In the box:

Umbrella, cantilever and accessories. Unwrap and inspect the contents.

Cantilever clamps — designed for maximum strength and durability, use the bright colored spinner nut to loosen and move the cantilever tubes in all directions. The spinner nut also holds the cantilever parts tightly in position. This system is extremely strong — once you have it set into the desired position TIGHTEN THE SPINNER NUT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.
(You cannot over tighten these clamps —we tried)

 

OPEN

LOCK

To adjust the clamps, partially loosen the spinner nut— just enough to release clamp pressure on both attached cantilever tubes (about 4 rotations). The black release wedge can be pushed-in to force open the locked clamp, making the cantilever tubes easy to rotate or slide in and out. Push the opposite side of the black wedge to retighten the clamp.

To change the angle of the cantilever tubes, loosen the spinner nut even more (over 8 rotations) and the gear teeth will open. You will decide on the best position for your boat. A good starting point is pictured here, with the rod holder insert at approximately 45 degrees from straight and the umbrella hanger at about 1 00 degrees from straight.

The slot of the rod holder insert will hold the port/starboard position of the cantilever. For some rod holders, it may be necessary to remove the nylon insert for proper fit. Be sure to use the included locking pin (REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT) to anchor the cantilever system to the rod holder.

The umbrella hanger has a cone shaped tip and catch bolt to receive the umbrella frame, which is oriented for the center of the shade symmetry. Position the catch bolt to face the cantilever so the "short side" of the shade is under the cantilever.

There is a pushrod inside the umbrella center tube. This moves when the shade is inserted into the hanger and then opened into position. As the shade handle is clicked solid, the pushrod prevents the shade from moving vertically in the hanger slot and cannot release in a gust of wind.

NEW FOR THIS GEMINI MODEL:

Almost all of the shade frame parts have been updated for the new Gemini Rocket Shade. The hubs are beefed up, the carbon rib tips are enhanced to match, and the shade hanger system has been reversed with the bayonet slot inside the shade frame and the bayonet pin bolt on the cantilever hanger tube.

The Rocket Shade operation is the completely same as depicted in training videos, only the shade hanger parts are different. Vertical insertion and clockwise rotation follow the same slot path on both Rocket Shade models.
