Operating Instructions
Adjusting Shade Angles:
- 360° Rotation: The umbrella features a 360° horizontal rotation. Loosen the locking mechanism on the main pole, rotate the canopy to the desired position, and then re-tighten the lock.
- 360° Multi-Axis Tilt: Utilize the universal joint to tilt the canopy vertically or horizontally. This allows for precise shade positioning throughout the day. Secure the ergonomic triangle handle to fix the tilt angle.
- Height Adjustment: The main pole is height-adjustable (2.2-9.7ft). Loosen the height adjustment clamp, raise or lower the canopy to the desired height, and securely tighten the clamp.

Folding and Storage:
To fold the umbrella for compact storage or in anticipation of strong winds:
- Release the canopy expansion mechanisms and gently fold the canopy inwards.
- Lower the height of the umbrella to its lowest setting.
- Use the provided strap to securely tie the folded canopy and crossbar to the main pole.
- If removing from the base, carefully lift the pole out of the base.
Maintenance
- Cleaning the Canopy: The 220gsm solution-dyed fabric is water-repellent. Clean with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before folding and storing.
- Frame Care: The powder-coated steel alloy frame is designed for outdoor use. Periodically inspect for any signs of wear or damage. Clean with a damp cloth.
- Storage: When not in use, especially during off-season or severe weather, fold the umbrella and secure it with the strap. Store in a dry, protected area to extend its lifespan.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Umbrella is unstable or blows over easily. | Inadequate base weight or improper securing. | Ensure a sufficiently weighted base is used. For windy areas, consider additional securing methods like velcro wraps to railings (if applicable) or heavier sandbags in the base. Always fold and secure the umbrella in strong winds. |
| Difficulty expanding or folding the canopy. | Mechanisms not fully disengaged/engaged or fabric caught. | Check all locking mechanisms and ensure they are fully released before attempting to expand or fold. Gently guide the fabric to prevent snagging. |
| Canopy not providing sufficient shade. | Incorrect angle or height adjustment. | Utilize the 360° rotation, multi-axis tilt, and height adjustment features to optimize shade coverage for the current sun position. |
