Remove the umbrella from the box. Make sure you have all three parts necessary to assemble the umbrella -- the finial, mainframe and bottom pole. Also make sure that none of the parts are damaged.
Attach the finial to the top of the mainframe, screwing it on by hand clockwise. Turn the finial until it is completely tight.
Snap the bottom pole onto the underneath side of the mainframe. Line up the button on the mainframe with the hole in the pole to snap the pole in place.
Open the canopy on the umbrella by turning the crank on the mainframe clockwise. Do this while holding the umbrella upright.
Twist the collar in a clockwise direction on the mainframe to tilt the umbrella. Twist until you tilt the umbrella to the desired position.
Turn the crank counterclockwise to close the umbrella.
