Eclipse cantilever umbrella

Congratulations on purchasing your Eclipse cantilever umbrella. The Eclipse is manufactured
using the best materials and fabrics, which are designed to give you many years of use and
enjoyment. The following information is provided to advise you on how to correctly operate
your Eclipse umbrella to ensure trouble-free use and ease of operation.

Please follow these instructions as they are designed to assist you in operating the umbrella,
and to prolong the life of the various parts.

General information

Your Eclipse Umbrella is principally intended for use in low to moderate wind conditions
which will provide you with many hours of protection from the sun and light rain. You will get

maximum benet from your umbrella when you use it in accordance with our instructions and

in the weather conditions for which it is designed.

• Do not leave umbrella open when unattended, particularly in windy conditions.

• The umbrella should be securely strapped when closed, especially in strong winds and
adverse weather conditions.

• Any modications to your umbrella, except those made by Instant Shade Umbrellas, may

invalidate the warranty.

• The umbrella should be clean and dry prior to storing away for extended periods of time.
This will prevent mould from developing.

• Inspect the installation tting / base periodically and tighten if required.

Simple maintenance instructions:

(1) If you have a cover bag, we recommend you use it whenever the umbrella is closed. This

will greatly extend the life of the canopy.

(2) In coastal or metropolitan environments it is benecial to periodically wash your umbrella

using fresh water from a hose. This includes the canopy and frame.

(3) Should the 16 rotating-mechanism stop-pin holes become lled with sand or dust etc.,

remove the umbrella from its spigot and remove the spigot from the umbrella base plate.

Clean out the 16 rotating-mechanism stop-pin holes and apply some grease or lubricant to

the spigot shaft. This will be a two man job.

(4) When the umbrella is closed for extended periods of time, it is best to fold the acrylic

canvas canopy as shown in “To close Eclipse umbrella (pg7)”. This will prolong the new
look of the canvas, preventing marking caused by “pinching” in the aluminium frame.

Care & cleaning of acrylic canvas fabric

• Proper care and cleaning should be taken to ensure the life of outdoor fabrics. For regular

care and maintenance, excessive dirt should be brushed from the fabric using a soft brush;
the fabric should then be sprayed with water (i.e. garden hose) and air-dried. Periodically,
the fabric should undergo a more thorough cleaning, again, brush fabric with a soft bristled

brush, spray with water (not exceeding 100°F / 40°C), apply a gentle natural soap,(i.e.

Morning Fresh), rinse thoroughly and air-dry.

• Fabric should never be stored while wet, always ensure fabric is thoroughly dried before

storing for extended periods.

• Any early signs of mould and mildew must be removed immediately.
