2. Safety Information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in injury or property damage.
- Ensure the base is placed on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping.
- Fill the base completely with the recommended materials (sand and water) to achieve maximum stability. An improperly filled base may not adequately secure the umbrella.
- This base is specifically designed for PURPLE LEAF offset patio umbrellas, particularly 10' x 13' and 12' x 12' square models. Using it with incompatible umbrellas may compromise stability.
- Do not attempt to move the base when it is fully filled. Empty the contents before relocating.
- In strong winds or severe weather conditions, close and secure your umbrella, or remove it from the base to prevent damage to the umbrella or base.
- Keep children and pets away from the umbrella and base during assembly and operation.

4. Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to properly set up your umbrella base.
- Position the Cross Base: Place the cross base (which comes with your umbrella) in the desired location for your umbrella. Ensure the surface is level and stable.
- Assemble the Umbrella Base: The XN4150 base typically consists of multiple sections. Position these sections around the cross base of your PURPLE LEAF umbrella. Ensure they fit snugly and are correctly aligned.
- Fill the Base:
- Locate the inlet ports on the top of each section of the base.
- It is recommended to fill the base with approximately 90% sand and 10% water. This combination provides optimal weight and stability, reaching a total weight of approximately 330 lbs when fully injected.
- Carefully pour sand into the inlet ports until each section is nearly full.
- Add water to the remaining space to compact the sand and fill any voids.
- Securely close all inlet caps to prevent leakage.

- Attach Umbrella Pole: Once the base is filled and secured, insert your PURPLE LEAF umbrella pole into the designated opening in the center of the base, following your umbrella's specific assembly instructions.
- Verify Stability: Gently test the umbrella and base for stability. Ensure there is no wobbling or instability.

5. Operating Instructions
The PURPLE LEAF XN4150 umbrella base is designed to provide a stable foundation for your compatible offset patio umbrella.
- Daily Use: Ensure the umbrella pole is securely seated in the base before opening the umbrella.
- Wind Conditions: Always close your umbrella when not in use or during windy conditions to prevent damage and ensure safety. Even with a weighted base, strong gusts can cause umbrellas to tip or break.
- Relocation: If you need to move the base, it is highly recommended to empty the sand and water first. The base features a handle design for easier movement when empty.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your umbrella base.
- Cleaning: Clean the base periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the base for any cracks, damage, or loose caps. Address any issues promptly to maintain stability.
- Winter Storage: In freezing climates, it is advisable to empty the water from the base to prevent ice expansion from cracking the plastic. Store the empty base in a sheltered area during winter months.
