How does the tilt mechanism work?

If you continue to turn the crank after it the umbrella is fully open, the automatic tilt mechanism engages and you will see it tilting. The more you crank, the more it tilts. Yeah, it is amazing that Strathwood furniture did not think to include those simple instructions. I was reluctant to continue cranking for fear that i would break it.

It does tilt! It's some kind of snap mechanism. We have not had the product long enough to tell if this will wear out. I am sure it would eventually but we had a four year old playing with it - tilting it back and forth constantly - for two to three days after we bought it and it still holds tight. Have had the light around 1-2 months and it still holds strong

There is a spring loaded pin to pull up at the base of the rack. This allows the rack to tilt down. The pin stays in place so the rack just clicks back in when raised.

to tilt the angle the knobs must be unscrewed enough to get proper angle for you . the height not what is needed is to push in the metal button on shaft there are many small holes to choose from for desired heights. It simply slides up and down and button pop out again but you must keep it aligned just so though. I hope that helps you out

We have 2 of these stands and they definitely don't wander in their tilting. In fact there seems to be a tightening mechanism that keeps the tilt in place wherever you set it. We sometimes even lay it flat to hold a computer and then tighten it into place so computer doesn't fall. I can't day that after months or years of changing the tilt that the mechanisms won't get stripped but we have purchased two stands, one of them at least 2 years ago and don't have this issue. I hope this helps!

You have to manually tilt it into the position you want. It is a very easy (push button) step). Hope this helps!

I think the manual wins on a very dubious technicality: it tilts about 2 degrees forward or backward, the snaps back to where it was. If there's any way to lock in this tiny angle of tilt, I haven't found it. The height adjustment (doesn't) work in precisely the same way.

Mine can definitely tilt. It sounds like yours is either defective or the hinge is just really tight! (some pictures for proof: http://imgur.com/a/MAN8L )

Yes, the tilt is adjustable. It will go up and down or at whatever angle you need.

It tilts all around on a ball joint. But it's weak so you have to move it carefully or it will break. It works great though as long as you're careful.

It tilts down, but I never tried tilting it up. Normally they are mounted upwards so you can tilt down and watch from the couch.

Does not tilt. I had trouble with the electronic from day one. Caution. The manual on my was not same as my bike and I never did get it repaired.

The tilt mechanism is integrated to the vertical arms that attach the TV to the front plate of the mount. To tilt the TV down or up, just loosen the knobs that secure the vertical arms on their tilting curvature mechanism and adjust the TV angle to the desired position. Once the TV is at the right angle, tighten the knobs. This adjustment can be made with or without the TV installed on the mount.

You can tilt it as far as you want then lock it in that position. It tilts easYou.

Just tilt. I bought an extension handle which helps, but I need to tighten it often.

To tilt it you have to be fully extended, but after the tilt you can move it to the position you want.

I'm surprised no one has actually figured this out yet and written this tip to help others figure out the tilt. You know how you pull on the handle to make the chair go up and down (the pneumatic lift)? Well, you just have to pull that bar out for tilt, and push it in for lock position. The knob is only for tension. Pull out the bar!
