This document provides assembly and operating instructions for the KETTLER Wall Mounted Parasol, model PF25. It is designed for residential use and offers a convenient, space-saving shade solution for outdoor areas.
Function Description:
The KETTLER Wall Mounted Parasol is a shade device designed to be permanently affixed to a wall. Unlike traditional free-standing parasols, it eliminates the need for a heavy base, freeing up floor space. The parasol features a crank mechanism for opening and closing the canopy, and a slider button to adjust its height and position along the wall-mounted frame. This allows users to easily extend, retract, and position the parasol to provide optimal shade throughout the day. When not in use, the parasol can be closed and covered with a protective cover (Part B) to shield it from the elements. The design emphasizes ease of use and durability for garden furniture applications.
