Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your umbrella.
- Cleaning: Wipe the canopy fabric and frame with a dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before closing or storing. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods or during inclement weather, close the umbrella and secure it. For long-term storage, it is recommended to remove the umbrella from its base and store it in a dry, protected area.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the frame, ribs, and fabric for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Umbrella does not open/close smoothly. | Mechanism is stiff or obstructed. | Check for any obstructions in the canopy or crank mechanism. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving parts if necessary. |
| LED lights are not working. | Insufficient solar charge; solar panel is dirty or obstructed; switch is off. | Ensure the solar panel receives direct sunlight for several hours. Clean the solar panel. Check if there's a manual switch and ensure it's in the "ON" position. |
