Package Contents
Verify that all components are present before beginning assembly:
- Tree Sections (4 pieces)
- Green Metal Tree Stand
- Pre-installed Clear Incandescent Mini Lights (400 lights)
- Spare Bulbs and Fuses (typically included in a small bag)
Setup Instructions
- Assemble the Tree Stand: Unfold the legs of the green metal tree stand and ensure they are fully extended and stable. Tighten the eye bolt on the stand to secure the tree trunk.
- Insert Bottom Tree Section: Carefully insert the largest tree section (Section D, typically marked) into the assembled tree stand. Ensure it is seated firmly and tighten the eye bolt on the stand to secure it.
- Connect Middle Tree Sections: Insert the next largest section (Section C) into the top of Section D. Ensure the electrical connectors between sections are securely plugged together. Repeat for Section B and Section A (top section).
- Fluff the Branches: Starting from the bottom section, gently pull apart and shape the hinged branches. Work your way from the trunk outwards and from the bottom to the top of each branch, spreading the tips to fill any gaps and create a full, natural appearance. This process may take some time.
- Connect to Power: Once all sections are assembled and branches are fluffed, plug the tree's power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions
Your Northlight Pre-Lit Christmas Tree is designed for simple operation.
- Turning On/Off: Plug the tree into an electrical outlet to turn the lights on. Unplug the tree from the outlet to turn the lights off.
- Light Function: The tree features clear incandescent mini lights that provide a steady glow. There are no special light functions or modes.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the tree, gently wipe the branches with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the tree is unplugged before cleaning.
- Light Bulb Replacement: If a light bulb burns out, replace it with a new 12 Volt, 0.96 Watt incandescent mini bulb. Unplug the tree, carefully remove the old bulb, and insert the new one. If a section of lights goes out, check for loose bulbs or blown fuses in the plug.
- Storage: Before storing, ensure the tree is completely unplugged and dry. Disassemble the tree in reverse order of assembly. Gently compress the branches and store the tree sections and stand in their original box or a suitable storage bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | Tree is not plugged in. Loose connection between sections. Blown fuse in the plug. Burned out bulb(s). | Ensure the tree is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check all electrical connections between tree sections. Inspect and replace the fuse in the plug if necessary. Check for and replace any burned out bulbs. |
| A section of lights is out. | Loose connection within the section. Multiple burned out bulbs in a series. Blown fuse for that section (if applicable). | Check all bulb connections.
