shelta AG5A 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 environ-
ments 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 AG5A 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 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.

AG5A Mounting Options
Mounting Option 1: Onground Plate (F 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 the pass-through
stainless steel bolts or 100mm M12 galvanized or stainless steel coach bolts go through the joists.
Mounting Option 2: Ballast Block Frame (D included).
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 or concrete pavers (45 x 45 x 4cm) from your
outdoor retailer or hardware.
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.
Mounting Option 3: Shelta Water-filled Resin Base (not included).
Suitable for most surfaces including timber decks. Purchase a Shelta Small Resin
base from your local retailer. Note: the Onground Plate is not required for this option.
1. Assemble the 2 parts of the Ballast Block Frame (D) at right angles.
2. Attach the Rotate Bearing (E) to the Ballast Block Frame using four M8x20mm
screws (H) and washers provided.
3. Place the assembled frame in the required location. Note: for safe use the
surface should be flat and horizontal.
4. Fill the 4 sections of the resin base with water and place over the Ballast Block
frame.
Installing and operating the AG5A Umbrella
While installing take care not to soil or damage the canopy by contacting nearby structures.
1. Place the Lower Side Post (C) over the Rotate Bearing stem and align the holes at the bottom of the post.
2. Insert and tighten the 2 locking screws (G) into the side of the lower post as shown in Figure 1.
3. Carefully lift the umbrella to the vertical position and insert the end of the side post into the top of the Lower
Side Post.
4. Secure the connection by tightening the hand-wheel.
5. Before opening the umbrella, release the canvas band and allow the umbrella to unfurl.
6. 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.
7. As the umbrella begins to open, unscrew the runner locking knob and manually raise the side-post runner while
turning the crank handle. The umbrella will be easier to open if the canopy is horizontal.
8. Continue to wind the crank handle until the umbrella is fully open but do not apply excessive force.
9. Tighten the runner locking knob in the fully raised position. See Figure 2.
10. Tilting. To change the angle of the umbrella canopy, unscrew the runner locking knob and raise or lower the
runner. Please note that the umbrella catches more wind when tilted and so the tilt feature should be used with
extreme caution.
11. Rotating. The umbrella will rotate 360 degrees by simply stepping on the rotate pedal and turning the frame by
hand.

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 UPF30+ 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.
