To open the canopy:
1. To open the canopy, first undo the strap and position yourself under the canopy
arms so you can easily reach the crank handle. CAUTION: NEVER FORCE THE
ARMS. If you experience any resistance, make sure all arms are freed manually to
facilitate opening.
2. Once the arms have been freed manually, insert crank handle into gear.
3. Turn crank handle clockwise until the canopy is taut.
To close the canopy:
1. Turn crank handle counter-clockwise until arms are completely folded down.
2. Strap canopy to the mast. When fastening strap make sure that no fabric is caught
in between the arms of the Astral-TC as this can result in rubbing and damage to
the canopy. Use a protective cover to protect your fabric and prolong the life of the
canopy (included).
