Assembly Instructions
(Figure 1)
Each carton contains one top section, one middle
section, one bottom section and a metal tree stand.
1. Unfold the tree stand and partially insert the eye bolt.
Remove packing material from ends of poles. Put
bottom section pole into tree stand making sure it is
seated properly. Tighten the eye bolt.
2. Insert the middle tree section into the bottom section.
Optional:
You may want to lubricate middle section
pole end prior to assembly. This will make the section
easier to separate when disassembling for storage.
3. Insert the top tree section into the green plastic
opening of the lower tree assembly. This is the “pole
cap” which keeps tree top section securely in place.
4. Remove wrap from sections and branches should fall
into place. If any branches remain upright, gently
lower them into proper position making sure not to
place undue pressure on the brackets. Each branch
must be shaped to a natural position by spreading
tips away from center (See
Shaping Instructions
).
5. Connect the light string cords between the sections.
Take care not to let the wires get caught in branch
hinges where they may become damaged.

Bulb Replacement
1. Unplug light string from power source.
2. Pull up on the Base Lock™ unlatching the bulb from the bulb
socket. Gently pull the bulb straight out (Figure 5).
3. Before inserting the new bulb into socket, make
sure that the two wires on either side of the the
bulb base are straight up and flush with the base
(diagram at right).
4. Carefully insert new bulb into socket and push
down Base Lock until it snaps into place (Figure 6).

Fuse Replacement
1. Unplug light string from power source.
2. Fuses are located in light string plug. Slide the fuse access
cover away from cord side (in direction of arrow, Figure 7)
exposing fuses.
3. Remove fuses from compartment and examine. Replace burnt
out fuse with new one.
4. Close fuse compartment by sliding access cover back in
towards cord side of plug (Figure 8).

Storage
Remove all holiday decorations. Gently press tips back into center
branch. Raise all branches to original upright position taking care
not to place undue pressure on the attached ends of the branches.
When disassembling tree, a twisting motion will help to separate
the sections from each other. All tree parts can be replaced in
original carton and should be stored in a cool, dry place.
Shaping Instructions
Shaping the tree branches is the last step of assembly. The care
and attention given to this final process will result in a genuinely
beautiful and appealing holiday centerpiece.
1. Every tree style is shipped from the factory with the tips of
each branch compressed to the center (Figure 2).
2. Each branch tip must be shaped to it’s proper position to give
the tree a natural look. This is done by gently grasping the left
and right wing tips and spreading them out away from the
center tip (Figure 3).
3. Each individual tip should then be spread out separately. Tips
should then be bent slightly upward to add a more natural
looking appearance. Figure 4 shows a typical tree branch
after shaping.
4. As you shape closer to the top, the branches will no longer
have wing tips, but will otherwise shape in the same manner
as lower sections.
Optional:
Shaping of the tree top may be easier performed
prior to attachment to middle tree section.
