SECTION 1 – Assembly, Installation & Operation
STAGE 1 Umbrella Location
1A) PLANNING THE UMBRELLA LOCATION:
Special care is needed when selecting the best location for your umbrella.
Some key points to keep in mind are:
Ensure that the location you have chosen has the umbrella in a position where it provides the best possible coverage
over the area that you want shaded.
Remember the SU7 has the ability to rotate 360° so if you wish to utilise this function ensure that you allow the necessary
space around the umbrella for this. (see Figure 1).

Option 1 - PORTABLE STEEL BASE
For installation you will require:
• 1 person
• Adjustable spanner
• Hex Allen key set
• The complete Portable Steel Base kit (see below - follow the indications on the diagram to install the necessary parts).
Wheels Option:
CH1

IMPORTANT TIP! On the base plate of the mast support there is a small protruding nipple (see Figure 2) which acts as a stopper,
preventing the umbrella mast from rotating past a 300° radius.
Should your umbrella be fitted with the optional LED light, this nipple is a necessary feature to prevent the electrical cable housed
inside the mast from becoming twisted. However, if your umbrella is not fitted with the optional LED light, this nipple is not necessary
and can be easily removed using a hammer and nail punch or similar, thus enabling the umbrella to rotate a full 360°.

Option 2 - IN-GROUND ANCHOR FIXING
For installation you will require:
• 1 person
• Concrete mix, spade and a wheelbarrow
• Hex Allen key set
• The complete In-ground Anchor kit (see Figure 3).
*Please note that the Main In-ground Fitting (L) is generally supplied semi-assembled.
Step 1 Choose your site carefully – ensure ground is level and that there is no risk of damaging underground utilities when
you start digging.
Step 2 Dig your footing hole at least 500mmW x 500mmL x 700mmH**. It is recommended that you flare the footing hole
slightly at the base for extra stability (see Figure 4).
**Please note that the dimensions stated in Step 2 above are given as a guide only. Footing requirements can differ depending
on the ground composition at your property. For instance, if you are installing the anchor into topsoil or sand a larger hole may be
necessary and it is best if you seek appropriate advice in regards to this. Remember the depth of the hole is just as important as
the width and it is simpler to increase the size of the footing than to try and relocate it or re-stabilize it should it start to move over
time. When pouring the concrete it is also advisable to insert some lengths of reinforcing steel bar into the hole to strengthen the
concrete and help prevent it from cracking.
Step 3 Insert 10mm diameter Foundation Rods (K) into Main In-ground Fitting (L) (see Figure 4).
Step 4 Mix and prepare the concrete ready to pour into the hole.

Step 5 Position the Main In-ground Fitting (K+L) in the hole ensuring that it is level/perpendicular. Scallop out a small
cove in the concrete for access to screws (J) at the top of the Main In-ground Fitting (K) (see Figure 4). It is
recommended that the Main Mast Support Foot (F) and the Main Mast Support Spigot (E) are assembled to the Main
In-ground Fitting (L) to assist getting it level / perpendicular.
HANDY TIP! To avoid excess concrete travelling up into the centre of the fitting please ensure that you close off the
bottom of the fitting using plastic hole plug provided before positioning it in the hole.
Step 6 Pour concrete into the hole around the fitting and up to the required finished level. (Note: extra props / support may
be required to ensure that the Fitting remains level while the concrete sets).
HANDY TIP! Before leaving the concrete to cure re-check the fitting to ensure that it is level/perpendicular.
Step 7 Once the concrete is fully cured, the umbrella mast can be placed onto the Main Support Spigot (E).

Option 3 - SURFACE PLATE FIXING
For installation you will require:
• 1 person
• 4 x 10mmØ bolts (not supplied - the type of bolts you need and the length will depend on what type of surface you are
fixingtheSurfacePlatetoandthesurroundingenvironment)
• Hex Allen key set
• 2x adjustable spanner/wrench
• The complete Surface Plate Anchor kit (see Figure 5).
Step 1 Choose your site carefully – ensure the surface that you are anchoring to is clean, level and structurally sound.
HANDY TIP! It is recommended to double check the mounting surface is level by placing the surface plate where you want it to
be located and ensuring that the spigot is perfectly vertical/perpendicular.
Step 2 Place the Surface Plate where you want it to be located.
Step 3 Mark the position of the four bolt holes on the surface that you are fixing to.
HANDY TIP! If you are mounting the Surface Plate to a wooden deck it is essential that all four fixing bolts (not supplied), are
secured through the substantial structure of the deck and not only to the deck planking.
In order to achieve this some additional structural bracing may be required before the surface plate can be fitted securely (as
a suggestion see Figure 6).
HANDY TIP! If you are securing the Surface Plate to a wooden deck it is also recommended that you place a washer between
the bottom of the plate and the surface of the deck, this leaves a small gap to allow water to escape and reduce the risk of
long-term water damage to the deck (See Figure 6).
Step 4 Drill holes and secure the surface plate using the 4 x 10mmØ bolts (not supplied - the type of bolts you need and the
length will depend on what type of surface you are fixing the surface plate to and the surrounding environment)
Step 5 Using bolts provided, fix spigot to the surface plate.
of the rotational stopper nipple (refer Figure 2) if still in place.
Step 6 Once the spigot and the surface plate are secure, lower the rotating platform over the spigot, and insert the locking
pin as preferred. Once complete, the umbrella mast can be placed onto the Main Mast Support Spigot.

Option 4 - WALL ANCHOR FIXING
For installation you will require:
• 1 person
• 8x screws/bolts (not supplied - the type of fastenings you need and the length will depend on the type of surface you a
fixingtheWallAnchortoandthesurroundingenvironment)
• Hex Allen key set
• 2x adjustable spanner/wrench
• The two Wall Anchor Fixing brackets (see Figure 8).
Step1 Choose your site carefully – ensure the surface that you are anchoring to is clean, structurally sound and has
sufficient height to accommodate the height of the umbrella mast.
HANDY TIP! Fastening requirements will differ depending on the type of wall structure that you are fixing the Wall Anchor
brackets to. It is recommended that you seek appropriate advice in regards to this in order to ensure that your umbrella is
mounted securely.
Step2 Before you begin the next step of securing the Wall Anchor Fixing brackets to the wall you will need to complete steps
1-4 of assembling the umbrella (refer to STAGE 3, 3A - Assembling The Umbrella & Figure 9).
Also if your umbrella is fitted with the optional LED light, you will need to complete steps 1 & 2 of Connecting the
LED Light (refer to STAGE 3, 3D - Connecting the LED Light).

Figure 9 - SU7 Wall Anchor Fixing Installation
HANDY TIP! Given that the umbrella mast is not sitting on the ground surface, the height positioning of the umbrella is
somewhat variable and entirely up to the requirements of the user. However as a guide, it is suggested to match the 2.1m
head clearance of the standard ground mounted umbrella. To achieve this, the upper Wall Anchor fixing bracket would be
positioned approx 2850mm above the ground.
Step 3 Drill holes and secure the lower Wall Anchor Fixing bracket to the wall ensuring that it is level.
Step 4 Insert the umbrella mast onto the rotating platform of the lower Wall Anchor Fixing bracket (which is now fixed to
the wall).
Step 5 Place the rotating platform of the upper Wall Anchor Fixing bracket on the top of the mast.
Step 6 Ensure the mast is vertical/perpendicular. Mark and drill the holes for the upper Wall Anchor Fixing bracket.
Step 7 Leaving the mast in place between the two brackets, secure the upper Wall Anchor Fixing bracket to the wall.
The Umbrella mast should now be mounted to the wall held between the two Wall Anchor brackets. It cannot be removed
without first removing one of the brackets from the wall.

3C) FIXING THE FABRIC CANOPY TO UMBRELLA FRAME
HANDY TIP! Your Umbrella may possibly be supplied with the fabric canopy already fitted to the frame. If so, then you can
simply use this section as a reference if you ever wish to remove the fabric canopy (ie: to clean it). If the fabric canopy is
supplied separate to the frame, work through these simple steps to install the fabric to the frame for the first time.
Step 1 Remove the fabric canopy from its packaging and unfold it out on a clean surface.
Step 2 Locate the fabric corner that has the oval brass / nickel eyelet in it. This is the corner that will be located on the
umbrella frame at the point closest to the mast.
Step 3 Locate the centre/appex of the fabric canopy with the hole & circular support ring.
Step 4 With the umbrella frame semi-open, using a step ladder or something similar to safely access the top of the umbrella,
spread the fabric canopy over the top of the umbrella frame, positioning the hole that is in the centre of the fabric
canopy directly over the upper hub (refer Fig 11, Step 5) of the frame.
Step 5 While maintaining the position of the centre of the fabric canopy approximately as outlined in Step 4, orientate
the fabric so that the corner with the oval brass / nickel eyelet (mentioned in Step 2) is positioned over the Lower
Main Spar attached to the mast.
Step 6 Once the fabric canopy is orientated to its correct position, proceed with inserting the ends of the individual frame
struts each into its own relevant fabric pocket located around the underside perimeter of the fabric canopy.
*Please note: As the fabric canopy is made to fit relatively taut over the frame, the last 2-4 struts to be inserted into
their pockets may take more effort than the first ones. At the point where each pocket is located, pull the edge of the
fabric canopy down with sufficient force to enable the spoke to slot into its pocket.
Step 7 Take the corner of the fabric canopy with the oval brass / nickel eyelet (as mentioned in Step 2) and fit it over the turn
button fastener fixed to the upper surface of the Lower Main Spar(refer Fig 11, Step 6). Turn the turn button
fastener so the eyelet & canopy are locked in place. Ensure the Velcro fabric overlap up the length of the main spar
and the ‘chute’ where the upper main spar protrudes through the fabric canopy are correctly fittedandpositioned.
Step 8 Return the umbrella to fully closed position, then using a step ladder or something similar to safely access the top
of the umbrella, ensure that the hole in the centre of the fabric canopy is directly over the threaded hole in the upper
frame hub (refer Fig 11, Step 5). Bolt the fabric canopy cap firmlyinpositionoverthetopofthefabric,asshown
below.

3D) CONNECTING THE LED LIGHT (optional accessory):
The LED Lights which are an optional accessory offeredfortheSU7Umbrellaare fittedtothecentrelowerhuboftheumbrella
at the time of manufacture (see Figure 12).
As part of the umbrella assembly process, if your umbrella has the optional LED lights fitted, the electrical cable connected to
the LED Light which is incorporated within the umbrella frame will require connecting to the Control Box Unit (supplied) which in
turn will require connecting to an external 230/240V power supply.
IMPORTANT NOTE! Any 230V/240V wiring for electrical connections must be carried out and certified by a qualified
electrician.
HANDY TIP! Steps 1 - 3 of this Connecting LED Lights process are best done between Steps 7 and 8 of the main assembly
process (3A - Assembling The Umbrella).
Step 1 Unscrew the lid offthe Control Box Unit and remove the electrical circuit board from the base of the plastic casing box.
(See Figure 13)
HANDY TIP! The electrical circuit board may be wedged in the base of the plastic casing box quite tightly but can be gently
levered out with the help of a screwdriver or similar.

2.1. Mounting the 110 V power cable
STEP 1 The power cable can be put into the
provided channel behind the pole or into the
central part of the pole.
STEP 2 Remove the back cover profile of the pole in
order to reveal the power cable.
Caution: The provided areas for the power
cable are indicated. Please only use these
zones to insert the cable.
2.2. Connecting the 110V power cable
STEP 1 Put the cable into the provided channel. Drill
a hole of 8mm (or according to cable
thickness) at approximately 10cm of the top.
The power cable can then be guided
upwards into the pole through this hole.
STEP 2 The power cable needs to stick out about
25cm at the top of the pole in order to make
the connection. The total needed cable
length measured as from the floor is 3m.
STEP 3 Unscrew the connector so that the internal
parts appear.
STEP 4 The LED kit is already connected to the
connecter. The power cable should be
connected to the other side of the connector
by using a small screwdriver.
Caution: Make sure to always connect
matching cables L-L / N-N / PE-PE
STEP 5 Once the connection is made, close the
connector by using wrenches size 24.
Caution: Make sure the connector is closed
tightly after connecting. This guarantees a
waterproof connection.
2.3. Connecting LED cable & mounting LED kit
STEP 1 In order to lower the LED kit into the pole,
grab it in one hand, the transparent cable
facing down and the black power cable
facing up. Make sure that the transparent
female connector of the LED cable goes
back upwards along the LED kit. Grab the
connector into the other hand. Lower both
parts, each at one side of the metal bracket,
into the pole. (Detail B). This way, the LED
kit is suspended over the metal bracket with
the power cable.
STEP 2 Connect the female connector of the LED kit
coming out of the pole to the male connector
of the LED cable coming out of the frames

STAGE 4 Operating the Umbrella
The SU7 Umbrella is designed to be operated by one person.
The gas-strut allows the umbrella to be opened and closed in one easy sliding movement. Simply release the sliding wagon
by rotating the locking grip anticlockwise (see Figure 16) and push the sliding wagon up the mast until it hits the stopper
screw.
HANDY TIP! Due to the stopper screw being of minor detail it is often overlooked when assembling the umbrella. You can
insert it now if you haven’t already. The stopper screw is included in the parts kit.
The hole for the stopper screw is located approx 500mm below the top of the mast and inside the trolley track
(see Figure 11, Step 12).
At the point where the sliding trolley makes contact with the stopper the umbrella should be fully extended and the fabric
canopy should be firm and taut.
Secure the sliding wagon by twisting the locking grip clockwise.
This procedure should take no more than a few seconds (see Figure 16).
To close the umbrella simply release the locking grip (turn anti-clockwise), slide the trolley down the mast until the umbrella is
fully closed and tighten the locking grip (clockwise) once again.
For more information on how to operate your umbrella please visit our website and view the SU7 product demonstration video.
You can view these videos at any time by visiting www.shadowspec.com/videos
