OPENING THE WINDMASTER CANTILEVER
NOTE: The Winder Handle will become a little
harder to wind as the umbrella nears fully
open. This is normal particularly when the
acrylic canvas is new.
• Remove the strap from the canopy.
• Gently spread the canopy arms open
with your hand. (Figure A)
• Ensure the slider car knob (18) is loose
and slider car can move freely (Figure
B). Insert the winder handle (26) into the
hole on the side of the mast and rotate in
a clockwise direction.
• Continue winding until the canopy is fully
open. The bottom hub (6) will be seated
into the hub tube (9) and the edge of the
canopy should be tight (Figure C).
• The tilt angle of the canopy can be
adjusted as required at any time by
loosening the slider car knob (18) and
sliding the slider car up and down the
mast.
IMPORTANT: The slider car knob (18) must be
securely tightened, especially when used in
higher winds.
NOTE: The optimum strength of the umbrella
is reached only when the slider car is at its
maximum height and the umbrella canopy
edge is horizontal to the ground. The strength
of the umbrella is lessened when the canopy
is in an angled position and wind damage is
more likely.
• Once the canopy is fully opened hold the
slider car knob (18) and push the slider
car up until the canopy is at the desired
tilt angle. Tighten slider car knob (18)
clockwise to secure the umbrella at that
angle.

CLOSING THE WINDMASTER CANTILEVER
• Turn the slider car tilt knob (18) count-
er-clockwise (Figure A) until loose.
Rotate the winder handle (26) in a
counter-clockwise direction. The canopy
will begin to collapse. Continue winding
in a counter-clockwise direction until the
canopy is mostly closed and the canopy
arms are pointing almost vertically down
to the ground.
• Hold the slider car tilt knob and pull the
slider car down the mast towards the
ground. The canopy should now be fully
closed. Reach around with one arm and
pull the canopy back towards the mast to
complete closing.
• FOLDING THE CANOPY NEATLY: Stand
in front of the canopy and find the front
four panels of fabric. Pull these together
towards your body and alternate folding
over remaining panels from left to right
with the sixth, seventh and eighth panel.
(Figure B)
• FITTING THE PROTECTIVE COVER:
Stand in front of the folded canopy
and open the cover bag zip completely.
Use the handle rod to lift the protective
cover behind the mast and up as high as
possible to clear the top of the umbrella.
Pull the protective cover down over the
top of the mast and canopy. Zip the
cover closed. The zipper should be on the
front side of the canopy, not at the back
of the mast.
