Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Aoxun 11 FT Cantilever Umbrella with LED Light. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient setup, operation, and maintenance of your new patio umbrella. Please read these instructions carefully before assembly and use, and retain them for future reference.
Setup Instructions
The Aoxun Cantilever Umbrella is designed for straightforward assembly. Ensure you have all components before beginning. A weighted base is included, designed to be filled with sandbags (4 x 30kg sandbags recommended, not pre-filled) for optimal stability. Tie-down straps are also provided to secure the umbrella when closed or during adverse weather conditions.

Key Setup Considerations:
- Location: Choose a flat, stable surface for placement, such as a concrete patio, wood deck, or lawn. Ensure adequate clearance for the umbrella's full extension and rotation.
- Base Weighting: Fill the included base with the recommended sandbags to prevent tipping, especially in windy conditions.
- Assembly: Follow the detailed assembly instructions provided in the product packaging. Ensure all connections are secure before use.
Operating Instructions
This cantilever umbrella features a 360° adjustable design, a crank lift mechanism for opening and closing, and a manual tilt function to provide optimal shade throughout the day.

Opening and Closing the Umbrella:
- To open, rotate the non-slip crank handle clockwise until the canopy is fully extended.
- To close, rotate the crank handle counter-clockwise until the canopy is fully retracted.
Adjusting Canopy Position:
- 360° Rotation: Use the foot-operated rotating base to adjust the canopy's orientation. This allows for single-handed adjustment to track the sun's movement.
- Tilt Adjustment: Utilize the manual tilt mechanism to adjust the canopy angle between 0° and 45°, blocking sunlight from various directions.
LED Light Operation:
The umbrella is equipped with built-in warm white LED lights powered by a solar panel. The lights are designed for easy operation via a one-click switch.

- Ensure the solar panel receives direct sunlight during the day to charge the lights.
- Locate the one-click switch, typically positioned on the umbrella pole or canopy frame, to turn the LED lights on or off.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan and preserve the appearance of your Aoxun Cantilever Umbrella.
Cleaning:
- Canopy: Wipe the Oxford fabric canopy with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Allow to air dry completely before closing or storing.
- Frame: Wipe the aluminum frame with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the anti-corrosion coating.
Storage:
- During periods of non-use or extreme weather conditions (strong winds, heavy rain, snow), it is recommended to close the umbrella and secure it with the provided tie-down straps.
- For prolonged storage, especially during winter months, store the umbrella indoors to protect it from harsh elements and prolong its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Aoxun Cantilever Umbrella.
Umbrella Not Opening/Closing Smoothly:
- Check for any obstructions in the canopy or frame mechanism.
- Ensure the crank handle is properly engaged and not stripped.
- Inspect the dual-bearing system for any debris or damage.
LED Lights Not Working:
- Solar Panel: Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving adequate direct sunlight for charging. Obstructions or shade can prevent proper charging.
- Switch Functionality: Verify the one-click switch is functioning correctly. Some users have reported issues where the switch may not operate as intended, requiring direct disconnection from the solar charger to turn off the lights. If the switch is faulty, contact customer support.
- Battery: The internal battery for the LED lights may not be charging or holding a charge. Ensure the umbrella is exposed to sunlight for several hours before expecting the lights to function.
Umbrella Instability:
- Ensure the base is fully weighted with the recommended sandbags (4 x 30kg).
- Verify the umbrella pole is securely fastened to the base.
- Always close and secure the umbrella with tie-down straps during windy conditions.
