6. Troubleshooting

• Parasol does not open/close smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the mechanism or canopy. Ensure the crank handle is not damaged.
• Parasol is unstable: Verify that the base is properly weighted and placed on a flat, stable surface. Ensure all connections are secure.
• Canopy fading: While the canopy is fade-resistant, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can still cause some fading over time. Use a protective cover when not in use.
