WARNINGS
General
• Do not use any sharp tools to open the
packaging.
• We strongly advise against using power tools.
• Tripping hazard, mind your step.
• Do not put out cigarettes on the fabric.
• Not grafitti proof.
• To avoid danger of suocation, keep plastic bags
away from babies and children.
• Colours can dier over years and from batch to
batch.
Product
• Anchoring the product has to be done by
qualified people.
• For anchoring: use suitable bolts or screws from
a specialized store depending on the material
your terrace is made of.
• Store the fabric, when not in use for a long
time, as follows: completely dry and in a dry
environment.
• Do not leave the parasol unattended when
mounted.
• Tests in a wind tunnel have shown that the
parasol withstands wind speeds up to 9 on the
Beaufort scale (when anchored to the floor). Still,
it is best to disassemble it sooner (from wind
speed 6 is the rule of thumb).
PU-coated polyester
• Shake or brush o loose dirt immediately.
• We strongly advise you not to use a high-pressure
hose for cleaning.
Powder-coating
• White powder-coating requires more
maintenance.
• Do not use abrasive scouring powders or
scourers as they will scratch the surface.
• Colour can fade to some extent when exposed to
UV.
• Flame retarding - NEN-EN13501-1 A2-sl -
Satisfying the same criteria as Class B for the
SBI-test according to EN13823. In addition,
under conditions of a fully developed fire these
products will nog significantly contribute to the
fire load and fire growth.
• Dark colors can get very hot in sunny weather.
Stainless steel
• Very good UV colour fastness.
• Flame retarding: NEN-EN13501-1 A1 - Class A1
products will not contribute to fire in any stage,
including fully developed fire. For this reason,
they are assumed to be capable of satisfying all
requirements of all lower classes as well.
• Watch out, stainless steel isn’t entirely rustproof!
Be sure to avoid contact with iron objects. If it
does show signs of rust, clean with rust remover
as quickly as possible.
Galvanised steel
• Galvanisation will become less shiny when used
outdoors.
• Flame retarding - NEN-EN13501-1 A1 - Class A1
products will not contribute to fire in any stage,
including fully developed fire. For this reason,
they are assumed to be capable of satisfying all
requirements of all lower classes as well.
• Possible impurities in the immersion tank can
cause black marks during galvanization, which
are intrinsic to this industrial finishing technique.
• White marks on this zinc layer are also intrinsic
to this procedure and will disappear when the
furniture is put outdoors.
• This industrial finishing technique may result in a
rougher surface. This is intrinsic to the process.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Acacia - p14
1. a. Floor fastening. Place the stainless steel tube
on the desired place and mark te places on the
floor where the floor fastening is to be located.
Remove the tube and now drill at the places
marked. Now place the tube back and attach

stainless steel tube on top of the two base plates
and make sure the holes of the tube match with
the large holes of the second base plate. Mount
the stainless steel tube on it with 3 bolts M6x25.
Attention: Make sure that you fix the bolts in the
thread of the first base plate as shown on the
drawing!
d. parasol base heavy duty. Place one of the three
galvanised base plates on the ground. Then
position the second base plate on top of it, make
sure the large holes match the smaller holes with
thread of the first base plate. Now you also place
the third base plate on top of the other two plates,
make sure the large holes match the large holes
of the second bae plate. Now place the stainless
steel tube on top of the three base plates and
make sure the holes of the tube match with the
large holes of the upper base plate. Mount the
stainless steel tube on it with 3 bolts M6x35. Let
op: Make sure that you fix the bolts in the thread
of the first base plate as shown on the drawing!
2. Slide the central tube (with crown) in the stainless
steel tube and fix the height adjustment knob at
the height of the middle position as shown on the
drawing. Do not tighten this yet.
3. Put the central tube on the lowest position.
4. Remove the bolt in the crown by the handle as
shown on the drawing.
5. Now mount two set screws each to all baleens as
shown on the drawing. Attention: make sure they
don’t protrude.
6. Mount the baleens in the crown. Attention: make
sure the number of lines of the baleens match
the number of holes on the crown. Fix these
by tightening the set screws as shown on the
drawing.
7. Attach the parasol canopy (random order). Put
your finger in the loop and pull the stainless steel
sail eye over the end of the baleen. Do this for
all the baleens. Attention: de loop of the canopy

CLEANING
When dirty
If the whole parasol fabric looks dirty despite
the extreme fabric quality, the ultimate rescue is
machine cleaning your parasol fabric on 60°.
Hang it on the frame to dry.
Do not iron and do not use chlorine bleach or strong
chemical cleaning fluids.
Powder-coating
CLEANING
Regularly
Use Extremis Multicleaner, a 100% biodegradable
detergent or common kitchen cleaning products.
Avoid using aggressive products. These surfaces are
best cleaned with a neutral cleaning product diluted
in water.
REMOVING STAINS
Only if nothing else helps
The magic eraser gets rid of most stubborn stains
without eort. Only if stubborn stains remain visible
after treatment according to the instructions, you
can use the Extremis Magic Eraser sponge. This
sponge is made of melamine resin and wears away
with use. The sponge is very easy to use and gives
results up to 26 times faster than a traditional
microfibre cloth. The magic sponge is the solution
for getting rid of stubborn stains such as felt-tip
pens, grease, scu marks, limescale marks or coee
and tea stains. The magic sponge can be used
on tarpaulin fabric, plastic profiles, glass, steel,
chrome, aluminium, porcelain, artificial leather and
many types of floor.
REPAIRING DAMAGED POWDER-COATING
When damaged
The impact of sharp objects can damage the
coating. Scratches or dents can be touched up with
our paint pens. However this only camouflages the
scratches without removing them.

DAY TO DAY CLEANING
Regularly and after every use
Clean with lukewarm water and a mild detergent or
Extremis Multi Cleaner.
REGULAR CLEANING
When dirty
We advise regular cleaning with Inox Cleaner and
Protector.

REPARING DAMAGED PARTS WITH ZINC SPRAY
When damaged
Hot dip galvanisation is the most durable way
of protecting metal against rusting. If the zinc
coating is damaged, the exposed metal can rust.
This can easily be touched up with zinc paint that
automatically has the same colour and is readily
available in shops. Zinc spray forms a quick drying,
self healing and flexible coating that helps stop
corrosion.
HOW TO USE?
HOW CAN I ADJUST ACACIA IN HEIGHT?
First loosen the height adjustment knob if you want
to adjust the parasol in height. Hold the central
tube with one or two hands and “hook” the height
adjustment knob at the desired height (see step 8).
Now you can tighten the adjustment knob again to
secure your Acacia more securely.
HOW CAN I DIRECT ACACIA?
By loosening the handle, you can direct Acacia to
your desired direction (see step 9).
HOW CAN I DEMOUNT THE PARASOL CANOPY?
The easiest way to disassemble the canopy is by
lowering the central tube to the lowest position. This
allows you to have better access to the baleens. Now
grab the baleen with one hand by pulling the loop
of the canopy with your other hand. Tip: start on the
lowest side of the canopy.
Now you can store the canopy, completely dry, in the
delivered storage bag.
