The device described in this manual is a Silver Metallic Tree Stake with Multi-Colored LED Lights, manufactured by Alpine Corporation. It is designed as a decorative outdoor lighting product, likely intended for garden or yard embellishment, particularly during festive seasons like Christmas, as suggested by the "Christmas tree garden stake" reference.
Function Description:
The primary function of this device is to provide decorative illumination. It features a tree-like structure with multiple branches, each adorned with multi-colored LED lights. The device is designed to be staked into the ground, allowing it to stand upright and display its lights. Once assembled and plugged into an outlet, it creates a "wonderful display of lights," enhancing the aesthetic appeal of an outdoor space. The "tree topper" and individual branches are designed to be spread open, suggesting a customizable or naturalistic appearance.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Item Number: CRD128MC
- Dimensions: 24"L x 24"W x 39"H. This indicates a relatively compact size, suitable for various garden settings.
- Power Source: Requires plugging into an outlet, implying it is an electrical device.
- Light Type: Multi-Colored LED Lights. LEDs are known for their energy efficiency and long lifespan.
- Construction Material: Silver Metallic, suggesting a durable and weather-resistant finish for outdoor use.
Usage Features:
- Easy Assembly: The manual outlines a straightforward assembly process. Users need to untie a wire wrapped around the tree topper, spread open individual branches, and then insert the bottom of the tree into a ground stake. The stake is secured by tightening a knob clockwise.
- Ground Stake Installation: The device is designed for easy installation into the ground, making it suitable for gardens, lawns, or other soft outdoor surfaces.
- Outdoor Use: Implied by its design as a "garden stake" and the mention of "extreme temperatures" in the warranty, though the product is not designed to withstand them.
- Decorative Purpose: Primarily serves as an aesthetic enhancement for outdoor environments.
Maintenance Features:
The manual provides important information regarding maintenance, primarily through its "LIMITED WARRANTY INFORMATION" section, which outlines conditions for maintaining the product's longevity and warranty validity.
- Cleaning: The warranty explicitly states that "Failure to keep the unit clean, and use of such additives/cleaners, will also void the warranty." This highlights the importance of regular cleaning to prevent damage to the painted or other finishes.
- Water Quality: For products that involve water (though this specific product does not appear to directly use water, the general Alpine warranty covers it), the use of "hard water" and/or "caustic cleaners" can affect finishes. This suggests that if any cleaning involves water, soft water or appropriate cleaners should be used.
- Storage: "Improper storage that allows water to freeze within a product may cause damage, is considered negligence, and will not be covered under this warranty." While this product is an outdoor stake, proper storage during off-seasons or extreme cold is crucial to prevent internal damage from freezing water, especially if any components are susceptible to water ingress.
- Paint and Color Retention: The manual notes that "The use of water will cause natural erosion to the color" and "all finishes with time will gradually fade and discolor." It also mentions that "This area can be touched up using standard paint." This indicates that color fading is a natural process, but users can perform touch-ups to maintain its appearance. The warranty covers severe or complete fading only within the first year.
- Warranty Coverage: The product comes with a one-year limited warranty from the date of purchase. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, but it is voided by accident, misuse, negligence, improper installation, modifications, freezing water damage, hard water damage, or failure to keep the unit clean. The warranty specifically excludes damages caused in transit, inadequate care/neglect, environmental/natural elements, immersion in water (unless specified), and improper installation/storage/maintenance.
