Determining the location for the foundation
1. Allow sufficient space between sunshades or between the wall of the building and the
sunshade.
Sunshades that are located too close together wear sooner.
Sunshades may sway slightly. If there is not enough space between them, they
may touch and abrade or scrape the canopy fabric at the spoke ends.
Make sure that there is a clearance of approx. 15 - 20cm between the
sunshades (or between sunshade and the wall of the building).
2. We would like to stress that uneven patios are no problem for us. We are able to
compensate any unevenness of the ground by adjusting the height of each individual
sunshade. Extra length upper anchor tubes are available at 10cm gradation and can be
adjusted and accommodated on location.
Dowelling the anchor plate
1. Screw the upper anchor tube onto the dowel-anchored plate (cf. illus.). Slip the 16mm
washer on the M16x30mm socket head screw and tighten, using the enclosed 14mm hex
key.

Screws that are not tightened correctly will work loose.
If screws are not tightened firmly enough, there will not be sufficient tensile
force to trigger self-locking. If the screws are tightened too firmly and over-
stressed, the screw connection may slacken.
Tighten the screw manually using the enclosed hex key and extension. Exert
as much force as possible. With the enclosed tools there is virtually no risk
of over-stressing.
The correct torque for a torque wrench is 210 Nm.
2. If there is not already a concrete foundation on location, a new one will have to be laid.
Please do not forget to allow for a power cable channel. For width and length of the
foundation consult the chart below. The depth of the foundation will depend on how
sensitive the ground is to frost. We recommend a depth of at least 60 cm.
A falling sunshade can cause serious or even fatal injury.
If the foundation for the lower anchor tube is not dimensioned to match the size
of the umbrella, the sunshade may fall and cause injuries.
Keep to the dimensions specified in the above chart.
In case of poor-quality ground (Soil classification 4 or less), opt for a larger-
size foundation.
The concrete foundation can be damaged by frost.
Temperatures below freezing point may have a negative impact on the concrete
foundation.
Inquire up to what depth the ground of the designated sunshade location is
frost-proof and choose the size of the concrete foundation accordingly.
3. Screw the anchor plate onto the foundation. If you use anchor bolts provided by other
manufacturers, please observe their instructions. Anchor bolts supplied by MAY should be
mounted as follows:
Order No. 200900, threaded bolt with nut, stainless steel A4:

Using a 16 mm hammer drill, drill a min.110 mm-deep hole into the concrete.
Clean the bore hole with compressed air.
Drive the anchor bolt into the hole. Before doing so, be sure to position the hex
nut correctly. (The drive-in pin of the threaded bolt should jut out of the hex nut
approx. 2 - 3 mm.)
Use a torque wrench to tighten the nut with 110 nm.
A falling sunshade can cause serious or even fatal injury.
If the dimensions of the anchor bolts do not match the size of the
umbrella, the sunshade may fall and cause injuries.
Always determine the appropriate bolt size with the help of a specialist.
Anchor bolts of May company are approved for cracked and non-
cracked concrete C20/25 to C50/60. Also suitable for concrete C12/15
and natural stone with dense structure.
4. When choosing the location for the anchor tube, take into consideration that there must be
sufficient space to erect and dismount your sunshade.

5. Check that the upper anchor tube is straight, using a spirit level. (cf. illus.)
Screws that are not tightened correctly will work loose.
If screws are not tightened firmly enough, there will not be sufficient tensile
force to trigger self-locking. If the screws are tightened too firmly and over-
stressed, the screw connection may slacken.
Tighten the screw manually using the enclosed hex key and extension. Exert
as much force as possible. With the enclosed tools there is virtually no risk
of over-stressing.
The correct torque for a torque wrench is 210 Nm.
If the sunshade is to be in a vertical position, the anchor plate must be
dowel-fastened absolutely vertically.
It may be necessary to align the anchor tube with the help of washers.
Power supply
1. The connection of ground cable and power supply for the umbrella must be absolutely
waterproof. The ground cable (for heavy current: min. 5-pole, min. 4mm², cable cross
section) must be laid to suit the electric load and the length of the lead wire by a qualified
electrician.
Electric installation work should be carried out solely by a certified
electrician. Disregarding this warning may result in serious personal
injuries.

To avoid personal injury in case of faults.
Water in the plug connector can lead to a short circuit. Protect the connector
against any water.
Secure umbrella with a 30mA RCBO protective switch.
According to law, the functioning of protective switches must be checked at
least every six months.
Danger of short circuit.
Water in the plug connector can lead to a short circuit. Protect the connector
against any water.
Make sure that the plug connector remains above the ground when the
sunshade is erected, or seal the connector with silicon (or the like) to make it
100% waterproof.
2. Wire colours, (number dependent on load installed):
green-yellow = protection
blue = neutral
brown = light (if used)
black = heating (if used)
black = heating (if used)
Storage/Dismounting
1. Fold down the upper anchor tube. Disconnect the underground cable from the cable in the
sunshade pole. Lift the sunshade out of the anchor foot.
Electric installation work should be carried out solely by a certified
electrician. Disregarding this warning may result in serious personal
injuries.
First unplug the sunshade, then disconnect the ground cable from the
umbrella power cable.
2. Remove the upper anchor tube completely by screwing it off.
3. Screw the top plate onto the lower anchor tube. (cf. illus.)

The thread can get damaged.
When the top plate is not on the lower anchor tube, sand may get washed into
the flanks of the thread. As sand is harder than steel, the thread may get
damaged when the screw is turned.
4. If you have two or more sunshades, it is advisable to mark them and their accessories
(e.g. with metal-stamped numerals or using a waterproof marker) as soon as they have
been dismounted (e.g. for winter storage).
Marking saves a lot of time and helps to keep things in order.
If clearly marked, each sunshade can easily be assigned to its proper location
and re-erected parallel to the wall of the house or next to the others.
For clear and easy later assignment use the same number to mark the centre
pole, the upper anchor tube and the lower anchor tube. For example, for
sunshade No. 1, all three parts should carry number 1, all three parts of
sunshade No. 2 should be marked with a 2, etc.
5. Grease the screws regularly to prevent them from rusting.
