Key Features:

• Premium Canopy: Constructed from 220gsm solution-dyed fabric with UPF50+ anti-UV coating, offering 3-year fade resistance, 99.9% UV resistance, and water-repellent properties.
• High-Quality Frame: Features a durable 6-rib steel alloy frame with a 1.5-inch pole, suitable for most outdoor table apertures. The 6 heavy-duty ribs are 20% thicker (12x18mm) for superior support and stability, capable of withstanding 30 MPH winds. Double powder-coated steel alloy surface ensures excellent rust resistance.
• Easy Crank/Tilt Adjustment: A smooth crank system allows for effortless opening (clockwise) and closing (counterclockwise). The reinforced zinc alloy tilting mechanism provides 1.5X the hardness and 2X the tensile strength compared to aluminum alloy, extending its service life.
• Vents and Ties: Top vents facilitate hot air escape and allow cool crosswinds, enhancing stability in windy conditions. Integrated ties secure the umbrella when folded for storage.

2. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to properly set up your HOMSHADE patio umbrella.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components are present according to the packing list.
2. Prepare the Base: A proper umbrella base is required and is not included with this product. Ensure your chosen base (e.g., HOMSHADE H12/H13/H14/H15/H16/H17) is stable and filled with water or sand as per its instructions.
3. Insert Pole: Insert the bottom section of the umbrella pole into the umbrella base. Tighten any securing screws on the base to hold the pole firmly in place.
4. Attach Umbrella Canopy: If the pole comes in two sections, connect the top section (with the canopy) to the bottom section. Ensure the connection is secure.
5. Open Umbrella: Use the crank handle to slowly open the umbrella canopy. Turn the crank clockwise until the canopy is fully extended and taut.

4. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your patio umbrella.

• Cleaning the Canopy: Clean the fabric canopy regularly with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before closing or storing.
• Frame Care: The powder-coated steel alloy frame is rust-resistant. Wipe down the frame with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Wind Protection: Always close and secure the umbrella with the integrated ties during strong winds or when not in use to prevent damage.
• Storage: For prolonged periods of non-use, especially during off-season or harsh weather, store the umbrella in a dry, protected area. Consider using a protective cover.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your HOMSHADE patio umbrella, refer to the following common solutions:

• Umbrella not opening/closing smoothly: Check the crank mechanism for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the ribs. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving parts if necessary.
• Umbrella feels unstable: Confirm that the umbrella pole is fully inserted into a suitable base and that all securing screws on the base are tightened. Ensure the base is adequately weighted (e.g., filled with sand or water).
• Tilting mechanism not engaging: Ensure the umbrella is fully open before attempting to tilt. Check if the push-button is fully depressed and released.
• Canopy fading or showing wear: While the fabric is fade-resistant, prolonged exposure to intense sun can still affect its lifespan. Ensure the umbrella is closed and tied when not in use, especially during peak sun hours.
