How to tilt patio umbrella
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) -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...a-1126103-.htm |

RD. It has been awhile, but if you continue to turn the crank while raising the umbrella, it will eventually tilt for you. Sorry Gordon and Joan are assholes. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...a-1126103-.htm |
