CAP ASSEMBLING
SHADE is provided with the not-assembled aluminium CAP, which need to protect the top fabric cover from any injure.
Before installing the SHADE art.981 and the basement, it needs to assemble the CAP by screw and hexagonal key. To
assemble the cap we suggest to put the umbrella over the carton board of the packaging to avoid any injures to the
fabric cover.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS & GUIDELINES
To ensure longevity, correct installation is essential. There are two standard installation options which provide the best
stability for the SHADE art.981.
1. BASE
2. BASE IN-GROUND FITTING
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure proper installation, please carefully follow these instructions before installing your BASE or BASE IN-
GROUND FITTING:
PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE SHADE
If the exact position of the SHADE art.981 canopy (when in the open position) is important to you, it is imperative that
the installation fitting (BASE) is properly aligned. Please read the instructions below to ensure that your canopy hangs
in the desired position.
BASE INSTALLATION
Please, keep the umbrella closed and tied up with the strap to avoid that it can be opened during the assembling
process.
The BASE has five (5) threaded holes. We suggest to put n.4 BALLASTS (optional) into the BASE frame in order to
keep fixed at the ground the umbrella. The five (5) holes of the MAST(2) must be aligned to the five (5) threaded holes
of the base. The MAST must be lined up square to whatever you are aligning your SHADE with (i.e. the side of your
house, the edge of your patio, etc.), so that you can achieve the SHADE in the PRIMARY CANOPY POSITION. When
MAST holes are aligned to the BASE ones, you can start screwing the bolts to fix the MAST to the BASE.
BASE IN-GROUND FITTING INSTALLATION
Please, keep the umbrella closed and tied up with the strap to avoid that it can be opened during the assembling
process. Pay attention to install the BASEMENT in an area without obstacles which can impede the operating of the
umbrella.
The BASE has four (4) holes to fix itself in-ground. You need steel bolts (not included) to fix it in the ground. They are
not available in SHADE assembly kit. We suggest putting n.4 BALLASTS into the housing of the base and then the
BASE COVER, aligned with the central hole. The MAST must be lined up square to whatever you are aligning your
SHADE with (i.e. the side of your house, the edge of your patio, etc.), so that you can achieve the SHADE in the
PRIMARY CANOPY POSITION. When MAST holes are aligned to the BASE ones, you can start screwing the bolts to
fix the MAST to the BASE.
The BASE can be fixed to the floors, by the holes of the BASE and suitable bolts for cement floors. Please, ask to an
hardware store the bolts most suitable for your floor.

CRANK ASSEMBLING
Once that you have installed the BASE with the umbrella, you can assemble the CRANK, before opening SHADE
art.981.
To assemble the CRANK you need a screw (without head) and hexagonal key you can find in the assembly kit.
You have to put the CRANK into the BRASS INSERT and fix it tightening the screw by the hexagonal key.
