- Base Requirement: The manual strongly recommends securing the umbrella in at least a 265 lbs. / 120 kg umbrella base. This is a critical safety specification to ensure stability and prevent the umbrella from tipping over, especially in windy conditions.

Usage Features
The umbrella is designed for user-friendly operation, incorporating several features for convenience and safety:
- Assembly: The assembly process involves connecting the lower pole to the upper pole using a push button mechanism (Step 1). This suggests a straightforward, tool-free connection for the main pole sections.
- Opening the Umbrella: To open the umbrella, the user turns a crank handle in a clockwise direction until the canopy is fully extended (Step 2). This crank mechanism provides an easy way to deploy the umbrella.
- Auto-tilt Functionality: The "auto-tilt" feature allows the user to adjust the canopy's angle. After opening the umbrella, continuing to crank in a clockwise direction will slowly tilt the umbrella to the desired angle (Step 3). The user is advised to stop cranking once the umbrella stops tilting to avoid over-cranking.
- Returning to Straight Position: To return the umbrella to a straight-up position, the user turns the crank counterclockwise (Step 4).
- Closing the Umbrella: To close the umbrella, the user continues cranking in a counterclockwise direction (Step 5).
- Securing When Closed: Once the umbrella is closed, it should be secured using the integrated tie straps (Step 6). This prevents the canopy from unfurling unintentionally and keeps it compact.
- Wind Safety: A prominent warning advises users to always close the umbrella in windy conditions and when not in use to prevent damage to the frame. This highlights a crucial safety aspect for prolonging the product's life and preventing accidents.
- Adult Assembly Recommended: For safety, assembly by an adult is strongly recommended where applicable.
- Vendor-Supplied Hardware: Users are instructed to use only vendor-supplied hardware to maintain structural integrity.
- Periodic Checks: Hardware may loosen over time, so periodic checks to ensure all connections are tight are recommended.
Maintenance Features
The manual provides clear guidelines for the care, use, and storage of the umbrella to ensure its longevity and performance:
- Cleaning:
- Use a soft, clean cloth that will not scratch the surface when cleaning.
