Wind Resistance And Guidelines; Installation Guidelines - Shademaker SOLARIS Series Owner's Manual

When installed properly using a mount kit, the umbrella is engineered to handle
moderate wind conditions in the open canopy position. Please adhere to these wind
guidelines:
1. Do not keep the umbrella in a tilt position if you are experiencing windy
conditions.
2. As winds get stronger or, in anticipation or uncertain/severe weather
conditions, the canopy should be lowered to the folded position and strapped
to the mast.
3. The umbrella should always be left in the folded and strapped position when
unattended or not in use.
4. In anticipation of, and during extremely severe weather conditions, it is
advisable to remove and store the entire umbrella structure to protect it from
storm-related debris.
NOTE: Wind resistance should only be used as a guideline. Wind is not covered by
warranty. See page 14 for more information.
Depending on your installation, you will have purchased a mount kit or free-standing
base at the time of your order. For free-standing base applications, it is imperative
to purchase the appropriate base for your umbrella. The minimum base weight
required for each style and size is:
• SOL-27S, SOL-30 is 300 lbs.
• SOL-30S is 350 lbs.
• SOL-35 is 400 lbs.
• POL-35S, POL-340RT is 550 lbs.
• POL-40, POL-40S is 700 lbs.*
*Permanent mount recommended
NOTE: If using a free-standing base, wind guidelines change to light winds only.
Using a Shademaker mount kit is always the preferred method of securing your
umbrella above all other methods. We recommend a licensed contractor to secure
your Shademaker umbrellas.
