Hook-On Trees

THIS TREE IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY
Retain the carton for storage purposes.
Each carton contains one top section, one centre pole with colour-coded branch brackets (larger trees include additional poles), one tree stand and colour- coded branches.

1. Unfold the tree stand and insert eye bolts. Remove the packing material from the ends of the poles. Insert centre pole(s) securely into the stand.
2. BRANCH SHAPING. (Branches should be attached to tree poles from the bottom up.) Locate the color-coded branches that match the colour code of the bottom bracket on the centre pole ( Figure 1 ). Each branch must be shaped to a natural position by spreading out the left and right tips away from the centre tip (Figure 2). See Shaping Instructions.
3. After all bottom bracket branches are properly shaped they can be attached to the center pole brackets. Gently push each branch down into the bracket slots until they lock into place (Figure 3).
4. Continue to work your way up the pole shaping and attaching branches as described above.
5. When all tree branches have been attached, the tree top section can be shaped and attached. Shape the tree top as you did the lower branches.
6. Push the bottom of the tree top into the green plastic “pole cap” at the top of centre pole until it is firmly seated (Figure 4). The assembly is now complete.
7. You may wish to further shape your finished tree as desired.

STORAGE
Remove all holiday decorations. Lift tree top from pole. Remove each branch from the center pole brackets by lifting it up and out. Gently press tips back into the centre branch. All tree parts can be replaced in carton and should be stored in a cool, dry place.

Hinged and Wrapped Trees

THIS TREE IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY
Retain carton for storage purposes. Each carton contains one top section, one bottom section (larger trees include one or more middle sections) and a metal or plastic tree stand.

1. If your tree has a metal stand, unfold it and insert the eye bolts. Remove the packing material from the ends of the poles. Put the bottom section pole into the tree stand making sure it is seated properly ( Figure 1 ). Tighten eye bolts. If your tree has a plastic stand, slide legs upward into slots at the base of the bottom section (Figure 2) and tap lightly with a hammer until secure. WARNING : Using excessive force to assemble the base may cause breakage.
2. Insert the top tree section into the green plastic opening of the lower tree assembly. This is the “pole cap” which keeps top section securely in place (Figure 3). For larger trees with a middle section, carefully insert middle section pole(s) into bottom section pole (Figure 4) as instructed in SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT GIANT TREES below. Then insert the top section into the pole cap. Optional: You may want to lubricate the middle section pole ends prior to assembly. This will make sections easier to separate when disassembling the storage.
3. HINGED TREES: Working your way up from the bottom, gently lower all branches from their upright setting (Figure 5). Each branch must be shaped to a natural position by spreading out the left and right tips away from the center tip (See Shaping Instructions on page 7). Continue to lower branches on upper section(s) in the same manner making sure not to place undue pressure on the brackets.
4. WRAPPED TREES: Working your way up from the bottom, gently lower all branches from their upright setting by grasping the branch and pulling it downward (Figure 6). Each branch must be shaped to a natural position by spreading out the left and right tips away from the center tip Continue to lower branches on upper section(s) in the same manner.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT GIANT TREES
Some of the larger trees in our product line will include more than one middle section. If your tree contains more than one middle section, note that each section will be numbered in ascending order. The tree bottom section (which inserts into tree stand) will be number 1. The next section as you build up, will be number 2. Section 3 will follow until assembly is completed by inserting tree top section.
STORAGE

Remove all holiday decorations. Gently press tips back into the centre branch. Raise all branches to the original upright position taking care not to place undue pressure on the attached ends of the branches. When disassembling tree, a twisting motion will help to separate the sections from each other. All three parts can be replaced in cartons and should be stored in a cool, dry place

Pre-Lit Hinged and Wrapped Trees

THIS TREE IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY
Retain carton for storage purposes.
Each carton contains one top section, one bottom section (larger trees include one or more middle sections) and a tree stand.

1. Unfold the tree stand and insert the eye bolts. Remove the packing material from the ends of poles. Put the bottom section pole into the tree stand making sure it is seated properly (Figure 1 ). Tighten eye bolts until the bottom section is held securely.

2. Insert the middle section of the tree into the bottom section. (If your tree has more than one middle section, please refer to SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT GIANT TREES on the opposite page.) Make sure that the extension cord on the centre pole of the middle section is hanging straight down towards the floor with no loose slack that could interfere with branch hinges.

3. The light string extension cords connected to the bottom and middle section poles have coloured-coded tags attached at the plug end. Depending on the number of sections to your tree, the light strings plugin is as follows: the cords with PURPLE tags plug into the receptacle on the tree section below. The cords with a BLACK tag are plugged into an electrical outlet (Figure 2).
   NOTE: Some tree styles will have a single extension cord that will run from the bottom part of a tree and out to the electrical outlet. All light strings will plug into this single-cord

4. Insert the top section of the tree into the uppermost part of the middle section. Refer to the coloured tag for instructions on where to plug the top section light string extension cord.

5. Plug the BLACK-tagged extension cord(s) into a standard electrical outlet or other power source.
   NOTE: Trees with 1350 lights or more will include an additional BLACK-tagged light set extension cord. This extension cord must be plugged into an electrical outlet separately. We recommend using a multiple socket power strip (not included) to accept added light set extension cords.

6. For best results, shape your tree while lit. For WRAPPED TREES, see 3b on the opposite page. HINGED TREES: Working your way up from the bottom, gently lower all branches from their upright setting ( Figure 3). See Important Note below. Each branch must be shaped to a natural position by spreading out the left and right tips away from the centre tip. Continue to lower branches on upper section(s) in the same manner making sure not to place undue pressure on the hinge brackets

Shaping Instructions

1. Every tree style is shipped from the factory with the tips of each branch compressed to the centre (Figure 1).
2. Each branch tip must be shaped to its proper position to give the tree a natural look. This is done by gently grasping the left and right-wing tips and spreading them out away from the centre tip (Figure 2).
3. Each individual lip should then be spread out separately. lips should then be bent slightly upward to add a more natural-looking appearance. Figure 3 shows a typical tree branch after shaping.

The branch tips of Hook-On trees should be shaped prior to attachment to the centre pole. The tips of Hinged and Wrapped trees should be shaped after they have been lowered. Branch tips should be carefully pressed back toward centre tip when the tree is disassembled for storage in the original carton .
