Turn the crank handle clockwise and continue to turn until the hub has
reached the stop ring. At that time, the umbrella is fully open and ready
to use.
Keep turning the crank to tilt the umbrella after the umbrella is fully
opened. Pull down and turn the collar in order to easily rotate the
umbrella 360 degrees. Stop at the desired position, release collar, and
the umbrella firmly locks in place.
Caution:
Make sure the umbrella is fully tilted. If left in a half-tilted
position, any wind will bring the umbrella back to upright position.
TO CLOSE THE UMBRELLA
Turn the crank handle counterclockwise until umbrella is fully closed.
Use tie straps to secure umbrella canopy.

Caution:
If you continue to crank
counter-clockwise after the umbrella
is closed, the umbrella will start to
open again. It is possible to open the
umbrella by turning the crank in a
counter-clockwise direction. However,
the umbrella will not stay open when the
crank is turned in a counter-clockwise
direction. The locking mechanism that
keeps the umbrella up only works when
the crank is turned clockwise.
Turn counterclockwise
