Troubleshooting

Parasol won't stand upright securely.

Ensure the spiked pole is inserted deeply into soft ground or sand. For firmer surfaces or windy conditions, use a parasol anchor screw or a weighted base.

Canopy is difficult to tilt.

Check that the tilt mechanism button is fully pressed and that there are no obstructions. Ensure the pole is not excessively angled, which might restrict the mechanism.

Pole appears to be rusting.

Wipe the pole dry after use and store in a dry location. Minor surface rust can often be gently cleaned with a soft cloth.

Parasol feels unstable in the wind.

Consider using a heavier base or an anchor screw. Close the parasol when winds become too strong to prevent damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The parasol is designed for straightforward assembly. It comes in two main sections. Align the pole sections and screw them together using the integrated plastic connection knob. Once assembled, extend the canopy. If using on soft ground or sand, insert the spiked end of the pole firmly into the desired location. For enhanced stability, especially in breezy conditions or on firmer surfaces, it is recommended to use a parasol anchor screw or a weighted parasol base (sold separately).

Compatibility: This parasol is primarily designed for use on sand, grass, or soil due to its spiked pole. It can be used on patios or decking if placed in a suitable parasol base.

Care: To maintain the parasol's condition, always allow it to dry completely before folding and storing it in the provided bag to prevent mildew. Clean the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid abrasive cleaners. The powder-coated pole offers rust resistance, but it's advisable to wipe it dry after exposure to rain. Store the parasol in a dry place when not in use.
