Setup Instructions
The Towering Reaper is designed for straightforward assembly. Follow these guidelines for proper setup:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts are present according to the included parts list (not provided in this manual, refer to product packaging).
- Assembly: Assemble the frame and attach the head, hands, and robes. Ensure all connections are secure. While designed for ease of assembly, careful handling is recommended.
- Power Connection: Connect the universal adapter to the prop and then to a suitable power outlet. The adapter includes four interchangeable plugs for use in USA, UK, Germany, and Australia. Select the correct plug for your region.
- Placement:
- The prop stands 10 feet tall. Ensure adequate vertical clearance.
- For outdoor use, it is highly recommended to secure the base with additional anchoring mechanisms (e.g., stakes) to prevent the prop from falling over, especially in windy conditions. The prop's large flat base is more stable indoors.
- Position the prop away from high-traffic areas to prevent accidental contact.
