TO LOWER AND PROPERLY FOLD THE CORONA

CANOPY

1. Stand next to the pole and pull the rope out of the jam cleat. Hold

rope and release carefully until the arms are completely folded down.

2. In order to avoid the canopy fabric from being jammed between the

frame components, it is important to pull the fabric out from the

frame (arms/struts) by putting a finger under the edge of the canopy

and pulling the fabric outwards. Do this sequentially for all eight

panels as you walk arouond the canopy structure, furling the pleats

until it looks like the canopy in the picture to the right.

3. Put the strap firmly around the lower part of the canopy. Make sure

the belt is tight; otherwise, the canopy can move in windy conditions

and become damaged through rubbing.

4. Storage: If you are unlikely to use your Corona umbrella for two

weeks or more, it is imperative to fold your canopy as described

above and store it in a clean, dry place (out of reach of rodents) to

avoid soiling or damage. We recommend using the protective cover

to protect your canopy from dirt and to prolong the life of your

canopy. Pull the protective cover over the canopy and secure.

MAINTAINING THE CORONA FRAME & FITTINGS

1. Hose frame with water periodically, more often if installation is in a salty or industrial

environment.

2. Inspect the installation fitting on a regular basis and tighten if necessary.

MAINTAINING THE CORONA CANOPY FABRIC

1. Clean up spills and stains right away. Spills can be removed by using a clean,

absorbent cloth.

2. For general maintenance, use a soft brush to remove dust and dry soil or wash

down with clean, warm water (i.e. garden hose) every so often so dirt does not

become engrained. Allow the fabric to dry naturally before closing the canopy.

3. If a thorough cleaning is necessary, sponge over the fabric using a mild soap

solution (2% solution). Rinse well with plenty of water to remove all soap residue.

4. Never use detergents, cleaning fluids, or solvents. Grease and oil stains may be

removed by using turpentine or similar with an absorbent cloth.

5. We recommend giving the canopy a good clean on a more frequent basis if

installed in a location where the canopy is likely to become soiled.

REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT OF THE CORONA

CANOPY

Follow these instructions should you choose to replace your canopy with a new canopy.

1. Lower the canopy to the closed position.

2. Unsnap the canopy vent cap.

3. Drill out the canopy strap rivets or take out the canopy screws from webbing at top

of arms. (Depending on your model, your Corona will have rivets or screws, not both.)

4. Remove the button/screw at the end of each arm.

5. Remove canopy from structure.

6. To replace the canopy, reverse the above process.

CORONA WIND RESISTANCE GUIDELINES:

Light Winds Only

When installed properly, the Corona is engineered to handle light wind conditions in

the open canopy position. Please adhere to these common sense wind guidelines:

1. As winds get stronger, or in anticipation or uncertain/severe weather conditions,

the canopy should be lowered to the folded and strapped position.

2. The Corona should always be left in the folded and strapped position when

unattended or not in use.

3. In anticipation of, and during extremely severe weather conditions, it is advisable to

remove and store the Corona to protect it from storm-related debris.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To open the Corona canopy:

1. Undo strap and position yourself under the canopy arms so you can easily reach

the rope.

2. Pull rope slowly to open umbrella. CAUTION: Arms may need to be freed manually

to facilitate opening the first time. NEVER force arms!

3. Continue pulling rope until the canopy is taut and lock the rope in the jam cleat.

Wind the excess rope around hook bracket.

ASSEMBLY

The Corona will need the Spacer Buttons inserted.

IMPORTANT

Insert the Spacer Buttons immediately!

It is imperative that the eight (8) spacer buttons (white plastic cups/screws) are inserted

after the canopy is opened for the first time. Spacer buttons stop the arms from closing

completely and make it much easier to open the canopy singe-handedly.

Once the canopy is open, insert the spacer buttons. Holes have been predrilled and you

will need to insert the spacer buttons (white plastic cups/screws), one per arm.
