Using the UB200 umbrella is easy. First, choose a stable spot for your work area. If you're using the tripod stand (sold separately), set it up firmly on the ground. Then, insert the umbrella pole into the stand. Adjust the height to your comfort using the push - button locks. You can pick from three different heights, with the tallest being 87.5'. The tilt mechanism lets you change the direction of the shade, so you can always stay in the cool area.
When it comes to safety, remember that the umbrella is flame - resistant, but you still shouldn't expose it to open flames. Also, be careful when adjusting the height or tilt to avoid pinching your fingers.
For maintenance, keep the umbrella clean. You can use a mild soap and water to wipe down the fabric. After cleaning, let it dry completely before storing it. The included carry/storage bag is great for keeping the umbrella safe when not in use. Just fold the umbrella up and put it in the bag. And if you need to store small items like tools or gloves, use the outside storage pocket.
