Please adhere to these common sense wind guidelines:
1. Do not keep the Shade Umbrella in a tilt position if you are experiencing windy conditions.
2. As winds get stronger or in anticipation of uncertain/severe weather conditions, the canopy should be
lowered to the folded position and strapped to the mast.
3. The Shade Umbrella should always be left in the folded and strapped position when unattended or not in use.

COMPONENTS, FITTINGS & HARDWARE
$ MAST: The SHADE MAST (2) must be assembled to the base by n.5 screws. The plate of the MAST (2) is 145 mm in
diameter and 12 mm thick and it has 5 holes where to insert 5 bolts. Please, see the assembly instructions included in
the basement carton box.
% BOLTS: Five (5) countersunk BOLTS are used to bolt the MAST (2) to the BASE (1). BOLTS are 20mm in length.
[M10X20].
& LOCATOR PIN: When the LOCATOR PIN (4) is inserted through the MAST (2), it locks the MAST (2) into place. The
TURNING HANDLE (7) is located below the LOCATOR PIN (4). When the LOCATOR PIN (4) is pulled out, the
TURNING HANDLE (7) can be lifted to rotate the MAST (2) to one of 12 holes, allowing the SHADE to rotate 360
degrees around the mast.
' CRANK: The CRANK (3) facilitates the opening and closing of the SHADE canopy structure. It must be assembled to
the MAST by a screw and hexagonal key.
( SPACER BUTTONS: Eight (8) SPACER BUTTONS are inserted into predrilled holes on the arms. SPACER
BUTTONS must be left inserted at all times as they ensure the SHADE canopy structure opens easily by not allowing the
arms to get locked down.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure proper installation, please carefully follow these instructions before installing your BASE
PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE SHADE
If the exact position of the SHADE canopy (when in the open position) is important to you, it is imperative that the
installation fitting (BASE) is properly aligned. Please read the instructions below to ensure that your canopy hangs in
the desired position.
BASE INSTALLATION
Please, keep the umbrella closed and tied up with the strap to avoid that it can be opened during the assembling
process.
CAP ASSEMBLING
SHADE is provided with the not-assembled aluminium CAP, which need to protect the top fabric cover from any injure.
Before installing the SHADE and the basement, it needs to assemble the CAP by screw and hexagonal key. To
assemble the cap we suggest to put the umbrella over the carton board of the packaging to avoid any injures to the
fabric cover.
CRANK ASSEMBLING
Once that you have installed the BASE with the umbrella, you can assemble the CRANK, before opening SHADE.
To assemble the CRANK you need a screw (without head) and hexagonal key you can find in the assembly kit.
You have to put the CRANK into the BRASS INSERT and fix it tightening the screw by the hexagonal key.

TO OPEN THE SHADE CANOPY
The following instructions will walk you through the sequential progression of opening the SHADE canopy
structure as shown in the diagram. At any time, you may skip a position and open to the desired position.
OPEN TO THE FIRST POSITION
1. Remove the strap that holds the SHADE to the MAST(2) when in the closed position.
2. Make sure your SLIDER CAR STOP PIN(5) is pulled out, and the PIN is in horizontal position.
3. Turn clockwise the CRANK(3) until the canopy is not tight. Therefore, move upward the SLIDER CAR STOP PIN (5),
keeping the PIN in horizontal position up to it doesn't come into the lower hole automatically. Now umbrella is in TILT
POSITION 1.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
By now you have installed your BASE )5$0( with *UDQLWHWLOHV, bolted your MAST to the BASE)5$0(. The
LOCATOR PIN(4) should be inserted through the MAST(2).
If the MAST is properly seated and the LOCATOR PIN properly inserted, the SHADE art.981 will not rotate or lift.
You are now ready to operate your SHADE.
Your SHADE art.981 has 3 positions: Tilt Position 1, Tilt Position 2, Horizontal Position 3.
Closed 1 2 3
CAUTION:
NEVER FORCE THE ARMS OPEN IF YOU FEEL RESISTANCE IN THE WINDER! If you feel resistance in the crank,
you should manually pull out a few arms to help facilitate winding. Once the canopy is open, look up into the arms to
confirm all seven (7) SPACER BUTTONS are inserted. Please, replace the seven (7) SPACER BUTTONS already
assembled to the arms with the seven (7) SPACER BUTTONS you can find in the assembly kit. Until you have not
installed all seven (7) SPACER BUTTONS, continue to manually pull out a few arms with each opening to facilitate
windin
g
open the canopy. The SHADE warranty does not cover repairs resultin
g
from not havin
g
all seven SPACER
BUTTONS of the assembly kit inserted.
OPEN TO THE SECOND POSITION
1. Turn SLIDER CAR STOP PIN (5) in horizontal position and pull it out of the MAIN POLE (2).
2. Make SLIDER CAR STOP PIN (5) slide upward, up to the PIN doesn't come into the next hole in the MAIN POLE (2)
automatically.
3. Once it is inserted in the MAIN POLE (2), turn SLIDER CAR STOP PIN in vertical position to block the umbrella
position. Now umbrella is in TILT POSITION 2 .
OPEN TO THE THIRD POSITION
1. Repeat steps 1-2 outlined above.
2. The canopy will now be in HORIZONTAL POSITION.
HELPFUL HINT:
At any time, you may skip a position and open to the desired position by keepin
g
pulled-out the SLIDER CAR STOP PIN,
and rotating PIN in vertical position . In this position, the pin will NOT autolocate as it passes over the predetermined
holes.
If you choose to pass the tilt position(s) and go directly to the horizontal canopy position, you have to open wholly
umbrella up to canopy is tight, keeping SLIDER CAR STOP PIN (5) outside of the MAIN POLE (2) and in vertical
position. Therefore you have to move the SLIDER CAR STOP PIN (5) upward.
Be careful, before getting the HORIZONTAL POSITION you have to turn the SLIDER CAR STOP PIN (5) in horizontal
position to make the PIN come into the MAIN POLE automatically. Once it is inserted, turn SLIDER CAR STOP PIN (5)
in vertical position to fix umbrella position. If you skip last hole in the MAIN POLE (2) during the sliding of the SLIDER
CAR STOP PIN (5), turn in horizontal position and move downward the SLIDER CAR STOP PIN (5) up to PIN doesn't
come into the hole automatically.
CLOSING OF THE UMBRELLA
In every moment you can come back to the previous umbrella position, moving SLIDER CAR STO PIN (5) downward
along the MAIN POLE (2), after having pulled SLIDER CAR STOP PIN (5) out of the MAIN POLE (2) and kept it in
horizontal position. During the closing process you need to move downward the SLIDER CAR STOP PIN (5), keeping it
outside of the MAIN POLE (2) in vertical position and turning anticlockwise the CRANCK (3) .

MAINTAINING THE SHADE FRAME & FITTINGS
1. Hose mast and frame with water periodically, more often if installation is in a salty or industrial environ
ment. Please, do not use aggressive chemical liquids or sea water.
2. Inspect the installation fitting on a regular basis and tighten if necessary.
3. Lubricate the track and slider car mechanism as needed to enhance the ease of operation. Silicon spray
or WD40 is recommended. (Spray 3-4 times per year)
MAINTAINING THE SHADE CANOPY FABRIC
1. Clean up spills and stains right away. Spills can be removed by using a clean, absorbent cloth.
2. For general maintenance, use a soft brush to remove dust and dry soil or wash down with clean, warm
water (i.e.
g
arden hose) every so often so dirt does not become in
g
rained. Allow the fabric to dr
y
naturally before closing the canopy.
3. If a thorough cleaning is necessary, sponge over the fabric using a mild soap solution (2% solution).
Rinse well with plenty of water to remove all soap residues.
4. Never use detergents, cleaning fluids or solvents. Grease and oil stains may be removed by using
turpentine or similar with an absorbent cloth.
5. We recommend giving the canopy a good cleaning on a more frequent basis if installed in a location
where the canopy is likely to become soiled.
