Assembly Instructions
Each carton contains one top section, one bottom section (larger trees include one or more middle sections) and a metal or plastic tree stand.
1. If your tree has a metal stand, unfold it and insert the eye bolt. Remove packing material from ends of poles. Put bottom section pole into tree stand making sure it is seated properly (Figure 1). Tighten eye bolt. If your tree has a plastic stand, slide legs upward into slots at base of bottom section (Figure 2) and tap lightly with a hammer until secure. WARNING: Using excessive force to assemble base may cause breakage.
2. 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 (Figure 3). Power
connect trees will not have a pole cap. Center pole of top section simply inserts into center pole of section below. For larger
trees with middle section, carefully insert middle section pole(s) into bottom section pole (Figure 4) as instructed in SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT GIANT TREES below. Then insert top section into pole cap. Optional: You may want to lubricate middle section pole ends prior to assembly. This will make sections easier to separate when disassembling for storage.
3a. HINGED TREES: Branches should fall into
place during assembly. If any branches remain upright, gently lower them into
proper position (Figure 5). Each branch must be shaped to a natural position by spreading out the left and right tips away from the center tip (See Shaping Instructions on page 4). Continue to lower branches on upper section(s) in the same manner making sure not to place undue pressure on the brackets.
3b. WRAPPED TREES: Working your way up
from the bottom, gently lower all branches from their upright setting by grasping the branch and pulling it downward (Figure 6). Each branch must be shaped to a natural position by spreading out the left and right tips away from the center tip (See Shaping Instructions on page 4). Continue to lower branches on upper section(s) in the same manner.
3c. TREES do not require
branch shaping. Branches should fall into place during assembly. If any branches remain upright, gently lower them into proper position (Figure 5).
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT GIANT TREES
Some of the larger trees in our product line will include more than one middle section. If your tree contains more than one middle section, note that each section will be numbered in ascending order. The tree bottom section (which inserts into tree stand) will be number 1. The next section as you build up, will be number 2. Section 3 will follow until assembly is completed by inserting tree top section.

Pre-Lit Hinged and Wrapped Trees
Style 1: Each tree section has a light string cord that
will plug into a receptacle on the section below. The extension cord at the bottom of the tree plugs into a standard electrical outlet or other power source (Figure 7).
NOTE: Trees with 1350 lights or more will include an additional extension cord. This extension cord must be plugged into an electrical outlet separately. We recommend using a multiple socket power strip (not included) to accept added light set extension cords.

Style 2: Some tree styles will have a single
extension cord that will run from the center part of tree and out to the electrical outlet. All light strings
branch and bracket.
will plug into this single cord (Figure 8).
Style 3: The light string cords from all sections should be pulled down through the center of the tree. The cords can then be plugged into each other and then into an extension cord to power supply (Figure 9).
Trees with Power connect
(Figure 10) Power connect trees do not require the connection of light strings between sections. Electrical connections for lights are made as each section is assembled.
Following assembly and shaping, connect the electrical cord at base of tree into a standard electrical outlet or other power source.
During tree assembly or disassembly, DO NOT DISCONNECT any of the factory connected light strings that are located on the center pole or within the tree.

Low Voltage LED Trees
Each carton contains one top section, one bottom section (larger trees include one or more middle sections) and a tree stand.
1. Unfold the tree stand and insert the eye bolt. Remove packing material from ends of poles. Put bottom section pole into tree stand making sure it is seated properly (Figure 1). Tighten eye bolt until bottom section is held securely.
2. 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 (Figure 2). Power
connect trees will not have a pole cap. Center pole of top section simply inserts into center pole of section below. For larger
trees with middle section, carefully insert middle section pole(s) into bottom section pole (Figure 3) as instructed in SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT GIANT TREES below. Then insert top section into pole cap. Optional: You may want to lubricate middle section pole ends prior to assembly. This will make sections easier to separate when disassembling for storage.
3. (Figure 4) Each tree section has a light string cord that will plug into a receptacle on the section below. Note that the male and female connectors are keyed and will only connect
in one direction. After connection, twist closed each
connector nut securely. GIANT TREES that include additional sections will also have additional light string cord connections.
4. SHAPING: Branches should fall into place during assembly. If any branches remain upright, gently lower them into proper position (Figure 5). See IMPORTANT NOTE below. Each branch must be shaped to a natural position by spreading out the tips. Please follow Shaping Instructions on next page for proper shaping technique.

Trees
Trees that feature memory shape tip technology do not require branch shaping. Tree branches are pre-shaped during manufacture and spring into shape upon assembly.
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 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 1).
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 2).
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 3 shows a typical tree branch after shaping.
4. As you shape closer to the top, the branches
will not have wing tips, but will otherwise shape in the same manner as lower sections.
Bulb Replacement Instructions
1. Unplug light string from power source.
2. Pull up on the Bulb Lock unlatching the bulb
from the bulb socket. Gently pull the bulb straight out (Figure 4).
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 5).
Fuse Replacement Instructions
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 6) 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 7).
