Assemble the AKZ 360 Rotating Base Hub
1. Separate the rotating hub from the AKZ main frame by pulling it out
from the frame (Fig.1).
2. Select area to set base and place in desired location.
3. Remove inverted base stem from base shell using the steel wrench.
Turn the steel wrench in counter-clockwise motion (Fig.2).
4. Remove base shell (Fig.3).
5. Return inverted base stem into base shell (Fig.4).
Please note: This step is necessary to prevent sand from entering
base stem channel. If sand does enter base stem channel, remove
immediately as it will impede further installation.
6. Fill the base 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. Fill the
base with remaining sand after wet down.
* Base weight will be 250 lbs. after sand and water is added.
7. Remove inverted base stem (repeat step 2) (Fig.6).
8. Place Base Lid back onto Base Shell and install the inverted base
stem (Fig.7). (Do not over tighten inverted base stem, or parts may be
damaged).

supplied nuts & bolts (Fig.8).

Before You Open Your AKZ Umbrella
Note the following product dimensions:
- Height measurement including base is 10 ft.
- Width measurement including base is 13 ft.
Choosing a location for your AKZ Cantilever Umbrella
Before assembling the AKZ Umbrella it is important to decide on the location of the umbrella. Choose
a location that level and sturdy. Avoid any sloping or soft ground cover. Also consider a location that will
maximize the umbrella’s rotating swivel function. Placing the AKZ between two entertaining areas is ideal.
To Open AKZ Canopy
1) Turn the crank handle slowly and in a clockwise manner to open the umbrella to a level position (Fig.1).
2) Stop turning the crank handle as soon as the umbrella cover is completely open and the sleeve on the
umbrella pole has reached its maximum height (Fig.2). DO NOT CONTINUE TO CRANK once umbrella
canopy is completely open, as it will impair your ability to disengage the tilt lever.

2) Pull the tilt lever towards you to disengage the tilting gears (Fig.1, with details).
3) To tilt the canopy: While gears are disengaged, move the tilt lever to the left or right (Fig.2),
depending on your desired tilt. (Use the tilt degree scale as a guide, Fig.3).
4) Once desired tilt is reached, re-engage the tilting gears by pushing the tilt lever back
(towards the main frame) and place the tilt lever back into its original setting on the main frame.
