Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The parasol is designed for straightforward setup. Insert the pole into a suitable base or through the center of your patio table. Ensure the base is stable and provides adequate support. Use the smooth crank mechanism located on the pole to open the canopy. Adjust the tilt by locating the tilt mechanism, typically a button or lever near the crank, and position the canopy as desired.
Compatibility: This parasol is designed to fit most standard patio table openings (38mm pole diameter). For optimal stability, it is recommended to use a weighted parasol base (minimum recommended weight varies by manufacturer, but typically 15-25kg is advised for this size). The solar lights are powered by an integrated solar panel on the canopy, requiring direct sunlight to charge.
Care: To maintain the parasol's condition, always close it during high winds or inclement weather. Use the provided waterproof Oxford fabric rain cover when the parasol is not in use for extended periods or during adverse weather to protect the canopy and frame from the elements. Clean the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the solar panel for the LED lights is kept clean to maximize charging efficiency. Store in a dry place when not in use during the off-season.
