How to use your beach umbrella

1. Make sure the lower pole is secured at least 35cm deep in the sand.

2. To angle the canopy, hold on to the upper pole before unlocking the hinge. To unlock the hinge, turn the dial anti-clockwise as far as possible. The correct position is shown below.

Let the upper pole rotate to the desired position. It is recommended to not exceed an angle of 45 degrees. Always try to tilt the umbrella into the wind as this will minimise the chance of it lifting out of the sand.

3. To lock the hinge, rotate the dial clockwise until the vertical grip is parallel to the lower pole. The correct position is shown below.

The Basil Hinge should feel easy to lock and unlock. If jammed, do not force the hinge to close as it may cause damage.

4. Taking an umbrella to the beach is your responsibility. In windy or gusty conditions we recommend lowering the umbrella to prevent any risk of it flying away.
