IMPORTANT
Proper installation suitable to site conditions is the responsibility of the installer.
For removal of pole, reverse steps 1 through 7 to prevent frame damage.
CAUTION:
When high wind conditions are expected, use Come-A-Longs to lower Funbrella Palm and remove top.
Then either raise frame and insert bolt/nut/spacer assembly to hold bottom hub in place - or - remove
rafters and braces.
FUNBRELLA PALM MAINTENANCE
Maintenance should be performed on the frame and top at least once a year.
Frame:
1. Check bolts fastening top hub casting to center pole. Tighten or replace if worn.
2. Inspect condition of top and bottom aluminum hub castings. There should be no cracks in the hinge
ears or excessive wear in the bolt holes.
3. Check flat ends of bows and braces. There should be no breaks in the metal or excessive wear to
the bolt holes.
4. Check all bolts fastening bows and braces to the castings for wear. Lock nuts are to be tightened
so at least one and one half threads are exposed beyond the nut. Over-tightening can result in frame
damage.
Fabric Top:
1. Store fabric top in a cool, dry area. If prolonged storage is anticipated, clean with warm water and
mild soap. Never store while wet or damp.
2. Contact with organic solvents, halogens, cleaning solutions or highly acidic substances may reduce
the service life of the fabric and void the warranty.
