Guides for
hanging windchimes
Step 1: Identify the top of the chime box (with a sticker/handwritten chime name)
Step 2: Open the top of the chime box, pull the cap out of the box, find the safety hook (under the striker).
Step 3: Hold the hook and striker in one hand, the other hand lift up the top of the box and move to the position where the chime is hung (another person carries the other end of the box).
Step 4: Stand the chime box upright and hang the hook in the prepared position. You need to make sure that the position can withstand the weight of the bell, be certainty, high enough to fit the length of chime and has enough space for wind-sail to fly. Beside it must has wind.
Step 5: Pull the chime box, plastic bubble down slowly to let the chime out of the box. Note: Slowly pull for the chime tubes out of the box. Balance the tubes and place the striker in the center and you’re done.
