Frequently Asked Questions - Alu-Smart Glatz

How to assemble the Alu-Smart umbrella?

Insert the upper pole with the canopy into the lower pole, tighten the clamping screw, then screw on the canopy cap. Place the umbrella in a base of the minimum required weight (30-40 kg depending on size) on a flat, stable surface.

How to open the umbrella?

Loosen the strap, gently pull the ribs outward, then slide the slider upward until you hear a click. Make sure the area is clear.

How to adjust the umbrella height?

Hold the upper pole firmly, loosen the clamping screw, adjust to the desired height, then retighten the screw. The adjustment is done by sliding the upper pole in the lower pole.

How to tilt the umbrella canopy?

Hold the moving part of the upper pole, fully press the tilt lock mechanism, then tilt the umbrella to the desired angle. Release the lock to secure.

How to close the umbrella?

Place the canopy in the straight position (the tilt mechanism should click), unlock the slider downward, pull it all the way down, straighten or roll the canopy, and fasten the strap.

What base to use for the Alu-Smart umbrella?

Use a base of at least 30-40 kg depending on umbrella size. For 200 and 220 cm models, 30 kg is sufficient; for 250 cm and larger models, 40 kg is recommended. With a fixed anchor, wind resistance is higher.

What is the wind resistance of the umbrella?

With a fixed ground anchor, the maximum allowable wind speed ranges from 35 to 75 km/h depending on size (e.g., 75 km/h for 200 cm, 35 km/h for 300 cm). With a simple base, values are reduced. Always close the umbrella in strong winds.

How to maintain the umbrella canopy?

Clean the canopy with warm water and delicate laundry detergent using a sponge. For extra protection, apply a waterproofing fluorinated aerosol. Let the umbrella dry completely open before storing to prevent mold and odors.

How to maintain the aluminum frame?

Regularly spray a silicone or Teflon-based dry lubricant on moving parts (slider, hinge, screw). Sliding marks on aluminum can be removed with a damp cloth.

Where to find spare parts and accessories?

Contact your GLATZ dealer for original spare parts (bases, sockets, covers, LED lights, etc.). Only use original accessories to ensure safety and durability.

What you should do if...

? Problem! Possible solutions

The shade is hard to open. Service the rods occasionally with silicon spray.
Slip-marks on the aluminium rods.	These are normal marks of use which can be removed with a damp cloth.
The shade cannot be tilted. Push tilt lock in fully.
	Service the angle joints occasionally with silicon spray.
The shade height cannot be adjusted.	Loosen the clamping screw so that it no longer has any clamping effect. Service the upper and lower pole occasionally with silicon spray.

Maintenance and care

• Allow the sunshade to dry out in an open position to prevent development of mould, odours and discolouration. Store the sunshade in a dry place once it is completely dry.
• Clean the canopy of the sunshade if required with lukewarm water, mild detergent and a sponge. If required, the fabric can be re-impregnated with a fluorine containing spray.
• The optionally available protective cover should only be pulled over the dry shade when dry.
• The optionally available protective cover is not to be washed in the washing machine nor dry cleaned.
• Do not use bleach or sharp objects to prevent damage to the coating of the canopy.
• Clean the shade framework regularly to ensure that the moving parts move smoothly. If required, use a silicon or Teflon dry lubricant. Wipe away any slip marks on the aluminium rods with a damp cloth.
• If the sunshade is standing in a very exposed place, increased wear must be expected. In such cases we recommend more intensive maintenance and care.
• In most situations, defective shades can be repaired by your GLATZ partner. Use only original replacement parts from GLATZ.

Disassembly

Disassemble the sunshade if it is not going to be used for a longer period. WARNING! DANGER OF TIPPING. DANGER OF INJURY CAUSED BY SUNSHADE TIPPING OVER.

1 Close the sunshade correctly and tie up.
