Introduction

This instruction manual provides essential information for the safe and proper setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your Northlight 7.5-Foot Pre-Lit Winema Pine Flocked Artificial Christmas Tree. Please read this manual thoroughly before assembly and retain it for future reference.

Setup Instructions

Before beginning assembly, select a suitable location for your tree. Ensure the surface is level and near an electrical outlet for the pre-lit lights. The tree is recommended for indoor use only.

Carefully open the packaging and remove all contents. Identify the following components:

2. Assembling the Tree Stand

1. Unfold the legs of the tree stand until they are evenly spaced and stable.
2. Insert the triangular bolts into the small cut-out circles on the tree stand. Do not fully tighten them yet.

3. Assembling Tree Sections and Connecting Lights

1. Take the bottom tree section. Align its pole with the opening of the tree stand. Gently insert the pole into the stand.
2. Once the bottom section is in place, tighten the triangular bolts on the stand to secure the base of the tree.
3. Allow the hinged branches to fall into position.
4. Before proceeding, it is recommended to plug in the lights of the bottom section to ensure they are all working. Locate any extra bulbs placed around the tree and carefully remove them from the wire for future use.
5. Attach the middle tree section into the top of the bottom section. Ensure the pole is fully seated.
6. Locate the electrical plugs and outlets from the connected sections and securely connect them to power the lights.
7. Repeat the process for the top tree section, inserting it into the middle section and connecting its lights. For trees 9 feet and taller, there may be an additional section to place before the top piece.

4. Fluffing the Branches

To achieve a full and lifelike appearance, the tree branches must be properly fluffed. This process involves shaping each branch and tip.

• Starting from the inside of the tree and working outwards, gently lift each tip away from the central branch.
• Bend and spread the individual tips to fill any gaps, creating a natural, dense look. The metal construction of the branch tips allows for easy shaping.
• Slightly angle the tips of the branches upwards for a more realistic appearance.
• Continue this process for all sections of the tree until it appears full and seamless.

Operation

Once your tree is fully assembled and fluffed, plug the main power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The pre-lit clear lights will illuminate. Ensure all connections are secure for proper operation.

Safety Information:

• The light sets on this tree are UL certified and approved for indoor or outdoor use; however, the tree itself is recommended for indoor use only.
• If one bulb burns out, the rest will remain lit.
• Do not overload electrical outlets.
• Keep the tree away from heat sources and open flames.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and appearance of your artificial Christmas tree.

Cleaning:

To clean the tree, gently dust the branches with a soft cloth or use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment on a low setting. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Storage:

When storing the tree, carefully compress the branches back towards the center pole. Disassemble the tree into its sections and store them in the original box or a dedicated tree storage bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Lights Not Working:

• Check Connections: Ensure all electrical plugs between tree sections are securely connected.
• Check for Loose Bulbs: Gently twist each bulb to ensure it is seated correctly in its socket.
• Replace Burnt-Out Bulbs: Although the lights are designed to stay lit if one bulb burns out, replacing faulty bulbs can prevent further issues. Use the provided replacement bulbs.
• Check Fuses: If an entire section of lights is out, check the fuses in the plug. Replace with the provided spare fuses if necessary.
