The 100% solution dyed canopy will last longer if you fold it as it was packed and
shipped. This technique is similar to the way a parachute is folded and is especially
important when folding the canopy for seasonal storage or when left in the closed
position for an extended period of time.
Using this technique at all times will significantly extend the life of
the canopy.
1. When the canopy has been fully lowered, stand in front of the
canopy structure and begin the folding process by pulling out
two panels opposite the mast.
Pull the two panels together and roll tight into the canopy.
2. Once rolled tight, pull adjacent panels out one at a time and
fold to the center, alternating sides until all the panels have
been pulled out from the arms and folded into the center.
3. Strap the canopy to the mast with the strap.
P R O T E C T I V E C O V E R
1. Screw rods together and insert into slit of the cover.
2. Unzip cover.
3. Using the rod as a guide, slide cover over your umbrella.
4. Pull on string to zip down your cover and tie.

1. Hose frame with water periodically, more often if installation is in a salty or industrial
environment.
2. Inspect the installation fitting on a regular basis and tighten if necessary.
M A I N T A I N I N G C A N O P Y F A B R I C
1. Clean up spills and stains right away. Spills can be removed by using a clean,
absorbent cloth.
2. For general maintenance, use a soft brush to remove dust and dry soil or wash
down with clean, warm water (i.e. garden hose) every so often so dirt does not
become engrained. Allow the fabric to dry naturally before closing the canopy.
3. If a thorough cleaning is necessary, sponge over the fabric using a mild soap
solution (2% solution). Rinse well with plenty of water to remove all soap residue.
4. Never use detergents, cleaning fluids, or solvents. Grease and oil stains may be
removed by using turpentine or similar with an absorbent cloth.
5. We recommend giving the canopy a good clean on a more frequent basis if
installed in a location where the canopy is likely to become soiled.
R E M O V A L & R E P L A C E M E N T O F C A N O P Y
Follow these instructions should you choose to replace your canopy with a new canopy.
1. Lower the canopy to the closed position.
2. Remove the button/screw at the end of each arm.
3. Separate the Velcro strap along the main canopy arm and remove the canopy from
the structure.

Light to Moderate Winds (if used with mount kits)
When installed properly, the Sirius is engineered to handle light to moderate wind
conditions in the open canopy position. Please adhere to these wind guidelines:
1. If winds are present, the Sirius should be closed.
2. Do not keep the Sirius in a tilt position if you are experiencing windy conditions.
3. 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.
4. The Sirius should always be left in the folded and strapped position when
unattended or not in use.
5. In anticipation of, and during extremely severe weather conditions, it is
advisable to remove and store the entire Sirius structure to protect it from
storm-related debris.

To Open and Tilt Canopy
The following instructions will walk you through the sequential progression of opening
the Sirius canopy structure. At any time, you may skip a position and open to the
desired position.
Open to the first position:
1. Remove the strap that holds the Sirius to the mast when in the closed position and
loosen arms. CAUTION: NEVER FORCE THE ARMS. If you experience any
resistance, make sure all arms are freed manually to facilitate opening.
2. Pull slider car stop pin out and turn counter clockwise to disengage.
3. Insert crank handle into gear. Begin turning the crank handle clockwise until the slider
car stop pin auto locates into the lowest predetermined hole. Continue cranking until
the canopy is taut. The canopy will now be in Tilt position 1.
Open to the second position:
1. Crank handle counter-clockwise for a few rotations to release the
pressure.
2. Disengage slider car stop pin (horizontal position) and guide the
slider car upward until the pin locates in the next predetermined
hole. It may be necessary to turn the winder a few times until the
pin locates. Once the pin is located in the hole, continue cranking
handle until the canopy is taut. The canopy will now be in Tilt
position 2.

There are four standard installation options which provide the best stability for the Sirius.
Depending on your situation, you will have requested one or more of the Sirius base options
at the time of your order.
1. CONCRETE MOUNT KIT - This kit includes a base plate, four (4) plate bolts, and
one (1) allen wrench.
2. IN-GROUND MOUNT KIT - This kit includes in-ground fitting, four (4) plate bolts,
and one (1) allen wrench.
3. STEEL BASE WEIGHT - 213 lbs. Square steel base weight is available (SM PLATE
required). We recommend a minimum of 400-600 lbs. of steel base weights for this
umbrella (depending on the size of your umbrella).
4. FREE STANDING STEEL FRAME - You may opt to use a free standing base for
your Sirius umbrella. We recommend a minimum of a 350-450lbs. base weight for
this umbrella (depending on the size of your umbrella). NOTE: If using a free-standing
steel frame, wind guidelines change from light to moderate winds to light winds only.
NOTE: REFER TO BASE WEIGHT MATRIX AND SEPARATE
MANUAL FOR BASE ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO PROCEEDING.

storm-related debris.
To Close Canopy
1. Pull slider car stop pin and turn counter clockwise to
vertical position so the slider car can move freely move
down mast. At the same time, guide slider car downward
with your other hand. Release slider car stop pin to lock in
place.
2. Insert crank handle into gear. Stand behind umbrella and
turn crank handle counter-clockwise canopy is lowered.
3. Strap canopy to the mast with supplied strap.

To open light adapter:
Loosen light adapter built into the umbrella runner by turning
counter-clockwise. After loosening, pull down light adapter
post and attach umbrella light (sold separately).
To close light adapter:
Gently push up the light adapter post back into umbrella
runner and tighten turning clockwise NOTE: It is not
necessary to remove light to close umbrella.
To Rotate 360°
1. There are (8) 45° locking rotating positions. Raise the
turning handle above 90° and rotate mast to one of the
8 preset positions.
2. Lower handle to lock into place.
Open to the third position:
1. Repeat steps 1-3 outlined on previous page.
2. The canopy will now be in the Horizontal position.
HELPFUL HINT: At any time, you may skip a position and open to the desired position
by turning the slider car stop pin parallel with the mast. In this position, the pin will NOT
auto locate as it passes over the predetermined holes. If you choose to pass the tilt
position(s) and go directly to the horizontal canopy position, you may move the pin into the
parallel position and continue winding, but be sure to turn the pin back to the horizontal
position before the horizontal canopy position is attained. If you pass the top hole, take the
tension out of the canopy and then pull the slider car stop pin down and into the top hole.
