YEAUPE PRO Square Cantilever Parasol User Manual

1. Important Safety Information

Please read all instructions carefully before assembly and use. Retain this manual for future reference.

• Secure the Base: The parasol must be adequately weighted or fixed to the ground to ensure stability. A minimum load of 120 kg is recommended for the base. Failure to do so may result in the parasol tipping over, especially in windy conditions.
• Wind Conditions: Always close the parasol during strong winds, heavy rain, or other adverse weather conditions to prevent damage to the product and potential injury.
• Overnight Storage: Close the parasol overnight to protect the canopy fabric and extend its lifespan.
• Assembly: Follow the assembly instructions precisely. Incorrect installation can affect stability and functionality.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the parasol during operation to prevent accidents.

2. Components List

3. Setup Instructions

The parasol is partially pre-assembled. Follow these steps for complete setup.

3.1 Base Assembly

1. Assemble the cross base by connecting the two metal profile elements.
2. Attach the rotating collar to the assembled cross base.
3. Place appropriate weights (not included, minimum 120 kg recommended) onto the cross base to ensure stability. Alternatively, the base can be fixed to the ground using suitable anchors (not included).

3.2 Attaching the Main Pole

1. Insert the main support pole into the designated slot on the rotating collar of the base.
2. Secure the pole using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are tight.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Opening the Parasol

1. Locate the crank handle on the main support pole.
2. Rotate the crank handle clockwise to extend the parasol canopy until it is fully open and taut.

4.2 Adjusting the Angle

1. Press the handle on the main pole to release the locking mechanism.
2. Slide the handle up or down to select one of the 6 available angle positions.
3. Release the handle to lock the parasol at the desired angle.

4.3 360° Rotation

1. Locate the pedal at the base of the main support pole.
2. Press down on the pedal to unlock the rotation mechanism.
3. Gently rotate the parasol to the desired direction.
4. Release the pedal to lock the parasol in its new position.

4.4 Closing and Storing the Parasol

2. Once fully closed, pinch the handle on the main pole and lower the cantilever arm to its lowest position.
3. Use the integrated strap to tie up the folded canopy securely against the pole.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning the Canopy: Clean the polyester canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before folding or storing. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Frame Care: Wipe the aluminum frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. The frame is rust-resistant, but regular cleaning helps maintain its appearance.
• Lubrication: Periodically check the crank mechanism and rotation pedal for smooth operation. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
• Storage: During off-season or extended periods of non-use, store the closed and secured parasol in a dry, protected area. A protective cover (not included) is recommended.

6. Troubleshooting

• Parasol is unstable: Ensure the base is adequately weighted with a minimum of 120 kg or securely fixed to the ground. Always close the parasol in windy conditions.
• Difficulty rotating the parasol: Check the pedal mechanism at the base. If rotation is stiff, inspect the ball bearing of the carousel mechanism. It may be overly tightened from the factory; gently loosen the four screws blocking it if necessary, then re-tighten to a functional level.
• Crank handle is stiff: Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the crank mechanism. Ensure no debris is obstructing its movement.
• Canopy does not open/close smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the canopy ribs or fabric. Ensure the crank mechanism is clean and lubricated.
