CAUTION: To reduce personal injury and damage to your AG7813, read and follow this
assembly and operation guide We recommend a two-person team for assembly and

IMPORTANT: Prior to assembly it is important to decide on the location of the AG7813

• Allow ample height to avoid damage to your umbrella during assembly and usage.
• Choose a location that is level and sturdy.
• Avoid any sloping or soft ground.
• Consider a location that will maximize the umbrella’s rotating swivel function. Placing
the AG7813 between two entertaining areas is ideal.
