Instant Shade Umbrella Monaco Instructions

Monaco Umbrella Instruc�ons
Opening your Monaco umbrella for the first time:
Remove all packaging and stand the umbrella up in a base.
1.
Gently spread the 8 x arms outwards while at the same �me firmly pulling down on the rope.
2.
Open the umbrella completely and put the locking pin through one of the holes.
3.
You then must install all 8 x provided spacer bu�ons into the pre-drilled holes on each of the
4.
support arms. You will need a screw driver and possibly a chair or ladder to complete this. See
example below. Make sure the screws are wound all the way in and that the spacer bu�on is firmly
secured. The purpose of these canopy bu�ons is to make the umbrella easy to open.
IMPORTANT – FAILURE TO INSTALL ALL 8 X SPACER BUTTONS WILL INVALIDATE THE UMBRELLA WARRANTY.
Care instructions
Make sure you use the Monaco umbrella in a good quality and suitably weighted base. The stability of the
umbrella in the wind is determined by the weight and size (footprint) of the base. The bigger and heavier
the be�er. You risk damaging your Monaco umbrella if it is blown over in the wind.
Don't use your umbrella in excessive winds. Close the umbrella and firmly apply the strap around the
closed umbrella. If you have purchased a protec�ve cover bag then also put that on the umbrella for extra
protec�on.
When you open the umbrella, try to get the locking pin in to a suitable hole so that the canopy fabric is firm
and taut as this makes the umbrella strong. The umbrella canopy fabric should not be loose when open as
it will flap in the wind causing unnecessary wear and tear.
Don't pull out on the umbrella arms to open the umbrella as you risk bending the arms outwards. Instead
pull down firmly on the rope to open the umbrella. If you like you can also use your other hand to push the
sliding hub upwards at the same �me.
Make sure your umbrella is stored dry and clean to reduce any risk of mould on the umbrella fabric. You
can remove any dirt or marks using warm soapy water and a cloth or a so� bristled brush.
To ensure your umbrella fabric stays looking good for the maximum number of years its recommended you
cover the umbrella with a protec�ve cover when not in use. This reduces wear and tear on the fabric
caused by pollu�on, dust, salt spray, pollen, birds, wind and excessive exposure to the sun.
