Krinner TREE GENIE M, TREE GENIE XXL Deluxe - Racks & Stands Manual

PUTTING UP THE TREE

1. To release the foot pedal, press down on the foot pedal while you slide the lock into the unlock position (green).
   
2. Push the foot pedal upwards to open the claws. Continue pushing in a step-by-step action until claws are in a vertical position.
   
   The foot pedal must be lifted with suitable foot wear. To avoid injury do not place any body parts (fingers) in area of the clamps.
3. Give the trunk a straight and even cut. Set the trunk in the center of the stand over the spike. Make sure the trunk and spike have contact but do not use force. Do not drill a hole into the trunk.
   
   The trunk may not be drilled in the middle. If the cut is inclined or the trunk is drilled, re-cutting the trunk is necessary. An uneven or inclined cut causes reduced stability and enhances the risk of the tree to fall.
4. Pump the foot pedal until you hear the ´Ding´ and the lock automatically slides into place. The claws now have optimal contact to the trunk and the tree stand is now secured.
   
   STOP pumping the pedal after you hear the 'DING'. This may damage the mechanism!
5. Add tap water to keep your tree fresh. Slowly fill the water tank until the level indicator measurements are clearly visible.
   
   Ensure the tree is securely anchored in the stand.
6. Do not overfill the tank. Use the indicator measurements to guide you, and stop before the red zone is fully visible.
   
   Overfilling can damage the seal and create recurrent leaking, and may cause damage to your floor covering.

TAKING OUT THE TREE

1. To remove the Christmas tree, press down on the foot pedal while you slide the lock into the unlock position (green).
   
2. Hold the tree in an upright position. Lift the foot pedal several times. The clamps will open in a step-by-step action. Continue lifting the foot pedal until the claws are in a vertical position. Now you can take out the Christmas tree.
   
3. To drain the water, tip the stand towards the level indicator opening into a sink. Wash the stand with a soft sponge and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
   
   Do not use any chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
   Dry completely prior to storage.

TECHNICAL DATA

SAFETY

• Do not use the tree stand for any other purpose like sign plates, clothes dryers, flag poles or sunshades etc. KRIN- NER will not cover any damage done by misuse of this Christmas tree stand. This Christmas tree stand is for indoor use only.
• Before putting up your Christmas tree, ensure that your tree stand has a secure base. A thick carpet is not a secure base! Only use the tree stand on a solid, level and even surface. Uneven or inclined surfaces cause reduced stability and enhance the risk of the tree to fall.
• To prevent possible damage to your carpet or floor, the use of a heavy plastic sheet underneath the Christmas tree stand is recommended.
• To prevent floor damage due to possible leakage, please check water tank for cracks and holes yearly before tree setup. Check the water level indicator for free movement. Use a pointed tool to pull the indicator up and out. Wash with soap if there are sap residues.
• While pushing down the foot pedal with your feet, ensure that there are no hands or other body parts in between the clamps and the trunk as it can cause serious injuries. The Christmas tree stand is not a toy! Do not allow children to operate the tree stand. Make sure they are not near the stand while setting up your tree.
• This Krinner Christmas tree stand is a safety product. Do not alter the construction of the Krinner Christmas tree stand. This will void the warranty. Do not use the stand if it shows any structural damage.
• If electric lighting is used, do not allow this electric lighting to burn unattended. (!) Water is a conductor. Ensure that electric wires are in a safe distance to the water tank of the Christmas tree stand.
• Adding too much water will lead to overflowing and may cause damage to the surface underneath. Strictly follow the instructions under the chapter 'Putting up the tree (6.)'
• A fresh and green Christmas tree reduces the fire hazard. The trunk must have a fresh, clean and even cut to absorb water. Therefore always keep sufficient water in the tree stand.
• Ensure that the tree is securely fastened, well balanced and positioned in the middle of the tree stand before applying decorations and lighting.
• Keep your tree away from fireplaces and open flames.
