Instructions for assembly (pyramid set up).

Unpack for Assembly
Open the box and pull out the pyramid assembly kit, which includes all frame components wrapped together as one. Begin unpacking by removing all bubble wrap. Be sure to take special care not to cut any wires that may be tucked behind the bubble wrap as the wires are part of your pyramid. In addition, please be aware that pulling off the bubble wrap too quickly from the bottom section near the wires may remove the rubber end caps from the legs. If this happens, simply push them back onto the end of each of your pyramid’s legs.
You will see that there are two sections, top and bottom. Remove the remaining bubble wrap from each section (once again, take care not to cut wires). Follow the assembly process below for putting together your pyramid. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver. This applies whether you are assembling from scratch or using conversion kits.
Unpack for Non-Assembly
Open the box and pull out the pyramid. Begin unpacking by removing all bubble wrap. Be sure to take special care not to cut any wires that may be tucked behind the bubble wrap as the wires are part of your pyramid. Additionally, please be aware that pulling off the bubble wrap too quickly from the bottom section near the wires may remove the rubber end caps from the legs. When and if this happens, simply push them back onto the end of each of your pyramid’s legs. Follow set-up instructions below, similar to what applies when comparing DIY vs prebuilt models.
The Assembly Process
With pyramid assembly kit models there will be a plastic bag containing screws taped to the outside of the initial bubble wrap. Set this bag of four screws aside. From the bottom section, remove the rubber band holding the wires together. Take the bottom section and lay it out on the floor, color codes facing up. This may take some time. You will want to flip the pipes, if necessary, so that the color codes are visible and the wires form a large untangled square.
The non-wired end of each pipe (with the color codes) should be facing inward toward the center of the square. Now take the upper section that is bound by the key ring and, one at a time, slide the wooden dowel of each matching color-coded pipe from the top section into the corresponding bottom section’s pipe. Line up the color coded circles and then insert and tighten a screw into each provided starter hole. Your pyramid is assembled. For long-term use, periodic maintenance may be helpful.
To set it up, follow the setup instructions below, and review what to expect after assembly.
Pyramid Setup
For non-assembly models and assembly models (once assembled), slowly pivot each leg of the pyramid outward until all wires at the base are taught. You may need to unloop the wires (as they tend to cross) at the pyramid’s feet. When all wires are straight and fairly taught, the pyramid will be correct. The key ring should ideally be level with the floor.
A level key ring is particularly important if you are using a capstone plate, which is one of the included parts for some models. Remember to never use excessive force, but simply nudge the tops of the pipes to achieve a taught base and a flat plane on the capstone plate before placing gemstones, crystals or small pyramids there (in order to avoid having them slide off).
