly to the base plate using the provided hardware. Ensure all bolts are tightened.
3. Attach Cantilever Arm: Connect the cantilever arm to the main pole. This section often includes the crank system and tilt mechanism.
4. Mount the Umbrella Canopy: With assistance, carefully lift and attach the umbrella canopy to the cantilever arm. Ensure it is properly seated and secured with all locking pins or bolts.
5. Remove Packaging: Remove any remaining protective packaging or ties from the canopy and frame.

Operating Instructions

1. Opening the Umbrella: Use the crank system located on the main pole to smoothly open the canopy. Continue cranking until the canopy is fully extended and taut.
2. Closing the Umbrella: Reverse the crank system to retract the canopy. Once fully closed, secure it with any integrated ties or straps.
3. 360-Degree Rotation: To rotate the umbrella, disengage the rotation lock (if present, often a foot pedal or handle) and gently turn the canopy to the desired position. Re-engage the lock to secure.
4. Height and Angle Adjustment: The umbrella features 5 height and angle adjustment levels. Use the handle design and crank system to select the optimal shading angle. Ensure the mechanism locks securely into place after adjustment.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Canopy: Clean the polyester fabric canopy with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before closing or storing. Do not use harsh chemicals.
• Frame Care: Wipe the aluminum frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Periodically check and tighten all bolts and connections.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods or during off-season, close the umbrella, secure it with a cover (sold separately), and store it in a dry, protected area.
• Wind Precautions: Always close the umbrella when not in use or when strong winds are anticipated. Even with a weighted base, extreme winds can cause damage.
