Ensure the hand crank mechanism is free of debris. Check that the pole is fully inserted into the base and tightened. Lubricate the crank mechanism sparingly if it feels stiff.

Verify the parasol is securely fitted into a heavy and stable base. Ensure the air vents are not blocked. Close the parasol if the breeze intensifies.
