to move this back to the operational position as illustrated in
Step 21 Lift and slide the carriage up until it clicks into the fully open position. Please take care to ensure the ribs clear
all objects and persons. This action will require a bit of effort as the Gas Spring is not installed yet.
Tip: The Top Catch must be in the Temporary Installation position - See Figure 16.
Step 22 Unscrew and remove the Gas Spring bolt from the Main-Spar and reinsert it through the Top Eyelet of the Gas
Spring.
Note: Ensure the Gas Spring is the right way round, the larger body should be at the top and the thin shaft at
the bottom.
Step 23 Swing the Gas Spring into place and secure the Bottom Eyelet to the pivot point on the Mast.
Step 24 Reposition the Top Catch into the permanent operational position. –
Note: There are three adjustable positions. We recommend starting with the middle position.
Step 25 Open and close the Frame a few times to ensure smooth operation.
Step 26 Repeat for Frames 3 and 4 for a Trio and Quattro Umbrella.

Note: Please move the Top Catch into the final operational position. The Middle Position is the factory default
position. The Upper Position will tighten the Fabric Canopy whilst the lowest fixing position will remove
some of the tension in the Fabric Canopy. Fabric Canopies tend to stretch slightly over time.
Tip: When new, the Fabric Canopies might require a bit more force to open. Moving the Top Catch to its
lowest setting will ease this operation until the Fabric Canopy has stretched into position.
