This document describes the "Umbrella Base" or "Pied de Parasol," identified by model number NP10668. It appears to be a base designed to hold an umbrella or parasol, likely for outdoor use.
Function Description
The primary function of this device is to provide a stable foundation for an umbrella or parasol. The base is designed to be filled with water, which adds weight and stability, preventing the umbrella from tipping over in windy conditions. The design suggests it's intended for use with a pole-style umbrella, where the pole is inserted into a central opening in the base and secured.
Important Technical Specifications
While specific dimensions and material compositions are not explicitly detailed, the visual representation and assembly instructions provide some insights. The base appears to be constructed from a durable, molded plastic material, suitable for outdoor exposure. The assembly involves several components:
- Main Base Unit (A): This is the primary structure that holds the water and supports the umbrella pole. It features a fill opening for water and a central receptacle for the umbrella pole.
- Support Rods (B): Five support rods are used to secure the umbrella pole within the base. These rods are threaded and are fastened with nuts.
- Wrench (C): A wrench is provided for tightening the nuts that secure the support rods.
- Screws (D): Five screws are used in the assembly, likely to attach the support rods or other components.
- Washers (E): Five washers are included, typically used with screws or nuts to distribute pressure and prevent loosening.
- Nuts (F): Five nuts are used to fasten the support rods.
- Umbrella Pole Adapter (G): This component, possibly a cap or adapter, helps secure the umbrella pole.
- Cap (H): A cap is used to seal the water fill opening, preventing leakage and evaporation.
The base is designed to be filled with water, as indicated by the "WATER / EAU" label and the fill opening. The exact water capacity is not specified, but it would directly correlate with the stability provided. The weight of the filled base would be a crucial technical specification, as it determines its effectiveness in holding an umbrella.
Usage Features
The usage of the umbrella base is straightforward and user-friendly, emphasizing ease of assembly and maintenance.
Assembly:
- Read Instructions: Users are advised to read all instructions carefully before assembly.
- Retain Instructions: The instructions should be kept for future reference.
- Separate Parts: All parts and hardware should be separated before starting assembly.
- Follow Order: Each step should be followed carefully and in the proper order.
- Assembly Location: The base should be assembled in the area where it will be placed to avoid moving the product unnecessarily once assembled.
- Flat Surface: The product should always be placed on a flat, steady, and stable surface during assembly and use.
- Child Safety: Small parts and packaging materials should be kept away from babies and children as they pose a serious choking hazard.
Filling and Securing:
- Once assembled, the base is filled with water through the designated opening, which is then sealed with the cap (H).
- The umbrella pole is inserted into the central receptacle.
- The support rods (B) are then used, along with screws (D), washers (E), and nuts (F), to secure the umbrella pole firmly within the base. The wrench (C) is used for tightening. The umbrella pole adapter (G) likely aids in this securing process, possibly by accommodating different pole diameters.
Maintenance Features
The document also outlines a "Return / Damage Claim Instructions" section, which is crucial for maintenance and customer support. This section provides guidance on how to handle various issues, including missing parts, damaged items, and general claims.
Return / Damage Claim Instructions:
- DO NOT discard the box/original packaging: If a return is required, the item must be returned in its original box. Without the original packaging, the return will not be accepted.
- Take a photo of the box markings: A photo of the markings (text) on the side of the box is required in case a part is needed for replacement. This helps staff identify the product number to ensure the correct part is sent.
- Take a photo of the damaged part (if applicable): If a part is damaged, a photo is required to file a claim and get a replacement or refund processed quickly. This helps ensure the correct part is identified and dispatched.
- Send us an email with the images requested: Users are instructed to email the images directly from the marketplace where the item was purchased, along with the attached images and a description of their claim.
This detailed claim process ensures that any issues with the product can be efficiently addressed, contributing to the overall longevity and satisfactory use of the umbrella base. The emphasis on photographic evidence and retaining original packaging streamlines the support process.
The overall design and instructions suggest a product that is intended to be durable and provide long-term service with proper assembly and care. The water-fill feature is a key aspect of its functionality, offering adjustable weight for stability.
