Using your SKLZ Premier Sport Brella is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot outdoors. Use the twist handle on the premium auger bit to anchor the umbrella firmly into the ground. Adjust the tilt mechanism on the 1.25” center pole to get the best angle for sun or rain protection. You can unzip the windows to let air flow through and keep the umbrella stable. If you don't need the side panels, use the external stow - away clips to store them. For storage, use the reinforced carry bag included. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, shake off any dirt or water. Let it dry completely before storing. Check the ground stakes and auger bit regularly for any signs of wear. Avoid using the umbrella in extremely strong winds to prevent damage.
