Step 1: Open the Stand into a cross shape. Insert the three (3) eye bolts into the holes around the collar of the Tree Stand. See Figure 1A. Do not tighten all the way, or the Bottom Section A of the Tree will NOT go into the Stand. NOTE: On the back of the Tree, there is a Brown PVC Wire which can be used to further support your tree against the wall. See Figure 1B. Step 2: Locate Tree Section A and place the trunk into the Tree Stand. Slightly tighten the three bolts, but do not tighten 100% until the tree is fully assembled and lit. NOTE: Before proceeding to put on each Tree Section, you can go ahead and shape the section if preferred (see Step 6). Figure 1A Figure 1B Step 3: Locate Tree Section B and place it into the top of Tree Section A. Note that these sections are made to fit into each other tightly to prevent wobbling. See Figure 3. Step 4: Locate Tree Section C and place it into the top of Tree Section B. It will be a snug fit, so you do not experience any wobbling. See Figure 4. 7 Wall Christmas Tree w/ Stand #490259 Current instructions at www.improvementscatalog.com 1-800-642-2112 Page 2 of 5
Step 5: Time to light your Tree! There are a total of 400 lights on your tree. You should have a total of five light set plugs and one extension cord (already wrapped in the Tree). The extension cord comes with an On/Off Foot Pedal. There is one (1) light set plug coming out of Tree Section C that you will need to connect to the extension cord outlet in Tree Section B. The light sets in Tree Section B should already be plugged into the extension cord. If they are not, connect them to the extension cord. There are two (2) light sets in Tree Section A which are to be plugged into the extension cord found in Tree Section B. Bring the Extension Cord plug down through the sections, so that it comes out of the bottom of Tree Section A. Take the plug and connect it to a power source in your home or office. To turn on and off the lights simply press the foot pedal. NOTE: There are extra bulbs and fuses enclosed. If a bulb goes out, replace it in a timely manner, as it will lengthen the life of your light sets. Figure 5 Step 6: It is now time to shape your Tree. Starting at the Bottom of the Tree and working your way to the Top of the Tree, slowly pull down each branch so that it is at an approximate 90 degree angle to the floor. The leaves on each branch now need to be shaped. Each branch can be shaped to a natural position by spreading out the left and right tips from the center tip. Then, bend the tips slightly upward to add a more natural appearance (see Figure 5). After shaping the whole Tree, step back and take an overall look. Shift branches to fill any gaps. Your Tree is now ready to decorate and enjoy! Figure 6 7 Wall Christmas Tree w/ Stand #490259 Current instructions at www.improvementscatalog.com 1-800-642-2112 Page 3 of 5
STORAGE 1. Unplug the Tree from the power source in your home or office. 2. Remove any ornaments and decorations that were added by you and did not come with the Tree. 3. Place the Tree and all of its components back into the storage box. The box will help prevent the Tree from being damaged should it get bumped in your garage, basement, or other storage location. Tape the box shut to keep out any dust or insects. 4. When packing up the Tree, please ensure that there is no undue strain or stress on the light sets so as to ensure they do not get cut, frayed, or damaged. 5. Be sure to store the Tree in a cool, dry area away from sunlight to ensure your Tree will be ready for next season. Exposing your Tree to excessive heat or humidity may damage your Tree. DO NOT STORE TREE IN A DAMP AREA OR IN AN AREA WHERE THE TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS 100ºF. Damage to the Tree caused by improper storage conditions is not covered by the warranty. TROUBLESHOOTING FOR MINIATURE LIGHTS If your lights are not working, following are some troubleshooting steps to try: 1. Check that the light set plugs are properly connected to your home or office wall outlet or other power source. 2. Check that there is power to the wall outlet or power source. 3. Check that all the plugs within the tree are securely connected and positioned correctly. 4. Check for loose bulb or poor contact into bulb socket. Follow along the non-working light set and ensure each bulb is seated firmly inside each socket with its tab securely locked. DO NOT TWIST BULBS. 5. Look for any broken, burned out, or missing bulbs and replace as needed. 6. Replace non-working, missing, or broken bulbs as soon as discovered to avoid reducing the longevity of the light set. 7. Replace only with bulbs that came with the product or recommended by the manufacturer. Spare bulbs were included with your purchase. To Remove a Bulb: Undo bulb locking tab located on one side of the socket (See Fig. 1A). Gently grasp the plastic base of the bulb. Do not pull on the glass bulb section. Pull up and out from socket. To Replace a Bulb: Align base of bulb and locking tab to socket. Push in until firmly seated. Lock tab securely. DO NOT TWIST BULB. Locking Tab Fig. 1A 8. If none of the lights are working, check the fuse in the light set plug. If the fuse is blown (usually has darkened glass), replace the blown fuse by following the steps in the following diagram. There are spare fuses included for easy replacement. To Remove a Fuse: Gently slide the plug cover open. Lift blown fuse out of the socket. To Replace a Fuse: Please the new fuse into empty socket.
