ach carton contains one top section,
one bottom section (larger trees
include one or more middle sections)
and a metal or plastic tree stand.

nfold it and insert the eye bolts.
Remove packing material from
ends of poles. Put bottom section
pole into 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
base of bottom section (Figure 2)
and tap lightly with a hammer until

green plastic opening of the lower
tree assembly. This is the “pole
cap” which keeps tree top section

section pole(s) into bottom section
pole (Figure 4) as instructed in
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT GIANT
TREES below. Then insert top

section pole ends prior to
assembly. This will make sections
easier to separate when
disassembling for storage.

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.
3b. 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 (See
Shaping Instructions on page 4).
