10' (3.0m) OFFSET LED PATIO UMBRELLA
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
SAFETY WARNING
Offset patio umbrellas are designed to provide protection from the sun NOT the wind.
• NEVER open or operate this umbrella in wind conditions greater than 5mph (8kph).
• NEVER use the tilt function in any wind (even a light breeze).
• NEVER use excessive force on the crank handle to open or close the umbrella.
• ALWAYS close and secure the umbrella when not in use or during any strong wind event, especially gusting
wind and rain.
• ALWAYS close the umbrella when unattended or not in use. If you are not sitting under it, the umbrella
should be closed.
• ALWAYS use the Velcro straps to properly secure the canopy to the frame when the umbrella is closed.
• Base weights are required (additional purchase) to secure this umbrella. NEVER open or operate the
umbrella without first placing base weights in each open section of the cross base. It is important to use a
correctly weighted base; more weight is always better than less weight. This model requires a MINIMUM
base weight of 192lb (88kg).
FAILURE TO CAREFULLY OBSERVE THESE SAFETY WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC
DAMAGE TO YOUR UMBRELLA, POTENTIAL PERSONAL INJURY AND OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If the umbrella is showing ANY signs of stress, or IF the umbrella begins to move around excessively even
when properly weighted it indicates the wind is too strong and the umbrella must be closed and secured
immediately.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
•
To help extend the life of the polyester fabric and reduce the effects of fading we strongly advise using a
protective storage cover whenever the umbrella is not being used.
•
During extended periods of bad weather (especially through winter months) your umbrella should be stored
inside in a dry place.
•
The polyester fabric has been treated to make it dirt and shower resistant (not waterproof), if your umbrella
gets wet please allow it to fully dry before storing it away. The fabric can be cleaned with a soft brush then
use a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove any stubborn stains.
BEFORE YOU START
•
Check you have all the listed parts before you start assembling.
•
In the event of missing or damaged parts, contact our customer support team via your Amazon account.
•
Assemble on a soft surface such as a drop sheet or rug to avoid scratching.

Step 3
Locate the plug at the top of the umbrella. Carefully
insert the plug into the socket located on the
underside of the solar panel.
Step 4
Place the solar panel on the top of the umbrella
taking care to conceal the wires inside the gap
at the top of the umbrella, then gently turn the solar
panel in a clockwise direction to attach it to the
umbrella. Take care not to over tighten as this may
damage the umbrella and/or the solar panel.
Step 5
Place the assembled cross base in your preferred
location then follow the 'Cross Base Installation
Tips' on page 5.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Unfasten the Velcro storage straps from the canopy
and main frame.
Step 6
Attach the main frame and canopy to the central
spigot. Ensure that the locating pin is positioned into
the cutout in the top of the central spigot. Tighten
the two tension screws firmly.
F
NOTE: The central spigot is designed with
a reverse angle to ensure the canopy sits
level once assembled. It is very important
to correctly locate the crank winder directly
above the tension screws as shown.
Step 2
Unlock the lift clamp. Gently slide the arm upwards
to fully extend the umbrella.

Step 3
When the umbrella arm is fully extended, lock the lift
clamp and slide the lock cover into place as shown.
Step 4
Turn the crank handle in a clockwise direction to
open the canopy (take care not to keep winding the
crank handle once the canopy is fully opened). Use
the tie strings provided at the back of the canopy to
secure it to the main umbrella pole.
Step 5
To close the umbrella, first undo the tie strings and then wind the crank handle gently in a counter clockwise
direction until the canopy is fully closed. CRITICAL STEP: Always remember to slide the lock cover
away from the vertical lift mechanism BEFORE lowering the umbrella arm. Unlock the lift clamp and
gently slide the arm downwards to fully lower the umbrella. Fasten the Velcro storage straps around the
canopy and main frame.
NOTE: A regular application of silicon spray to the sliding mechanisms will assist with smooth
operation.
Step 6
Locate the umbrella in direct sunlight to charge the batteries before first use.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Charge the batteries for at least 8 hours in direct sunlight before first use, failing
to follow this step will shorten the lifespan of the re-chargeable batteries and decrease the
performance of the lights. Make sure both the switches on the rib are set to the “OFF” ‘O’ position
during charging.
To operate the lights, turn the switches (located on the end of one rib) to the ON (‘I’) position. Ensure
both switches are set to the OFF (‘O’) position when the lights are not being used.
IMPORTANT: If the lights are accidentally left on during the day the batteries will NOT charge and the
lights will not operate at night.
I=ON
O=OFF

REPLACING THE BATTERIES
The batteries in your LED umbrella must be replaced at least once every year (or when you feel that the light
is fading more quickly). You can purchase replacement batteries at specialty retailers.
You will need 3 pieces AA size 1.2v 800mAh NIMH rechargeable batteries which are the same as have been
supplied from new.
Failure to insert batteries in the correct polarity, as indicated in the battery compartment, may shorten
the life of the batteries or cause them to leak. NEVER dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries must be
recycled or disposed of as per state and local guidelines. NEVER mix old and new batteries. NEVER
mix , Standard (Carbon-Zinc) or rechargeable (Nickel Cadmium) or (Lithium) batteries together in the
solar panel.
Step 1
Twist the solar panel counter
clockwise and remove it from
the top of the umbrella.
Step 4
Carefully open the solar
panel. Replace the batteries,
matching the +/- on the battery
with the +/- on the battery case.
Step 2
Carefully pull the plug out of the
socket under the solar panel.
IMPORTANT: Do not pull the
wire to remove the plug.
Step 5
Make sure the O ring is correctly
located before replacing the
cover.
Step 3
Set the solar panel upside
down on a soft, clean surface
to avoid scratching. Loosen all
three screws on the bottom of
the solar panel.
Step 6
Re-assemble the solar panel. Do
not over tighten the screws.
OFFSET UMBRELLA BASE TIPS
STANDARD INSTALLATION
• The cross base supplied with this offset umbrella
requires 4 individual base weights at least 48lb
(22kg) each for a minimum combined weight of
192lb (88kg) to provide the necessary support and
stability. As a general rule the more weight the better
the umbrella will be supported.
• Failing to use the minimum base weight will damage
the umbrella and may also cause personal injury.
SPECIAL INSTALLATION
• If you have a suitable timber deck, the cross base
can be secured to it using 2” (5cm) M8 coach
bolts or deck screws (not supplied). Ensure the
fixing points are made into joists or bearers not just
the decking boards. If using this option, extreme
care must be taken to ensure the umbrella is never
opened or used in wind greater than 5mph (8kph).
