Cleaning the canopy
The MAY company wants to support sustainability. Cleaning and repair save the resources of our planet.
Therefore, before buying a new canopy please check whether cleaning may extend the durability of the
existing one. Additionally, small holes may be repaired, see page 4.
Cleaning by the customer / dealer:
1. Use CleanoMay 13 article no. 350848 to
• Spray onto the surface and soak for approx. 10 minutes or
• mix it into a high-pressure cleaner, follow the instruction on the label,
e.g. for mixing ratio.
2. Carefully clean the canopy with a high-pressure cleaner.
Caution
Cleaning the canopy may damage the canopy
If the set temperature or the pressure at the jet nozzle is too high or the distance
between canopy and jet nozzle is too small, the fabric may get irreparably
damaged.
Specially to protect the waterproofing please consider:
• Temperature maximum 30° Celsius.
• Pressure maximum 30 bar.
• Distance from nozzle to fabric minimum 30 cm.
3. After cleaning set the temperature on “cold” and spray as long there is no visible foam (you may have to
remove the cleanser from the high-pressure cleaner).
4. Let the parasol get dry in open position to avoid crinkling.
Cleaning by a service provider:
Only authorise a service provider if they are experienced in cleaning sun protection fabrics. Inappropriate
cleaning may damage the fabric or threads.

Repairing the holes
Repairing damaged spots with patches of original material is reasonable. However, depending on the
amount of daylight or backlight the patches appear as dark shades. Follow the instructions below for a
proper repair:
1. Identify the type of fabric and the colour of the original canopy.
The patches should be of the same material as the original
canopy. Even if the canopy no longer looks like the new origi-
nal material due to abrasion, the original material and colour
will still be the best matching choice. There are several opti-
ons to find out the original material:
• You will find the fabric number in the product description
indicated on the order confirmation or invoice.
• In case of recent parasols you will find the fabric number
at the sewed-on MAY label. MAY label
• By indicating the serial number (see serial plate at the
centre pole), your MAY consultant can identify the fabric
number accordingly.
• Photos are not true to colour and therefore are not
recommended. Even modern cameras are not save.
Different exposure times or special filters distort the
results. If photos are still used for fabric identification
the MAY company won’t assume any guarantee. There is
no return, change or compensation of additional costs
possible.
Serial number
2. To make sure the fabric glue provides good adhesion a decent area of fabric must be moistened.
Approximately 1 cm around the hole should be glued on.

4. Get the fabric glue. You can order the suitable textile glue for the original canopies at the MAY
company. A tube contains 30 g and is adequate for several DIN-A4 patches.
• Textile glue article no. 200131
5. Open the MAY parasol completely to avoid crinkles or waves at the patch.
6. Use a free standing-ladder for the repair (double ladder).

Removing the canopy
Danger
Wind can turn a loose canopy into a sail.
If wind blows into an unsecured canopy, it may fly away with enormous power.
This may cause personal injury or material damage to the frame or surrounding
obstacles.
• Remove the canopy only if there is no wind.
1. The canopy can be removed at the standing parasol.
2. Open the parasol approximately half-way.
3. Remove the end caps. Until 2017 a connector system was assembled, therefore, the end caps can easily
be pulled off.

Unpacking the canopy
1. Open the box.
Caution
Using a knife for opening and removing of the packaging may damage the
canopy.
• Do not use a knife or any sharp object to remove the packaging.
2. Take the canopy out of the box.
Danger
Putting the canopy down to the floor may damage the canopy or it may get dirty.
Also, the own weight may cause cuts or abrasions.
• Put the canopy onto a soft mat (e.g. onto a carpet).
Attaching the canopy
Danger
Wind can turn a loose canopy into a sail.
If wind blows into an unsecured canopy, it may fly away with enormous power.
This may cause personal injury or material damage to the frame or surrounding
obstacles.
• Attach the canopy only if there is no wind.
1. The canopy is attached to the standing parasol.

2. Use a free standing-ladder for assembly (double ladder).
Danger
Inappropriate use of a ladder can cause personal injury and material damage.
If a ladder is positioned insecure or laid-out too weak, you may fall off the ladder.
• Use a free-standing ladder (double ladder).
• Make sure the ladder is in good condition.
• Make sure the ladder stands straight on solid ground.
• Follow the instructions of the ladder manufacturer.
3. Clean the parasol frame.
Caution
The new canopy may get dirty.
If the parasol frame is not cleaned before attaching the new canopy, the new
canopy will most likely get dirty. It is very difficult to keep the canopy clean in case
of a dirty frame (not cleaned) or dirty hands. Therefore, a complete cleaning of
the frame is urgently recommended.
• CleanoMay 13 article no. 350848 is suitable for cleaning the frame, even in
case of persistent dust and dirt.
• Step onto the free-standing ladder and check the parasol frame from the top.
Any dirt you see may make the canopy dirty. Make sure to clean these parts
completely.
4. After cleaning the parasol frame, wash your hands and use protective gloves to prevent the canopy from
getting dirty.
5. Open the parasol frame approximately half-way (see fig., below 7.).

6. Protect the new canopy from possible damage.
Danger
Sharp objects may damage the canopy.
In rare cases, there are sharp edges at the upper part of the parasol frame. If the
new canopy is pulled over these edges without protection, it may cause abrasions
or cuts. Prevent this by taking one of the following precautions:
• Put a “plastic end cap“ onto each nut. You can use regular M10, commercially
available or you order them at the MAY company. See list “spare parts: type
SCHATTELLO“, e.g. in white, article no. 353969.
• Pull the MAY protection cover over the parasol frame; article no. 357905.
• In case you must improvise, create your own protection cover. Several
shopping bags (cotton bags, one upon the other, fixed with sewing thread) may
be functional as well.

7. Use a free-standing ladder to put the canopy cantered on top of the parasol frame.
8. Spread the canopy. Top and bottom side differ in the hook position. The hooks are sewed to the bottom
part.
9. There is an opening in the centre of the canopy, put it at this point over the parasol frame.
10. Only for square or rectangular parasols, alignment of the spokes:
Make sure to attach the hooks at the suitable spokes. For orientation, there are marks at the canopy.
These must be arranged in accordance to the spokes.
D = diagonal spoke
KM = short centre spoke
LM = long centre spoke

Unless each hook is attached, the wind load cannot be absorbed properly. This
leads to premature wear and tear.
• Make sure each hook is attached. Double check this after completing these
instructions.
