ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS:
*
Before choosing a location for your Windfeather™ look around carefully for any
objects close enough to come into contact with the sail or streamers. Be
especially careful not to come into contact with power lines.
*
Locate the white fiberglass ground stake and galvanized ground washer. Insert
the pointed end of stake through the rubber center of the washer sliding the
washer about half way onto the stake. Exact placement does not matter, as the
washer is self adjusting. Use a hammer to drive the ground stake into the ground
until firm. The depth required will vary depending on the type of soil, and is
usually between 6 and 12 inches. Some locations with especially compacted soils
may prove difficult to drive the stake into. If this is the case in your area,
we recommend using a long screwdriver or similar object to create a pilot hole
before driving in the ground stake. Do not replace
ground stake with anything that might cause damage to your pole. Use of rigid
metal stakes, especially rebar can easily destroy the bottom section of your
pole.
*
Remove the pole from the carry bag and pull the black rubber
plug from the top end. Tilt the pole over until the top section with the bead
slides out. Pull this section out until the next section emerges and then,
holding both sections pull
and twist against each other until
firm. Do not over tighten. Continue this until the pole is fully
extended. Now unscrew the cap from the bottom of the pole. At
this point we recommend that you store the top rubber plug and bottom metal cap
in the cloth storage bag.
*Unroll
your Windfeathers™ sail and locate the open end at the bottom of the pocket.
Run the pole into the pocket all the way making sure that the bead on top of the
pole is all the way up to the end of the pocket. At the bottom of the pocket,
pull down on the attached loop of bungee cord and slip it onto the clip on the
base of the pole. If the bungee does not match up with
the metal clip check to make sure that either the top of the pole is not hung in
the feather pocket , or that the pole sections are fully extended.
*
Unroll the streamers and using the clip, attach them to the top of the sail.
Do not use your streamers if they will be able to
rub against any object that could cause fraying, especially
power lines.
*
Finally lift your fully assembled Windfeathers™ and place it over the ground
stake until the bottom of the pole is resting on the ground washer, and the
ground washer is flush with the ground.
*
When taking your feather down simply reverse the above directions. Leave the
streamers attached to the top and roll the sail from top to bottom trapping the
streamers inside. Be sure to store the ground stake in the plastic sleeve before
putting it in the bag with your sail. This will keep dirt from soiling the sail.
CARING
FOR YOUR Windfeathers™:
Never
machine wash. To clean use a mild detergent and rinse with clear water. Hang to
dry.
Never
put your feather away wet. Some transfer of colors may occur if stored wet. If
necessary you can put the sail in a clothes dryer on AIR DRY
for just a few moments to dry.
Never
fly your feather in extreme winds.
Your
pole is designed to be lightweight and very flexible. This flexibility is what
gives your Windfeather™ it’s distinctive look
when flying.
When assembling pole, always pull each extension out by hand and gently
twist until tight. Be careful not to over tighten since they can be difficult to
break down later. Never use pliers or other tools on the pole that could
cause it to crack or split. Be especially careful not to step on the pole.
If
you are unable to get a section to collapse try leaving it overnight in a cool
location.
Our
fabrics contain a UV inhibitor to resist fading. To extend this protection or to
revive the colors of a slightly faded feather apply a thin coating of armor-all®.
