ASSEMBLY & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CARE & MAINTENANCE
TUUCI frames are constructed from durable, marine-grade, weather resistant materials including: fiberglass,
armor-wall aluminum, Dura-TEAK composites, Aluma-TEAK aluminum and sustainable hardwood. All fasten-
ers (nuts, bolts, pulleys, cam cleats, etc.) are marine-grade stainless steel and will withstand the most corrosive
environments. Proper care and maintenance is important to extend the serviceable life of all TUUCI products.
We recommend the following:
• Fresh water rinses once a week
• Weekly inspection of your TUUCI product is recommended. Loose screws should be tightened and any
broken components replaced immediately to avoid further damage to your product.
• Prior to opening, ensure that the shade product is properly secured to an adequate shade anchor system.
• When opening a TUUCI parasol, separate each rib 10 inches from the center post, before raising the hub.
Do not force hub if it does not rise easily.
• When closing the parasol, pull the fabric out from between the struts to avoid pinching or damaging the
TUFF-SKIN canopy membrane.
• TUUCI recommends that all collapsible shade equipment be closed in wind conditions which exceed 25 MPH.
• Clean above ground parasol bases regularly to maintain appearance. To clean, gently wash with soap and
water using a nonabrasive cloth or pad.
• Check bolts in security stem regularly to ensure that they remain fully tightened.
• Do not roll Aluma-crete (Aluminum Shell, Concrete Filled) bases on their side as damage to shell
or nish can occur.
• Do not use on stairways or over distances which exceed 50 feet, as damage to welded wheel tray may occur.
• Canopy should be cleaned regularly and can be cleaned without being removed from the frame. Hose down
and clean with a mild soap and lukewarm water (no more than 100° F.) using a soft bristle brush. Rinse thor
