Operating Instructions
Filling the Base for Stability
The base can be filled with various materials to achieve different weights:
- Water: Provides approximately 82 lb (37 kg) of weight.
- Sand: Provides approximately 132 lb (60 kg) of weight.
- Water-Sand Mixture: Provides approximately 123 lb (56 kg) of weight.
Choose the filling material based on the size of your umbrella and expected wind conditions. For optimal stability, a sand or water-sand mixture is recommended.

Using the Wheels and Locks
The base is equipped with four wheels for easy movement. Two of these wheels include locking mechanisms to secure the base in place.
- To move the base, ensure the locking wheels are in the unlocked position.
- To secure the base, push down the levers on the two locking wheels until they click into place. This will prevent the base from rolling.

Securing the Umbrella Pole
The central pole holder is designed to accommodate umbrella poles with diameters ranging from 1.5 to 1.9 inches (38mm to 48mm). Use the appropriate umbrella sleeve if your pole is smaller.
- Insert your umbrella pole into the central holder.
- Tighten the two thumb screws on the side of the pole holder until the umbrella pole is firmly secured and does not wobble.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the umbrella base with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Storage: During off-seasons or prolonged periods of non-use, it is recommended to empty the base of water or sand to prevent freezing damage or mold growth. Store the base in a cool, dry place.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Inspect the plastic for cracks or damage, especially after extreme weather conditions.
