3. Setup Instructions

1. Prepare the Tree Trunk: Ensure the bottom of your tree trunk is cut flat and straight. No need to drill a hole for a spike.

3. Insert the Tree: Carefully place the tree trunk into the center of the stand, guiding it over the central spike.
4. Secure the Tree: Step on the foot pedal repeatedly until the claws firmly grip the tree trunk. The single cable system will ensure even pressure.
5. Check Stability: Gently shake the tree to ensure it is stable and upright. Adjust as needed by releasing the pedal slightly and re-securing.
6. Engage Security Lock: Once the tree is secure, engage the red security lock on the foot pedal to prevent accidental release.

4. Operating Instructions

The Krinner Christmas Tree Genie is designed for straightforward operation once the tree is set up.

• Watering: Fill the water reservoir with fresh water. The integrated water level indicator will rise as the reservoir fills, showing the maximum water height.
• Monitoring Water Level: Regularly check the water level indicator. When the indicator begins to recede, it signifies that the tree has absorbed water and the reservoir needs refilling.
• Tree Removal: To remove the tree, disengage the security lock on the foot pedal. Then, firmly press the foot pedal down to release the clamping claws. Ensure you have a firm grip on the tree before releasing the pedal to prevent it from falling.

5. Maintenance

• Regular Watering: Keep the water reservoir full to ensure your tree remains hydrated and fresh throughout its display period. A well-watered tree is less likely to shed needles.
• Cleaning: After the season, empty any remaining water from the reservoir. Clean the stand with mild soap and water to remove sap or debris. Rinse thoroughly.
• Storage: Store the tree stand in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.

6. Troubleshooting

• Tree Not Stable:
  • Ensure the tree trunk is cut flat and straight at the base.
  • Verify that the foot pedal has been pressed firmly and the security lock is engaged.
  • Check if the tree trunk diameter is within the recommended range (up to 6 inches).
• Water Level Indicator Not Moving:
  • Ensure the stand is on a level surface.
  • Check for any obstructions preventing the indicator from moving freely.
• Difficulty Releasing Tree:
  • Ensure the security lock is fully disengaged.
  • Apply firm, consistent pressure to the foot pedal.
