How To Properly Fold Canopy; Protective Cover; Canopy Removal And Replacement - Shademaker SOLARIS Series Owner's Manual

The 100% solution dyed canopy will last longer if you fold it as it was packed
and shipped. This technique is similar to the way a parachute is folded and is
especially important when folding the canopy for seasonal storage or when left
in the closed position for an extended period of time.
Using this technique at all times will significantly extend the
life of the canopy.
1. When the canopy has been fully lowered, stand in front
of the canopy structure and begin the folding process
by pulling out two panels opposite the mast.
Pull the two panels together and roll tight into the
canopy.
2. Once rolled tight, pull adjacent panels out one at a time
and fold to the center, alternating sides until all the
panels have been pulled out from the arms and folded
into the center.
3. Wrap provided strap around canopy to secure.
1. Screw rods together and insert into slit of the cover.
2. Unzip cover.
3. Using the rod as a guide, slide cover over your umbrella.
4. Pull on string to zip down your cover and tie to secure.
