Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable or wobbles in the wind.
Ensure the parasol is secured in a weighted base. For freestanding use, a 25kg base is recommended. Check that the two pole sections are securely locked together.
Crank handle is stiff or difficult to turn.
Check for any obstructions around the crank mechanism. Ensure the pole is vertical and fully inserted. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Canopy does not open or close fully.
Verify that the crank handle is correctly engaged with the mechanism. Ensure there are no objects obstructing the canopy's movement. Check the central pole is stable.
Water is pooling on the canopy after rain.
This parasol is water-resistant for light showers. For heavier rain, it is best to close and store the parasol. Ensure the air vent is clear for proper drainage.
