Mobelli One Touch Maintenance manual

CARE & MAINTENANCE FOR YOUR
One Touch Umbrella

As durable as the One Touch Umbrella is, it needs to be looked after as it’s not indestructible. It needs to
be protected from high winds and needs to be maintained, especially if it’s exposed to coastal conditions.
These harsh conditions will cause it to rust if it is not maintained in the correct manner. Please read these
maintenance instructions carefully.
HOW TO CARE FOR
YOUR ONE TOUCH
UMBRELLA
1. Foot stopper – The foot stopper is pressed
when swivelling the umbrella 360 degrees.
For this to continue working efficiently it
needs to be maintained. The mechanism
has a metal spring which needs to be
lubricated and protected from rust using
a rust preventer. If moisture enters this
area it will rust over time. By using a rust
preventer, the lifespan of the spring will
be a lot longer. If you live on the coast, it
is recommended that this is done weekly
due to the harsh conditions.
2. Screw wells with wheels – The screw wells come with round plastic caps which prevent water from entering
them. If these caps are not kept on top of the wells, water and moisture collects inside the wells, causing
them to rust. Do ensure the plastic caps are always in place to prevent this.
There are wheels connected to the end of the screw well, which make it easy to move the base around.
The screw wells need to be lubricated on a regular basis to prevent rust from setting in and need to be
turned regularly to ensure that they are kept loose and in good working order. If you live on the coast, it is
recommended that this is done weekly due to the harsh conditions.
When you want to move the umbrella, lower the wheels and move it into your desired location, but
remember the wheels always need to be screwed back into the base when the umbrella is stationary so
that it doesn’t move due to wind. This also protects the wheels from being exposed to moisture.
This is an OTU base which has rusted due
to sea air (salinity) and a clear indication
that it hasn’t been maintained correctly.

WHEN ITS WINDY:
We always recommend when it’s windy you close your umbrella and put the protective cover
on. Move your umbrella to the least windy and most protected area of your patio or outside
space to help avoid wind damage.
ON A GENERAL NOTE:
Mobelli outdoor furniture is easy to use and generally requires little maintenance. However
this does not mean the furniture is indestructible. Certain environmental elements may
damage your furniture and invalidate your guarantee.
Please protect your furniture specifically from the effects of wind. If you live in a windy area,
be aware when the wind comes up and take precautions to ensure that the furniture does
not get damaged.
Please note that every product has a limited life span. The Southern African sun, in particular
is incredibly harsh and leads to faster deterioration of outdoor furniture than, say, in Europe.
Treat your furniture with care and your investment will last longer.
3. Swivel Mechanism – This part turns 360 degrees and works with ball bearings and a gear which holds it in
place when your umbrella is stationary. If the swivel mechanism isn’t lubricated regularly, it will eventually
rust. Spray the lubricator/rust preventer around the circumference of the swivel mechanism so that it goes
into the gears and ball bearings. If you live on the coast, it is recommended that this is done weekly due to
the harsh conditions. (To see how to swivel the umbrella see the image that says rotating)
Always ensure that your protective canopy is used when the umbrella isn’t in use. The protective cover is
there to do just that, protect the canopy of the umbrella from the elements and UV degradation.
