Northlight Pre-Lit Medium Ashland Sitka Spruce Artificial Christmas Tree - 7.5' - Multicolor LED Lights

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Northlight Pre-Lit Medium Ashland Sitka Spruce Artificial Christmas Tree. This tree is designed to bring festive cheer to your home with its realistic appearance and vibrant multicolor LED lights. This manual will guide you through the assembly, operation, and care of your new Christmas tree to ensure a beautiful display for years to come.

The tree features a blend of perfectly molded PE tips and traditional PVC tips for a full look, pre-lit with 1750 multi-color copper wire LED lights. The multi-color lights include red, green, blue, and amber. It boasts 2359 tips, with 0.75" - 2" wide tapered tips, and comes with a 6' green lead cord. LED lights are energy-efficient, using 90% less energy, and remain cool to the touch. The tree has a medium profile and hinged branch construction for easy setup. Light sets are UL certified for indoor or outdoor use, though the tree itself is recommended for indoor use only. A key feature is that if one bulb burns out, the rest will stay lit. Assembly is a simple 4-piece process, including the stand.

Product Specifications

Setup & Assembly

Before beginning assembly, choose a level surface near an electrical outlet for your tree. Ensure adequate space for the tree's full diameter.

1. Unboxing & Preparation

Carefully open the box and remove all contents: the tree stand, bottom section, middle section, and top section of the tree. Lay them out to identify each part.

2. Assembling the Tree Stand

1. Take the metal tree stand and open its legs until they are evenly spaced and form a stable base.
2. Screw the triangular bolts into the small cut-out circles on the tree stand. Do not fully tighten them yet; leave them loose until the tree sections are inserted.

3. Assembling Tree Sections

1. Bottom Section: Align the pole of the bottom tree section with the opening of the tree stand. Insert it firmly. Once inserted, tighten the triangular bolts on the stand to secure the base of the tree. Allow the hinged branches to fall into position.
2. Middle Section: Insert the middle tree section into the top of the bottom section. Ensure it is seated properly. Locate the light plugs and outlets from both sections and connect them.
3. Top Section: Insert the top tree section into the top of the middle section. For trees 9 feet and taller, there may be an additional section to place before the very top piece. Connect the light plugs and outlets.

4. Branch Shaping (Fluffing)

To achieve the fullest and most lifelike appearance, it is crucial to properly shape or "fluff" the tree branches. This process involves separating and spreading out each individual tip.

• Start from the inside of the tree and work your way outwards.
• Lift each tip away from the center branch, spreading them out to fill any gaps.
• The branches and tips have metal cores, making them easy to bend and shape.
• Slightly angle the tips of the branches upwards for a more realistic look.
• Continue this process for all sections, ensuring the sections blend together seamlessly.

Operating Instructions

Lighting Your Tree

Your Northlight Christmas tree comes pre-lit with multicolor LED lights. During assembly, ensure all sections are properly connected via their integrated light plugs. It is recommended to plug in your tree before fully assembling it to ensure all lights are working. If any extra bulbs are found attached to the wire, carefully cut them off.

Once assembled and fluffed, plug the tree's main power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The multicolor LED lights will illuminate, providing a festive glow. A convenient feature of these lights is that if one bulb burns out, the rest will remain lit, ensuring continuous illumination.

Maintenance

Seasonal Storage

After the holiday season, carefully disassemble your tree by reversing the assembly steps. Gently compress the branches. Store the tree sections and stand in their original packaging or a dedicated tree storage bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help preserve the tree's shape and light functionality for future use.

Troubleshooting

Lights Not Working

• Check Connections: Ensure all tree sections are securely connected to each other and the main power outlet.
• Power Source: Verify that the power outlet is functioning correctly by plugging in another appliance.
• Individual Bulbs: The tree is designed so that if one bulb burns out, the others remain lit. However, if a section of lights is out, check for any loose or broken bulbs within that section. Replace any damaged bulbs with spares if provided, or contact customer support.
• Fuses: Check the fuses in the light plugs. Replace if necessary (refer to the light string's specific instructions for fuse replacement).
