Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable in wind
Ensure the parasol is fully opened and locked in one of its three positions. For increased stability, consider adding extra weight to the base or securing it further.

Check for any obstructions in the pulley mechanism. Lubricate the rope and pulley wheels with a silicone-based spray if necessary. Ensure the canopy fabric is not caught.
Canvas has developed a mild stain
