After you tilt the umbrella how do you tilt it back to it's original location?

Using the lever. You wind it to tilt, wind other way to get back up. Very easy to use. I love the umbrella. ;)

You just keep turning the crank. It seems counterintuitive but that is what you do.

Nonot includedI bought 2 ... I dont use them .. the umbrella allows a tiny bit of tilt but not near enough. its almost like you need an elbow action bracket below the umbrella & I looked at DIY options but none were practical. good luck

My husband drilled four holes in the poles (two sets directly across from one another) then inserted a bolt through two of the holes and secured it with a wing nut. It gives me four ways to position the umbrella without spinning.

Not really, you can adjust how it is by adjusting the arm and the umbrella will move but it is free motion when it is out like this and you cannot lock it to a certain tilt

When the umbrella is fully open the cranking lever will allow you to tilt the umbrella up to about 45 degrees. About 1/2 rotation with the lever will adjust the umbrella to a 45 degree angle. About a 1/4 crank will adjust the tilt to about 22 degrees, and so on. When the umbrella is fully tilted you will feel strong cranking resistance and you will know that the umbrella is at maximum tilt position. There is no "click" to let you know that the umbrella is fully tilted, but you don't need one. You will know by the "feel" of the crank lever and by the angle of the umbrella. It is a pretty smooth, easy to use mechanism and we are happy with ours.

No it does not. You don't need a tilt because of it being an offset umbrella. It swivels which ever way you want and give you shade or sun. Hope this helps. If you live in a windy atea I would not purchase this umbrella. Here in Albuquerque we can get bad winds that come out of nowhere and this umbrella is mostly closed when it is windy.

In addition to pulling the lever out, there's a knob under the chair which adjusts "tilt tension" which is pre-set to be very tight. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to loosen it - that should make it easier to tilt.

You just lift it all the way up to the top and it will fall back down to the bottom. Then you lift it slowly to the position you choose. :-)

It does not tilt as far as some umbrellas I have purchased years ago. It is approximately 45 degrees.

Ditto on the previous comment from Crazy Horse. We have never needed to tilt it farther than the "auto tilt" of approximately 22 degrees. We have this on our 2nd story deck that gets full sun and the slight tilt is perfect. Make sure to fully open the umbrella though to engage the auto tilt.

It's not easy. You have to lift the top half a little and then lean the umbrella in the direction you want it to go. There is a chrome piece in the pole where you can see the two halves of the umbrella connect. That's the mechanism that allows you to tilt it. Recently we had some strong winds in San Diego and the umbrella pole bent a little. Now it has a permanent tilt. I keep it in my shed now unless I'm actually using it.

Just keep on cranking and once it has gone all the way up and you keep cranking it will automatically tilt

To tilt the center column, 1. pull the column all the way out and then push in the little release button (on the column) to raise the column almost out of the tripod 2. Release the lever and tip the column to your desired angle. 3. Now you can adjust the column however close the center of the tripod or out as far as it will go. It definitely has to be fully extended to tilt, but after it's tilted, you can move the column in or out. This tripod is great.

Although the umbrella I have does not tilt I do not think the table would tip with a tilt umbrella. The table is very heavy and has a solid cast base.

If you're right handed, put your left hand on the top center of the bezel , your right hand holding the bottom center of the bezel . Gently push the top backwards while gently pulling the bottom toward you. I think it tilts back only 15 degrees and forward only four degrees. It doesn't sound like very much, but it's actually quite sufficient

Hi - it does not tilt. I live in Arizona so I'm not 100% sure about the waterproof part. It did get blown into the pool at one point, and when I stood it back up it was drenched but dried pretty fast - within 2 hours. Sorry - not much help. The short screw on part is actually the bottom half of the pole. They ship it to you broken down into 2 pieces. The pole does not fit in a standard umbrella base. Its about 2 3/4" wide, so you'll need an umbrella base with a wider pole opening. I had to purchase one.
