WIND RESISTANCE GUIDELINES:
Atlas: Strong Wind / Astral: Extreme Wind
When installed properly using a mount kit, the umbrella is engineered to handle
strong wind conditions for the Atlas and extreme wind for the Astral, in the open
canopy position. Please adhere to these wind guidelines:
1. As winds get stronger or, as gusts increase, the canopy should be lowered to
the folded and strapped position.
2. If unattended for an extended period of time, the umbrella should be left in the
folded and strapped position.
3. In anticipation of, and during extremely severe weather conditions, it is
advisable to remove and store the entire umbrella structure to protect it from
storm-related debris.
NOTE: Wind resistance should only be used as a guideline. Wind is not covered by
warranty. See page 13 for more information.
