version.All operation and working sequences are identical for both versions.

4. Fittings
4.1 General
Material such as plastic, plastic coated
aluminium and non-rusting steel have been used
for all mechanical components of the sunshade.
This enables the sunshade to have a very high
degree of weather resistance, functionality and
service life.
4.2 Nameplate
The nameplate is attached to the stand tube in the
vicinity of the lower slider tube stop.
The following information is printed on the nameplate:
Sunshade model
Manufacturer
Manufacturer's address
with internet adress
Sticker with Serial No.
4.3 Canopy material
The canopy material is manufactured in Polyester
fabric or Polypropylene depending on the version.
Both fabric types are treated to be water-repellent.
Coloured canopies are tested for light and colour
fastness (DIN 54 004).
The canopy material can be removed from the
sunshade easily for cleaning. Please observe
the information in the chapter entitled "Care".
Note
The sunshade canopy material is treated to be water-repellent.
This treatment is however not intended to prevent water
penetration in heavy rainfall.
The Easy Sun PARASOL is not an umbrella.
