Clock/Weather Station Assembly
Instructions
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ
All Sunshine garden clocks and weather stations are prepared with a powder coated/
painted  nish. The  nish will weather over time, depending upon the environmental
conditions where the product is installed. Your proper care of the clock/weather station
(see below) will enhance both its life and appearance. Post treatments, such as clear
lacquer, are not recommended.
PROPER CARE
In order to maximize the appearance of a Sunshine garden clock/weather station, it is
important that dust and debris is removed from its surface periodically. It is recom-
mended that the clock/weather station be wiped down weekly using a soft, dry cloth.
DO NOT use any abrasives such as car wax or other polishes, glass cleaners or chemi-
cals, as this will scratch/remove/damage the protective coating. All Sunshine clocks/
weather stations receive a durable powder coat  nish, which enhances their durabil-
ity. The  nish should also be wiped down weekly with a soft, dry cloth to
remove dust and debris that will accumulate on the surface.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE CARE INSTRUCTIONS WILL INVALIDATE
YOUR PRODUCT GUARANTEE.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
For information regarding replacement parts, please contact your retailer.
