OPTION 2 - Surface Plate (Concrete Mount)
IMPORTANT: When concreting the in-ground anchor in place, make sure not to get slurry in
the screw threads. Either apply tape over the holes on both sides of the anchor or place the
spigot bolts in the threads and withdraw them with the concrete is set. Make sure that the
in-ground anchor is perfectly level. Allow the concrete to cure for the appropriate cure time for
your area before installing the umbrella onto the fitting.
REMOVAL:
To remove your umbrella for seasonal storage or to move it to another surface plate/
in-ground anchor, simply undo the spigot bolts and remove the umbrella from the in-ground
anchor.
STEP 1 Bolt Surface Plate to Concrete
Fix the surface plate to an existing
concrete slab using concrete bolts
STEP 2 Bolt Spigot to Surface Plate
Bolt the spigot plate to the surface plate
using the five (5) spigot bolts included with
umbrella.Insert the spigot bolts downward
through the holes in the spigot plate and
screw them into the threaded holes in the
surface plate. The spigot bolts should be left
just loose enough to allow final adjustment of
the orientation of the umbrella if necessary, then once correctly orientated,fully tighten
the spigot bolts.
You are now ready to operate your umbrella!

TO OPEN THE SU4 UMBRELLA CANOPY
The following instructions will walk you through the sequential progression of opening the
su4 umbrella as shown in the picture on the previous page. At any time, you may
skip a position and open to the desired position.
OPEN TO THE FIRST POSITION
1.Remove the strap that holds the SU4 umbrella to the mast when in the closed position.
Take note of the “parachute” folding method used to fold the canopy when closed.
See TO PROPERLY FOLD THE SU4 CANOPY section for more details.
2.Make sure your slider car stop pin is in the ready or horizontal position (A).
3.Begin turning the winder handle clockwise (B) until the slider car stop pin auto locates into the
lowest predetermined hole. Continue winding until the canopy is taut. The canopy will
now be in Tilt position 1.
CAUTION: NEVER FORCE THE ARMS OPEN IF YOU FEEL RESISTANCE IN THE WINDER!
If you feel resistance in the winder, you should manually pull out a few arms to help
facilitate winding (C).
OPEN TO THE SECOND POSITION
1.Open the winder handle and turn counter-clockwisefor a few revolutions to release
the pressure.
2.With your slider car stop pin again in the ready or horizontal position, quickly pull out
the pin (making sure it stays in the horizontal position), and let it slide up the slider car
manually until the pin locates in the next predetermined hole. It may be necessary
to turn the winder a few times until the pin locates into the hole. Once the pin is
located in the hole, continue winding until the canopy is taut. The canopy will now be
in Tilt position 2.
OPEN TO THE THIRD POSITION
1.Repeat steps 1-3 outlined above.
2.The canopy will now be in the Horizontal position.
HELPFUL HINT: At any time, you may skip a position and open to the desired position
by turning the slider car stop pin parallel with the mast. In this position, the pin will NOT
auto locate as it passes over the predetermined holes. If you choose to pass the tilt
position(s) and go directly to the horizontal canopy position, you may move the pin into the
parallel position and continue winding, but be sure to turn the pin back to the horizontal
position before the horizontal canopy position is attained. If you pass the top hole, take the
tension out of the canopy and then pull the slider car stop pin down and into the top hole.
TO PROPERLY FOLD THE SU4 UMBRELLA CANOPY
The 100% solution dyed canopy will last longer if you fold it as it was packed and
shipped. This technique is similar to the way a parachute is folded and is especially
important when folding the SU4 Umbrella canopy for seasonal storage or when the SU4
Umbrella is to be left in the closed position for an extended period of time.
Using this technique at all times will significantly extend the
life of the canopy.
1.When the canopy has been fully lowered, stand in front of
the canopy structure and begin the folding process by
pulling out two panels opposite the mast.
Pull the two panels together and roll tight into the canopy.
2.Once rolled tight, pull adjacent panels out one at a time
and fold to the center, alternating sides until all the panels
have been pulled out from the arms and folded into the
center.
3.Strap the canopy to the mast with the strap.
PROTECTIVE COVER
1.Screw rods together and insert into slit of the cover.
2. Unzip cover.
3. Using the rod as a guide, slide cover over yourumbrella.
4. Pull on string to zip down your cover and tie.
THROUGH 360°/ 10 POSITIONS
There are 10 holes at the top of the internal stem.
1.Raise the turning handle (D) and rotate mast to a new
position.
TO LOWER THE SU4 UMBRELLA CANOPY
1. Turn winder handle counter-clockwise (E) for several revolutions
until all pressure is released.
2. Reach up and pull slider car stop pin (F) out of hole. Continue to
turn counter clockwise to close. If slider locks, pull out.
3. Strap the canopy to the mast with the strap.
4. Pull the Protection Cover over the closed umbrella and zip closed.

SECTION 2 – Umbrella Care and Maintenance
Regular care and maintenance of your umbrella is essential.
The following points will assist in keeping it looking smart and clean while also ensuring its
ongoing performance and reliability.
• Always place the Protection Cover over the umbrella when not in use.
•Close and cover your umbrella in adverse conditions, this includes rain, snow, hail and high wind.
•Take care when opening or closing the umbrella, always check for obstacles first
(ie: trees, ladders, furniture, people).
• Umbrella should never be left stored/collapsed for long periods while wet. Always ensure that
the fabric is thoroughly dried before storing or closing for long periods of time.
•Any early signs of mould or mildew must be removed immediately.
•Umbrella canopy is removable and fully washable. Clean fabric using cold or warm water and
mild natural soap. Always rinse thoroughly and leave to dry in the open air – do not put in
clothes dryer.
• Never clean any part of the umbrella with a corrosive/abrasive product or a high pressure hose.
•Never use waterproofing or cleaning sprays on umbrella fabric without seeking appropriate
advice first.
•All moving parts on the umbrella are best maintained with an annual application of dry
lubricator, such as dry contact silicon spray.
FABRIC CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:
SHADOWSPEC Umbrella canopies are manufactured from some of the most durable and
state-of-the-art marine fabrics and threads available, including Sunbrella and
Dickson-Constant acrylic fabrics, along with other proven high-performance, UV stable
materials. SHADOWSPEC Umbrella canopies should be cleaned regularly before dirt is
allowed to accumulate and become embedded in the fabric. The fabric canopy can be
cleaned without being removed from the frame, however, the canopy can be completely
removed from the frame if preferred. Simply brush off any loose dirt or particles, hose
down and clean with a mild soap in lukewarm water (no more than 37° C.) Rinse
thoroughly to remove soap. Allow fabric to air dry. Do not use heavy detergents.
For stubborn stains, ‘303’ Fabric Cleaner is recommended although as with any cleaner,
it is advisable to trial a small area of the fabric first to ensure no adverse effect or
discolouration occurs. Following cleaning it is also then advisable to re-treat the fabric
with a water repellency application again. We recommend ‘303’ Protectant for this

SECTION 2 – Umbrella Care and Maintenance
Regular care and maintenance of your umbrella is essential.
The following points will assist in keeping it looking smart and clean while also ensuring its
ongoing performance and reliability.
• Always place the Protection Cover over the umbrella when not in use.
• Close and cover your umbrella in adverse conditions, this includes rain, snow, hail and high wind.
•Take care when opening or closing the umbrella, always check for obstacles first
(ie: trees, ladders, furniture, people).
• Umbrella should never be left stored/collapsed for long periods while wet. Always ensure that
the fabric is thoroughly dried before storing or closing for long periods of time.
•Any early signs of mould or mildew must be removed immediately.
• Umbrella canopy is removable and fully washable. Clean fabric using cold or warm water and
mild natural soap. Always rinse thoroughly and leave to dry in the open air – do not put in
clothes dryer.
• Never clean any part of the umbrella with a corrosive/abrasive product or a high pressure hose.
•Never use waterproofing or cleaning sprays on umbrella fabric without seeking appropriate
advice first.
• All moving parts on the umbrella are best maintained with an annual application of dry
lubricator, such as dry contact silicon spray.
FABRIC CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:
SHADOWSPEC Umbrella canopies are manufactured from some of the most durable and
state-of-the-art marine fabrics and threads available, including Sunbrella and
Dickson-Constant acrylic fabrics, along with other proven high-performance, UV stable
materials. SHADOWSPEC Umbrella canopies should be cleaned regularly before dirt is
allowed to accumulate and become embedded in the fabric. The fabric canopy can be
cleaned without being removed from the frame, however, the canopy can be completely
removed from the frame if preferred. Simply brush off any loose dirt or particles, hose
down and clean with a mild soap in lukewarm water (no more than 37° C.) Rinse
thoroughly to remove soap. Allow fabric to air dry. Do not use heavy detergents.
For stubborn stains, ‘303’ Fabric Cleaner is recommended although as with any cleaner,
it is advisable to trial a small area of the fabric first to ensure no adverse effect or
discolouration occurs. Following cleaning it is also then advisable to re-treat the fabric
with a water repellency application again. We recommend ‘303’ Protectant for this
purpose.
When washing or cleaning, DO NOT SUBJECT TO EXCESSIVE HEAT as the fabric will shrink.
DO NOT STEAM PRESS OR DRY IN ELECTRIC OR GAS DRYERS, but allow air to dry. In cases
where the umbrella is taken down and stored during the winter season, the canopy should
be cleaned, allowed to air dry, and stored in a dry, well ventilated area. A Protection Cover
should be used at all times when umbrella is not in use to ensure the longest serviceable life.
