FAQs
What size parasol base do I need?
A heavy-duty cantilever parasol base is strongly recommended due to the size and cantilever design of this parasol. The exact weight required can vary, but a minimum of 100-150kg is typically advised for stability.
How long do the solar LED lights last on a full charge?
The integrated 24 white LED lights can provide up to 10 hours of illumination after a full charge, which typically takes about 5 hours of direct sunlight.
Is the parasol waterproof?
The canopy is made of 160G polyester, which offers water resistance. However, it is not designed to withstand prolonged heavy rain or storms. It is best to close and store the parasol in such conditions.
What are the dimensions of the parasol?
The parasol has a canopy diameter of 3 meters and a height of 2.4 meters.
Can I use this parasol without the lights on?
Yes, the LED lighting system is separate from the main function of providing shade. You can choose to use the shade function without activating the lights.
Does the parasol come with a base?
No, a parasol base is not included with this product. A suitable and stable base is essential for safety and is sold separately.
How do I clean the solar panel?
The solar panel can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before the next charging cycle. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Troubleshooting
Solar lights not illuminating
Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight for at least 5 hours daily. Check that the lights are switched on (if applicable) and that the internal battery is charged. If issues persist, check connections or contact customer support.
Parasol feels unstable
This indicates the need for a heavier or more appropriate parasol base. Ensure the base is correctly assembled and filled (if applicable) and that the parasol pole is securely fastened within the base.
Canopy fabric is dirty
Gently clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely before closing or storing.
Parasol is difficult to open or close
Check for any obstructions around the mechanism. Ensure the pole is securely seated in the base. Lubricate the mechanism lightly if recommended by the manufacturer (check manual).
