This document provides assembly instructions and important information for the Kettler 3.0 m Free Arm Parasol, model PF30.
Function Description:
The Kettler 3.0 m Free Arm Parasol is designed as outdoor furniture for residential properties, providing shade and protection from the sun. Its free-arm design allows for flexible positioning of the canopy without a central pole obstructing the space beneath. The parasol features a robust base that can be filled with sand and water for stability, ensuring it remains upright even in moderate conditions. The canopy can be opened and closed, and its angle adjusted, offering versatile shade options throughout the day. For safety and longevity, the parasol is designed to be closed and covered during windy conditions or when not in use.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Model: PF30
- Parasol Diameter: 3.0 meters
- Base Filling Requirements: Each section of the base requires 20kg of sand, topped up with water. Water alone is insufficient for stability.
- Warranty: 12-month warranty for domestic use.
- Materials: Components include various metal parts for the frame (A, B, C, D1, D2, E, G, H, I), plastic or composite parts for the base (J, J1), and fabric for the canopy. Fasteners include M8x16mm bolts (F).
- Safety Features: The design emphasizes stability through a weighted base. It includes a night cover (K) for protection when closed.
Usage Features:
- Assembly: The parasol requires assembly, with a detailed parts list and step-by-step instructions provided. Users are advised to assemble on a soft surface, finger-tighten fittings initially, and fully tighten all fixing points only upon completion.
- Base Stability: The base is crucial for the parasol's stability. It consists of multiple sections (J, J1) that must be filled with a combination of 20kg of sand per section and then topped with water. This dual-filling method ensures adequate weight and stability.
- Opening and Closing: The parasol features a crank mechanism (E) for opening and closing the canopy. The instructions illustrate the process of extending and retracting the canopy.
- Angle Adjustment: The free-arm design allows for adjustment of the canopy's angle and position, providing flexible shade coverage. The illustrations show how the arm can be moved and secured.
- Rotation: The parasol can rotate 360 degrees, allowing users to easily adjust the shade direction without moving the entire base.
- Storage and Protection: When not in use, especially in windy conditions, the parasol should be closed and covered with the supplied night cover (K). Failure to do so may result in damage.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Checks: All components, including fixings and connections, should be checked regularly for correct function, damage, and looseness. This is particularly important at the start of each season and at 1-2 month intervals during use.
- Replacement Parts: Damaged components should be replaced immediately to ensure safety and extend the product's life. Only spare parts manufactured by Kettler should be used. These can be ordered from the Kettler website.
- Cleaning: While not explicitly detailed in the provided pages, general garden furniture maintenance practices would apply, such as cleaning the canopy and frame with mild soap and water.
- Winter Storage: Although not explicitly stated, it is generally recommended to store outdoor furniture, including parasols, in a dry, protected area during winter months to prevent damage and prolong its lifespan.
- Warranty: The 12-month warranty covers domestic use. It's important to note that damage, chipping, or rust resulting from improper use or accidental damage may not be covered. Kettler offers touch-up paint for accidental damage. To validate the warranty, users must register their product on the Kettler website, quoting the product code.
- Safety Precautions: Keep fittings out of children's reach during assembly. Do not use substitute parts or tools other than those recommended. Dispose of packaging material safely to prevent suffocation hazards, especially for children. Kettler reserves the right to make technical changes.
