CARAVITA BIG BEN Handling Instructions Manual page 3

Prepare your mobile stand or ground anchor as instructed by their
corresponding manual and have the required accessory hardware
ready for install. All sheet stands that use pavers should have the
appropriate pavers installed and fillable stands should be filled with appropriate
weighted material.
Remove the protection bag before installing if you do not have a push-rod which
enables you to remove the protection bag from a set up umbrella.
Install the supplied cover cap and finial at the top of the umbrella.
Before setting up the umbrella, make sure the area is clear of people and objects underneath that could be harmed
or damaged and or could cause damage to the umbrella.
Please be aware, that the umbrella is very tall, and thus hard to balance in an upright position. For this reason hold
the umbrella firmly when installing to reduce the risk of injury.
To set up the umbrella, set the center screw on either the mobile base or ground anchor. Using the alignment guide
on the base of the umbrella, position on the set screw, and raise the umbrella. Hold the umbrella upright while a
second person screws it to the base with the 4 screws provided.
The purpose of the plastic mesh attached to the struts is to provide protection to the shade against
damage during transport. Once the umbrella is open, the mesh can be removed carefully with scissors or
a knife. Be careful not to damage the shade!
