Bought a manual tilt patio umbrella from Pier 1. It has a hinge. No button.
Does not tilt with crank. How do you make it tilt!
Afraid to push. Will break pole? Hinge on on side of pole and long bar on
opposite side flush with frame. Do not know which way to tilt and what is bar
for? (2 inches by 1/2 in)
