How do I open, close, rotate, and tilt the umbrella?

Open and close with the crank or glide, loosen the rotation collar to spin the canopy to the sun, and use the tilt control to angle the shade.

Daily operation

• Turn the crank smoothly; never force it if the canopy snags.
• Loosen the rotation collar to turn the canopy, then re-tighten.
• Use the tilt knob or button to lower the shade toward the sun.

Cantilever models

• Rotate the arm around the mast and lock it before use.
• Some models tilt in two planes for low evening sun.
• Always return the arm to the locked rest position when closing.
