Assembly Instructions Before choosing a location for your Windfeathers� 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. Remove the fiberglass ground stakeand galvanized ground washer from the plastic sleeve and insert the pointed end of the stake through the rubber center of the washer. Use a hammer to drive into the ground until firm. The depth required will vary depending on the type of soil. 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 wooden 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 Ringmaster� pole from the plastic sleeve and pull the 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 apart until firm. Do not over tighten. Continue this until the pole is fully extended. Now unscrew the cap from the bottom of the pole. Now is a really good time to store the top rubber plug and bottom bottom screw cap as well as your plastic sleeve 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. 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. 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 you Banner. 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 Windfeathers� 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. 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�. If your feather comes into contact with something that causes a puncture or tear, stop flying it immediately. Small punctures can be treated with a small amount of waterproof clear-drying glue available in most fabric stores. Larger tears can usually be repaired. Contact your sales representative for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions Q: Can I use my company logo on a Windfeather? A: Yes. Custom designs are no problem for our design team. Even if you logo does not match the format of our Windfeathers we are often able to use elements of your logo to achieve name recognition in a dynamic and exciting way. Just send us your logo and let us work up some ideas for you to review. Q: How long does it take to install a Windfeather? A: This is a very frequent question for us.

Q: How long will my Windfeather last? A: Probably the most frequently asked question. While it is impossible to determine how long "your" Windfeather will last, we have found that overall you can expect six months to one year, if flown constantly. However, many things can be done to extend the life of your Windfeather a great deal further. Please refer to our CARE page for suggestions on extending the life of your Windfeather.
