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.

M A I N T A I N I N G F R A M E & F I T T I N G S

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. Remove canopy from structure.

4. To replace the canopy, reverse the above process.

Please read this entire manual before installing or operating your Corona umbrella.

Light Winds Only

When installed properly, the Corona is engineered to handle light wind conditions in

the open canopy position. Please adhere to these common sense wind guidelines:

1. As winds get stronger, or in anticipation or uncertain/severe weather conditions,

the canopy should be lowered to the folded and strapped position.

2. The Corona should always be left in the folded and strapped position when

unattended or not in use.

3. In anticipation of, and during extremely severe weather conditions, it is advisable to

remove and store the Corona to protect it from storm-related debris.

To open canopy:

1. Undo strap and position yourself under the canopy arms so you can easily reach

the rope.

2. Pull rope slowly to open umbrella. CAUTION: Arms will need to be freed manually

to facilitate opening the first time. NEVER force arms!

3. Continue pulling rope until the canopy is taut and lock the rope in the jam cleat.

Wind the excess rope around hook bracket.

To close canopy:

1. Stand next to the pole and pull the rope out of the jam cleat. Hold rope and

release carefully until the arms are completely folded down.

After you installed the spacer buttons and you have installed your base plate(s), adapter

plate (if using a mount kit or steel base plate), or have set up your base, you are ready

to install your umbrella.

Lift complete umbrella and install onto adapter plate. Bolt umbrella to adapter plate to

secure umbrella in place.

NOTE: Free standing BC05x steel base frames do not need adapter plate slots to

square up with umbrella.

You are now ready to operate your umbrella!

To install spacer buttons:

1. Ensure that all arms of the umbrella are free and not locked down. You will need

to pull the arms out a little way and hold them before opening the umbrella with

the winder.

2. Using the winder open the umbrella until you

can access the arms easily.

3. Screw the white plastic spacer buttons into the

pre-drilled holes on the arms of

your Shademaker umbrella. They are located

just below the connection point of the arms.

To ensure proper longevity, correct installation is essential. There are four standard

installation options which provide the best stability for the Corona. Depending on your

situation, you will have requested one or more of the following mounting kits at the time of

your order; either the Concrete Mount Kit, In-Ground Mount Kit, Wooden Deck Mount Kit,

or a Free Standing Base.

1. CONCRETE MOUNT KIT - This kit includes a base plate, four (4) stem bolts and one

(1) allen wrench.

2. IN-GROUND MOUNT KIT - This kit includes an in-ground fitting, four (4) stem bolts

and one (1) allen wrench.

3. WOODEN DECK MOUNT KIT - This kit includes two (2) base plates, four (4) stem

bolts and one (1) allen wrench.

4. FREE STANDING BASE - You may opt to use a free standing base for your Corona

umbrella. Any free standing base with a stem for a 1-1/2” diamater pole will work. We

recommend a minimum of a 100-130 lbs. (depending on the side of your umbrella)

base weight for this umbrella.

The Corona will need the Spacer Buttons inserted.

I M P O R T A N T :

Insert the Spacer Buttons Immediately!

It is imperative that the eight (8) (4, if square) spacer buttons (white plastic cups/screws)

are inserted after the canopy is opened for the first time. Spacer buttons stop the arms

from closing completely and make it much easier to open the canopy single-handedly.

When opening the canopy for the first time, the arms will have to be helped open

manually to facilitate cranking. Never force the arms! Once the canopy is open, insert

the spacer buttons. Holes have been predrilled and you will need to insert the spacer

buttons (white plastic cups/screws), one per arm.

Again, the spacer buttons for the Corona ensure that the umbrella opens easily and

prevents the arms from being locked in the down position. Until the spacer buttons are

installed, you will need to manually pull the arms out with each opening to facilitate

winding of the canopy.

Operating your umbrella without spacer buttons can result in damage to the canopy

arms, winder mechanism and/or internal parts. Never force the umbrella to open.

Damage resulting from failure to properly install the spacer buttons, and repairs resulting

from not having eight spacer buttons inserted at all times is not covered by your

Shademaker Warranty.
