Troubleshooting

Ensure the crank mechanism is clear of debris. Check that the canopy is fully dry and not snagging on anything. Lubricate the crank mechanism slightly if it feels stiff.

Verify that the parasol is seated correctly in a stable base of adequate weight (minimum 9kg recommended). Ensure the tilt mechanism is locked securely.
