For long lasting durability and the best possible protection for your canopy, follow these care &
maintenance instructions:

• Use a mild soap (not detergent) and plenty of water for top cleaning.

• Let the canopy top and frame dry completely before closing or storing to avoid mildew.

• The canopy frame will operate and look better if occasionally wiped with silicone spray, especially
before and after use in damp conditions. Remove excess silicone residue before attaching top.

• Slightly tighten bolts if frame becomes loose.
