Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Assemble the cross base pieces according to the provided instructions.
- Position the assembled cross base where you intend to place your parasol.
- Open the fillable compartments of the base.
- Carefully fill the base with water or sand. Sand is recommended for maximum stability. Ensure the filling port is securely closed afterwards.
- Insert your parasol pole into the designated central opening.
- Tighten any securing mechanisms on the parasol pole to ensure it fits snugly within the base.
Compatibility:
This base is designed for cantilever parasols. It is essential to verify that your parasol's pole diameter fits within the central opening of the base. The base's primary function is to provide weight and stability, making it suitable for offset or cantilever models which require a wider stance and more secure anchoring than traditional center-pole umbrellas.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Periodically check that the filling ports are securely closed.
- Ensure the base remains properly filled, especially during periods of expected wind.
