REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY:
• 200 lbs. playground sand (not included).
NOTE: Do not put or allow sand into the center of the base shell.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
• Close the umbrella in windy conditions or when a storm approaches.
Never allow the umbrella to flap in the wind; this could damage the canopy.
• Do not leave open umbrella unattended. If damage occurs, this is not covered
by the warranty.
• When adjusting the umbrella, make sure that no person(s) or item(s) are close to the
umbrella. This is important to prevent injury or material damage.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
• When not in use, close and cover umbrella with a protective cover (included).
• Allow a wet canopy to dry opened up.
• If necessary, clean the fabric with lukewarm water, mild detergent, and a sponge.
• Wipe sliding marks on the aluminum poles with a damp cloth.
Winter Storage:
• Store in a dry, protective place.
• Any visible defects must be repaired by a professional.
After the Winter:
• Areas subject to turning and sliding can be treated with a non-staining lubricant spray
(silicone-based).
• Check the condition and function of the umbrella. Any defects must be repaired by a
professional.
CAUTION: Fully assembled, the AKZ/AKZSQ umbrella weighs over 300 lbs. Moving
the umbrella fully assembled will increase the risk of damage to your umbrella and
can cause serious injury. We recommend a two-person team to assemble or
disassemble the umbrella.
IMPORTANT: Prior to assembly it is important to decide on the location of the AKZ umbrella.
The umbrella measures approximately 10 ft. in height and 13 ft. in width.
• Allow ample height to avoid damage to your umbrella during assembly and usage.
• Choose a location that is level and sturdy.
• Avoid any sloping or soft ground cover.
• Consider a location that will maximize the umbrella’s rotating swivel function. Placing
the AKZ between two entertaining areas is ideal.
NOTE: Some parts may be included in the styrofoam packaging. DO NOT discard any
packaging or box until assembly is complete.

STEP 1 Base Assembly
Select area to set AKZ base and place in desired location. NOTE: Moving the umbrella will be
difficult once fully assembled. Remove mounting plate from inverted base stem (Fig. 1).
Remove the inverted base stem by using the steel wrench (provided) turning
counter-clockwise (Fig. 2), now remove base lid from base shell (Fig. 3). Return
inverted base stem to base shell, to keep sand out of base stem channels. (Fig. 4)
IMPORTANT: Do not allow sand to spill inside the base stem channels, as it will impede
further installation. Now, fill each section of the base shell with dry playground sand (Fig. 5).
The AKZ base holds up to 250 lbs. of sand. When filling the base, it is necessary to wet
down the sand after partial installation. Continue filling the base with remaining sand after
wet down. NOTE: Base weight will be 300 lbs. after sand and water is added. Now, remove
inverted base stem (Fig. 6) from base shell. Place base lid back onto base shell and re-install
the inverted base stem (Fig. 7). IMPORTANT: Carefully, as you tighten the inverted
base stem, you will notice clicking/ratcheting sound. Please make sure it is
between CLICKS. Do not over tighten inverted base stem or parts may be
damaged. Re-install the mounting plate by tightening with 4 plate bolts (Fig. 8 and 9).

(Fig. 16). NOTE: Do not continue to crank once umbrella canopy is completely open, it
may impair your ability to disengage the tilt lever.
To CLOSE Canopy:
Slowly turn the crank lift handle counter-clockwise (Fig. 17) with one hand and
slide the main frame grip down with the other hand (Fig. 18) until the canopy is fully
