Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable in the wind.
Ensure the parasol base is sufficiently heavy and securely fastened. Consider using a heavier base or additional weights. Retract the parasol during strong winds.
Crank mechanism is difficult to operate.
Check for any obstructions in the mechanism. Ensure the pole is straight and not binding. Lubricate the moving parts of the crank lightly if necessary.
Canopy fabric has developed mildew.
Clean the affected area with a mild detergent and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow the canopy to air dry completely before closing or storing.
Parasol will not stay tilted.
Ensure the button for the tilting mechanism is fully engaged. Check for any damage to the tilting joint or mechanism.
