Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable or tips over.
Ensure the included base is completely filled with sand or water. Check that the parasol pole is securely fastened to the base. In very windy conditions, consider closing the parasol or securing it further.
Parasol mechanism is stiff or difficult to open/close.
Check for any obstructions around the push-button mechanism. Ensure the canopy is not caught on anything. Lightly lubricate the mechanism if necessary, following care instructions.
