Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable in wind
Ensure the ground spike is fully inserted into soft ground, or use a heavy, stable parasol base on hard surfaces. Consider closing the parasol during excessively windy conditions.
Canopy is difficult to open or close
Check that the pole sections are correctly aligned and that no fabric is caught in the mechanism. Lubricate the slider mechanism with a silicone-based spray if it feels stiff.
Parasol does not tilt properly
Verify that the tilt mechanism is not obstructed. Ensure the pole is securely in place and try adjusting the tilt angle slowly.
Minor mold or mildew on canopy
Clean the affected area with a mild solution of water and soap, or a diluted white vinegar solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before use or storage.
