4. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble your pre-lit Christmas tree:
- Assemble the Tree Stand: Unfold the metal tree stand and insert the eye bolts into the holes on the stand. Tighten them slightly to prepare for the tree base.
- Insert the Bottom Section: Carefully insert the bottom tree section (usually labeled 'C' or the largest section) into the assembled tree stand. Tighten the eye bolts firmly to secure the tree section in place.
- Connect Middle and Top Sections: Insert the middle tree section (labeled 'B') into the top of the bottom section. Ensure the electrical connectors between sections are securely plugged together. Then, insert the top tree section (labeled 'A') into the middle section, connecting its electrical wires.
- Shape the Branches: Starting from the bottom, gently pull apart and spread the branches, working your way up the tree. Fluff each branch tip to give the tree a full and natural appearance. Ensure the pre-strung lights are not tangled and are evenly distributed.
- Connect to Power: Plug the tree's power cord into the foot pedal switch, then plug the foot pedal switch into a standard electrical outlet.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the tree, gently wipe the branches with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

- Storage: Before storing, ensure the tree is completely unplugged and dry. Gently compress the branches and disassemble the tree sections in reverse order of assembly. Store the tree and its components in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a dedicated tree storage bag, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
