Operation Manual

Easy SunPARASOLn Sunshade

Introduction

SUN-GARDEN offers you, with the Easy SunPARASOLnSunshade, a high quality technically advanced and long-lasting product. It is constructed to the current technological state of the art and recognised safety standards.

The following operation manual should help you to enjoy using your sunshade for a long time ahead.

This operation manual applies both to the 4-cornered and 8-cornered version of the sunshade, as the only difference between the sunshades is the shape of the sunshade frame and the canopy. Many sketches in the operation manual show the 8-cornered version of the sunshade.

They are used for clarity and can equally be applied to the 4-cornered version. All operation and working sequences are identical for both versions.

The manual contains information about the following topics:

• Safety
• Installation
• Operation
• Care

Please read the operation manual carefully before using the sunshade. Damages caused by non-observance of the instructions are excluded from any liability and guarantee.

The sunshade has been designed as protection from the sun, and is intended for this use only.

Use the sunshade only

• for its intended use as a sunshade
• in a technically correct condition

Malfunctions, which could influence the safety and function of the sunshade must be rectified immediately.

All repairs described in the manual can be carried out by the user. Any further complicated repairs should not be carried out by the user. The repair information is intended or those persons who are competent to use the tools described safely. Only carry out this repair work using suitable tools.

We reserve the right to make alterations without prior notice due to technical improvements. The following manual may neither be reprinted or copied without the prior consent of SUN-GARDEN.

4.0 Fittings

4.1 General

Material such as plastic, plastic coated aluminium and non-rusting steel have been used for all mechanical components of the sunshade. This enables the sunshade to have a very high degree of weather resistance, functionality and service life.

4.2 Nameplate

The nameplate is attached to the stand tube in the vicinity of the lower slider tube stop. The following information is printed on the nameplate:

• Sunshade model
• Manufacturer
  • Manufacturer's address
  • Manufacturer's Internet address

4.3 Canopy material

The canopy material is manufactured in Polyester fabric or Polypropylene depending on the version. Both fabric types are treated to be water-repellent. Coloured canopies are tested for light and colour fastness (DIN 54 004).

The canopy material can be removed from the sunshade easily for cleaning. Please observe the information in the chapter entitled "Care".

water-repellent. water a.

Note

The sunshade canopy material is treated to be water-repellent. This treatment is however not intended to prevent water penetration in heavy rainfall.

The Easy Sun PARASOL is not an umbrella.

4.4 Sunshade frame

The sunshade frame is used to tension the canopy material. It consists of the frame arms and two frame seats.

The canopy material is fixed to the sunshade frame with velcro bands and screws.

Opening the frame is done by a cable which is operated by the winch handle.

4.5 Operating elements: the winch handle

The winch handle, manufactured in stainless steel, is used to open and close the sunshade. Handling is improved by the winch handle having a rotating handle on bearings.

The winch handle length is designed so that the sunshade can be opened or closed without needing too much strength.

4.6 Operating elements: the block

The sunshade sliding tube is held in the required position by the block.

After loosening the locking screw the sunshade inclination can be altered and adapted to the angle of the sun.

4.7 Sliding tube stop

The sliding tube stops limit the sunshade inclination.

They prevent the sunshade being adjusted to too great an inclination.

4.8 Floor sleeve

The floor sleeve is fitted to the bottom of the sunshade stand tube.

It is used to centre the stand tube in the floor stand and ensures that the sunshade is stably mounted.

4.9 Protective cover

The protective cover, made of weather-resistant PE fabric, protects the sunshade from damage to the frame arms and the canopy material in any weather.

Despite this the sunshade should not be left out in the open in extreme weather conditions such as storms or heavy frost, but should be kept in a dry and protected location.
