Troubleshooting
Parasol is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure the parasol is securely fitted into a weighted parasol base. Check that the base is placed on a level surface.
Crank mechanism is stiff or difficult to turn.
Check for any obstructions around the mechanism. Lubricate the moving parts of the crank handle with a suitable lubricant if necessary. Ensure the canopy fabric is not caught.
Canopy fabric is discolored or stained.
Gently clean the fabric with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Parasol does not open or close smoothly.
Inspect the ribs and pole for any bends or damage. Ensure the fabric is not snagged. Operate the crank mechanism slowly and carefully.
