5.3 Using the Solar LED Lighting

The parasol is equipped with 24 solar-powered LED lights:

• Ensure the solar panel at the top of the parasol receives sufficient sunlight during the day to charge the integrated battery.

• The lights will automatically turn on at dusk if the switch is in the 'ON' position and the battery is charged.

5.4 Wind Protection Straps

For added stability, especially in light breezes, utilize the adjustable wind protection straps:

• Locate the two length-adjustable straps and the central canopy.
• Securely fasten the straps to the designated points on the parasol frame to minimize movement of the canopy.
