Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble your artificial Christmas tree:
Step 1: Prepare the Location
Choose a suitable location for your tree. Ensure it is on a level surface and within reach of a power outlet. Clear the area of any obstructions.
Step 2: Unpack Contents
Carefully remove all tree sections, the tree stand, and accessories from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent damage.

Step 3: Assemble Tree Stand
Open the legs of the metal tree stand until they are evenly spaced and form a stable base. Insert the triangular bolts into the small cut-out circles on the stand, but do not tighten them fully yet.

Step 4: Insert Bottom Section
Take the largest tree section (bottom section) and align its pole with the opening of the tree stand. Gently insert the pole into the stand. Once inserted, tighten the triangular bolts to secure the base of the tree firmly.
Step 5: Test Lights (Bottom Section)
Before proceeding, it is recommended to plug in the bottom section of the tree to a power outlet to ensure all lights are working correctly. If any bulbs are out, refer to the troubleshooting section or use the provided replacement bulbs.

Step 6: Fluff Bottom Section
To achieve a full and realistic appearance, you will need to 'fluff' the branches. Starting from the inside of the tree and working outwards, gently lift and spread each branch tip away from the center branch. Bend the metal tips into a 'V' shape to fill any gaps. Ensure the branches are evenly distributed.
Step 7: Attach Middle Section
Carefully place the middle tree section onto the pole of the bottom section. Locate the electrical plugs and outlets from both sections and connect them to power the lights in the middle section.
Step 8: Fluff Middle Section
Repeat the fluffing process for the middle section, ensuring that the branches blend seamlessly with the bottom section and no gaps are visible.
Step 9: Attach Top Section
Place the top tree section onto the pole of the middle section. Connect any remaining electrical plugs for the lights. For trees 9 feet and taller, there may be an additional section to place before the very top piece.
Step 10: Fluff Top Section
Fluff the top section's branches, pulling tips away from the center and slightly angling them upwards for a more realistic look. Fill in any remaining gaps.
Step 11: Final Adjustment
Step back and observe the entire tree. Adjust any branches as needed to ensure an evenly fluffed and full appearance from all angles.

Operating Instructions
Your Northlight Ravenna Pine tree comes pre-lit with warm white LED lights. To operate the lights, simply plug the tree's main power cord into a standard electrical outlet. Ensure all internal connections between tree sections are secure for continuous illumination. Unplug the tree when not in use.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean your tree, gently dust the branches with a soft cloth or use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment on a low setting. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the tree's materials or lights.
Storage
When storing your tree, carefully compress the branches back towards the center pole. Disassemble the tree sections in reverse order of assembly. Store the tree and its components in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original box or a dedicated tree storage bag, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Lights are not working. | Check all electrical connections between tree sections and ensure the main plug is securely inserted into a working outlet. Check for any loose or burnt-out bulbs and replace them with the provided spares. Verify the fuse in the plug is intact. |
| Tree appears sparse or has gaps. | This is common after unpacking. Thoroughly fluff each branch and tip as described in the setup instructions. Bend individual tips to fill in any visible gaps. |
| Tree is unstable. | Ensure the tree stand legs are fully extended and evenly spaced. Tighten all triangular bolts on the tree stand securely. Verify the tree pole is fully seated in the stand. |
