NOVA HD HEAVY-DUTY
COMMERCIAL UMBRELLA
Congratulations on purchasing your Nova HD umbrella.
The Nova HD is manufactured using the best materials and fabrics and is designed
to give you many years of trouble free use and enjoyment. The following information
is to inform you on how to operate your Nova HD umbrella correctly. Please follow
these instructions as they are designed to assist operation and prolong the life of the
umbrella.

www.instantshadeumbrellas.com.au
Once you have erected the umbrella if you nd it is still not completely squared o to
your area, you can always turn the umbrella 90° degrees on the spigot and re-drill a
new spigot hole through the steel spigot inside the umbrella (a good quality 12mm drill
bit and high powered drill will be required).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Your Nova HD umbrella comes fully assembled in the box. Before you can erect and set
up your Nova HD umbrella you will need to install the required base tting which is
either a base plate or inground tting. Prior to xing the base plate or inground tting
please read the following important information.
Alignment of the base tting to face the umbrella in the correct direction
There are 4 x threaded holes in the centre area of the 400mm diameter base plate and
on the top of the inground tting sleeve plate and these are called the threaded spigot
holes.
Before installing your base plate or inground tting, draw an imaginary straight line
through two sets of threaded spigot holes. This will be the direction of one of the
at sides of your umbrella. Use these imaginary lines to square o your base tting
installation. This is of particular relevance when installing square shape umbrellas and
not as important with an octagonal umbrella.

BASE PLATE INSTALLATION
There are 2 ways to install your base plate depending what you are xing to. Select
which is applicable for your situation.
1 Fixing the base plate to a timber deck:
If you wish to install your Nova HD umbrella onto a timber deck then the following
installation method should be adhered to. Your base plate must be bolted to the frame
of the deck and not only to the deck planking. You need to fasten 2 or 3 “nogs” or
“braces” between the deck joists or bearers that form the structural frame of the deck.
The nogs need to cover the area under the base plate. They must be secured hard up
under the deck planking and between the deck bearers and fastened to the deck frame
with fasteners. The fasteners may be large galvanised nails, Z nails, builders brackets or
similar. The base plate should now be set in the required position and bolted through
the deck planking and the xed braces by using at least 12mm countersunk 150mm
stainless steel bolts and nylocks with a large washer on the underside.
It is recommended to seek the advice of a builder or engineer especially when
installing larger 4m or 5m size Nova HD umbrellas onto a deck or when the umbrella
will be in a high wind zone.

2 Fixing the base plate to a concrete slab:
When installing your umbrellas on a concrete surface x the base plate to the concrete
using 6 galvanised or stainless concrete screw xings. The concrete slab should
be at least 150mm thick. The xings used should be at least 75mm long (100mm
recommended) and 10mm in diameter.

www.instantshadeumbrellas.com.au
INGROUND INSTALLATION
Fixing into lawn, soil or patio:
When installation is required in soil or lawn etc. then an inground tting must be used.
This is a galvanised steel tting which must be concreted into position. Terrain diers
from thick clay to sand or ne soil so a dierent sized hole must be prepared and a
dierent volume of concrete used to suit. As a guide only a hole 500mm x 500mm x
700mm deep is a minimum requirement for heavy clay soil terrain. Even then a post
hole borer can be used to deepen the centre of the footing. When pouring the concrete
it is advisable to drop a few lengths of reinforcing steel bar into the hole to prevent
the concrete from cracking. Remember that depth of hole is better than width and it is
much easier to make the hole over-size than to try to re-stabilise the inground tting
should it start to move over time. Pavers may need to be removed to facilitate this
inground tting and then cut to suit when replaced.
When setting the inground tting in the concrete you must ensure the tting is 100%
level. Allow adequate time for the concrete to cure before installing the umbrella. This
depends on the cure time of the concrete but is normally about 7 days.
Important: Prior to install the inground please ensure you have read the paragraph section “Alignment of the base
tting...” On page 3.
Tip: To ensure that concrete does not come up the threaded spigot holes
in the inground tting it is advisable to put the supplied spigot bolts into
the required threaded spigot holes (if they do not already have a threaded
guard in the hole). It’s also recommended to apply some tape over the
underside of the holes as a precaution.

Opening the umbrella for the rst time:
When the umbrella is being opened for the rst time, ensure the strap and all packaging
and wrapping material has been removed. There may be some wrapping material on
the canopy arms underneath the fabric canopy - partially open the umbrella and get
in underneath the fabric canopy to remove all this wrapping before fully opening the
umbrella.
Important: The umbrella support arms are tted with PLASTIC SLIDING SPACERS. The
spacers help to keep the arms spread apart when the umbrella is closed. This will make
it easier to open next time is it used and to prevent the arms getting “stuck” down when
trying to open the umbrella. When the umbrella is packaged for shipping the spacers
are not engaged and are located at the lower end of the support arms. Before using the
umbrella for the rst time you must engage the spacers into the pre-drilled locking
holes by sliding each spacer into position up the umbrella arms. A barrell bolt is
supplied to secure each spacer in place.
To erect the Nova HD Umbrella:
1. Attach the hinged spigot to the base plate or inground
tting with the one smaller stainless steel spigot bolt
supplied with your umbrella.
2. Use the hinge to lie the spigot horizontally. Using
several people to assist, hold the umbrella almost
horizontal and then slide the umbrella over the internal
spigot.
3. Secure the umbrella to the spigot by inserting the
supplied locking bolt through the hole in the mast and
spigot, and then tighten up the nut.
4. Lift the umbrella up into a vertical position using the
hinge. Secure the hinged spigot to the base plate using
the four supplied stainless steel spigot bolts and allen
key.
Note: Installation is recommended as a three person operation.
SETTING UP YOUR NOVA HD UMBRELLA
Once you have xed the base tting correctly you can erect the umbrella by following
the below instructions.

OPERATING YOUR NOVA HD UMBRELLA
To open the Nova HD umbrella:
• If opening the umbrella for the rst time please refer to the section called
“opening the umbrella for the rst time”.
• Remove the strap from the canopy.
• Insert the winder handle into the winder hole on the mast and rotate in a clockwise
direction.
• Continue winding until the canopy is fully open and taut. Never over wind or force
the winder beyond a moderate amount of pressure. 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 or PVC canopy is new.
• The winder handle may be removed if desired as a safety and security feature.
To close the Nova HD umbrella:
• Insert the winder handle and rotate in an anti-clockwise direction.
• Pull the canopy out from within the arms to safeguard against “pinching” of the
canvas within the umbrella frame. This is done by pulling the canvas to the outside
of the frame using your hand to pull the excess in each of the 8 sections of frame.
Then fold it left over right etc. Refer to Page 12 .
• Put the canopy strap securely around both the mast and canopy frame.
• If you purchased a protective cover bag (optional) then t over the mast and frame
and zip up.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
You will get maximum benet from your umbrella when you use it in accordance with
our instructions and in the weather conditions for which it was designed.
General Information:
• Do not leave the umbrella open when unattended, particularly in windy conditions.
• The umbrella should be closed and securely strapped in strong winds and adverse
weather conditions.
• Always secure your umbrella to an appropriate footing/ base.
• Any modications to your umbrella, except those made by an authorised Instant
Shade agent, may invalidate the warranty.
• Make sure the umbrella is dry and clean prior to storing away for extended periods
of time to prevent mould from developing.

9
www.instantshadeumbrellas.com.au
• Be careful when closing the umbrella to ensure that the canopy does not get
caught or “pinched” by the umbrella arms. This is particularly import before storing
the umbrella away for extended periods of time or if the umbrella is to be laid
horizontally for storage. Damage to the fabric caused by “pinching” is not covered
by warranty.
Maintenance instructions for your Nova HD:
• In coastal or metropolitan environments it is benecial to wash of any dirt, pollen
and salt residue from the umbrella frame and fabric using a hose or soft bristle
brush.
• Periodic spraying of silicon spray into the gear box through the winder hole will
assist operation and prolong the life of the winder unit.
• If you have purchased a protective cover bag it is advisable to use it if the umbrella
is not to be used for some time. The umbrella must be dry before being packed in a
cover bag.
• Inspect the installation tting/ base on a regular basis and tighten as necessary.
• Periodically check all the connecting brackets and joints of the umbrella to ensure
that all bolts/ ttings are tight and secure. Tighten any bolts as required.
Care and Cleaning of Acrylic fabric:
• Proper care and clearing should be taken to ensure the life of outdoor fabric. For
regular care and maintenance, excessive dirt should be brushed from the fabric
using a soft brush; the fabric should be then sprayed with water (not exceeding
100°F / 40°C) and air-dried.
• Periodically the fabric should undergo a more thorough cleaning by applying a
gentle non-detergent soap using a soft bristled brush or cloth, thoroughly rinse out
all soap residue with fresh water and then air-dry. Do not use solvents or abrasive
detergents to wash fabric.
• Is it recommended that after thorough cleaning that you apply a fabric protectant
such as “303 Fabric Guard” or “Scotch Guard” to the fabric to restore the original
protective water resistance coating.
• Fabric should never be stored or stowed while wet, always ensure fabric is
thoroughly dried before storing for extended periods of time.
• Any early signs of mould and mildew must be removed immediately.
