Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable or wobbly.
Ensure the parasol is used with a heavy and appropriate parasol base. Check that the pole is securely tightened within the base.

Ensure the parasol canopy is fully open and that the ribs are correctly extended. Lubricate the crank mechanism sparingly with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary. Check for any obstructions.
