FAQs
What is the diameter of the parasol when open?
The parasol has a diameter of 3 meters, providing a wide coverage area.
Does the base come with the parasol?
No, the base is not included with the parasol. A separate, heavy-duty cantilever parasol base is required for stability.
How are the LED lights powered?
The integrated LED lights are powered by a solar panel located on the parasol, requiring sunlight to charge during the day.
Is the canopy material waterproof?
The 180g polyester canopy is water-resistant, suitable for light rain. It is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
How do I clean the parasol canopy?
Clean the canopy with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth or brush. Rinse and allow to dry completely before closing.
Can the cantilever arm be adjusted?
Yes, the adjustable cantilever arm allows you to reposition the canopy easily to maintain optimal shade as the sun moves.
What should I do if the lights aren't working?
Ensure the solar panel is clean and has received sufficient direct sunlight. Check for any light switches and allow the unit to charge fully.
Troubleshooting
Parasol won't open or close smoothly.
Check for any obstructions around the crank mechanism or canopy. Ensure the pole is securely seated in its base. Lubricate the crank mechanism sparingly if necessary.
LED lights are not working or are dim.
Ensure the solar panel is clean and free from debris. Verify the panel is receiving direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours. Check if the on/off switch for the lights (if applicable) is engaged. Allow a full charging cycle.
Parasol feels unstable.
The parasol requires a heavy, dedicated base for stability. Ensure your base is adequate for a 3m cantilever parasol and is properly weighted or secured. Avoid using in high winds.
Canopy shows signs of mildew or staining.
Clean the canopy immediately with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure the parasol is fully dried before closing or storing. If mildew is persistent, a specialized fabric cleaner might be needed.
