shelta AG35 User manual

Important Safety Information
This umbrella is not a permanent shade structure and must be lowered when unattended or in
windy conditions. Excessive wind puts stress on the frame, which can cause damage to the
umbrella and danger to people. This umbrella is not recommended for exposed environments
such as high balconies or roof tops. Do not install on sloping or soft ground. Please carefully
read the following instructions; if in doubt, consult a qualified trades-person. Only use
recommended Shelta bases or anchoring systems.
To ensure a long life for your AG35 Cantilever umbrella:
• Close the umbrella and cover with the Protective Sleeve between uses.
• Store in a dry, shaded location if not used for long periods.
• The umbrella should be hosed regularly with fresh water if exposed to salt spray chlorine or pollution.
• Soiling of the canopy can be minimised by simply brushing off dirt before it becomes embedded in the fabric
or spot cleaning soon after stains occur. Fabrics may be treated with a fabric protector such as ‘Scotchguard’
for additional protection.
• Do not close or store the umbrella when wet; if it is necessary to close a wet umbrella in stormy weather,
remember to open and dry the canopy as soon as weather conditions allow.
• Every 6 months spray the Rotate Bearing and Ballast Block Frame with WD40 or deoderised fish-oil.
• Regularly check that the base of the umbrella is properly secured.

AG35 Mounting Options
Mounting Option 1: Onground Plate (E included).
Suitable for a concrete slab (minimum 10cm thick) or a concrete column (30cm diameter by 75cm deep). With this
option the umbrella can be rotated. Purchase 4 Stainless Steel masonry anchors such as 10mm x 75mm Dynabolts
from your local hardware.
1. Place the Onground Plate (E) in the required location. Use metal spacers if the
surface is not flat and horizontal. Mark the position of the 4 corner holes with a
felt pen. Use a 10mm masonry bit to drill holes to a depth of 80mm. Fasten the
Plate to the slab using the 4 masonry anchors.
2. If necessary, remove the Rotate Bearing (D) from the bottom of the Side-post
and attach to the Onground plate using the four M8 x 20mm bolts and washers
provided
The Umbrella may also be bolted to a wooden deck using the same hardware
however it is strongly recommended a builder reinforce the deck with extra
joists under the boards and use stainless steel bolts or 100mm M12 galvanized or stainless steel coach
bolts in the joists.
Mounting Option 2: Shelta Resin Base (not included).
Not Suited for 4x3 model
Suitable for most surfaces including timber decks. Purchase a Shelta Large Resin
base from your local retailer (wheeled and non-wheeled versions available). Note:
the Ballast Block Frame and the Onground Plate are not required for this option.
100 Kilos of 5mm blue metal and 10 Kilos of sand will be required to fill the
Resin base for ballast
1. Remove the square plate from the bottom of the Rotate Bearing (D) by
unscrewing the 4 countersunk screws.
2. If necessary, remove the Rotate Bearing from the bottom of the Side-post and
attach to the Resin Base “Top Hat” using the 4 countersunk screws.
3. Follow the assembly instructions included with the Large Resin Base.
Mounting Option 3: Ballast Block Frame (C included).
Not Suited for 4x3 model
Suitable for most surfaces including grass. This should be ballasted with
between 110 and 140 kilograms of weight. Purchase at least 6 Shelta
Resinstone Ballast Weights, Shelta Concrete or Granite Ballast Weights from
Your Shelta stockists
1. Assemble the 2 parts of the Ballast Block Frame (C) at right angles.
2. If necessary, remove the Rotate Bearing (D) from the bottom of the Side-
post and attach to the Ballast Block Frame using four M8x20mm screws and washers provided.
3. Place the assembled frame in the required location. Note: for safe use the surface should be flat and horizontal.
4. Place at least 6 Resinstone or paving blocks on the assembled frame with double-stacked blocks on the side
opposite the umbrella.
Installing and operating the AG35 Umbrella
Up to date instructions and installation clearance measurements can be found at https://shelta.com.au/cantilever-installation/
The AG35 umbrella frame is heavy and is best handled by 2 people; take care not to soil or damage the canopy by
contacting nearby structures.
1. Carefully lift the umbrella and side-post to the vertical position. Hold the umbrella so that the side-post is above
the rotate bearing and carefully lower onto the rotate stem.
2. Insert two M8x20mm screws into the bottom of the side-post and tighten with the large Allan key.
3. Before opening the umbrella, release the canvas band and allow the umbrella to unfurl.
4. Attach the crank handle to the crank spindle and tighten the grub screw with the small Allan key.
5. Slowly turn the crank handle in a clockwise direction; if the canopy does not begin to open, check that the
umbrella ribs are not tangled. DO NOT FORCE THE CRANK HANDLE.
6. As the umbrella begins to open, depress the locking button on the side-post runner and manually raise the
runner while turning the crank handle. The umbrella will be easier to open if the canopy is horizontal.
7. Continue to wind the crank handle until the umbrella is fully open but do not apply excessive force.
8. Tilting. To change the angle of the umbrella canopy, depress the locking button and move the side-post runner
to the preferred position. Please note that the umbrella catches more wind when tilted and so the tilt feature
should be used with extreme caution.
9. Rotating. The umbrella will rotate 360 degrees by simply stepping on the rotate pedal and turning the frame by
hand.
10. Close the umbrella by turning the crank handle anti-clockwise and simultaneously lowering the side-post runner.

Additional Instructions
1. Optional LED light. The central runner features a drop-down spigot to
which the Shelta ’Flying Saucer’ LED light may be attached.
2. Protective Sleeve. When not in use, tie the fabric band around the
umbrella and side-post, then slip the unzipped Protective Sleeve over the
top of the umbrella.
3. Safety. Never leave the umbrella unattended while open. Weather
conditions can change without warning and strong gusts of wind may
cause the umbrella to fall over or to break away from the mounting.
4. Sun Protection. The fabric on this umbrella is rated at UPF50+ and
provides excellent protection. However on high UV days there can be
significant reflected sunlight from sources such as windows and water for
which Shelta recommends the use of protective clothing and sunscreen.
