Press firmly on each end of the 6x12-inch dividers until you feel the Arrows snap into place. OPTIONAL: The living quarters in S&K’s House can be converted from a 6x6-inch to a 6x12-inch compartment. Simply remove the cut-out portions of walls and more space is created. Remove only one cut-out per compartment. Step 5: FIRST FL OOR ONL Y! IF USING AN S&K Tri-Tel/Quad-Tel Pole or adapter, push out the center pole guide area of the 6x18 black divider. Note the perforations for this. Step 6: Line up the next floor. The arrows on the flooring MUST point in the same direction. BE C AREFUL! If the arrows do not point in the same direction, your Purple Martin House will not be useable with an S&K Tri-Tel Pole, Quad- Tel Pole or adapter. The reason for the cut- out: When your house is completed, the S&K Pole or adapter will slide into the opening and snap into place with two snaps. Step 7: Place the second floor on top of the installed dividers. Line up carefully so that the dividers are within the wall channels. Step 8: When the dividers and channels are lined up and in place, push down firmly until the dividers’ arrows snap into place. NOTE: The arrows may appear to be bent after popping through. The strength of the dividers are not compromised. Step 9: For installing the dividers for the sec- ond floor of the house, repeat Steps 2 through 4. SPECIAL NO TE : If the House appears WARPED at this point, do not worry. It will straighten during the following steps. Step 10: Using the large black attic floor, punch out the 6 perforated rectangular slots completely. Step 11: Set the attic floor on the top of the sec- ond floor’s wall dividers. Line up the divider’s arrows with the slots in the attic floor and push each arrow through individually, by placing your fingers on each side of the slot and push- ing down firmly. Step 12: Turn the house on its side as shown. Step 13: Take one tan side - with the textured side facing up - and place it on the side of the house. Line up the perch rails’ points as shown. Step 14: Push the rails’ end tabs through each of the openings on each side of the house. Turn the house over and attach the second tan panel for the other side of the house in the same way, using Steps 12-14. Step 15: After both tan sides have been attached to the rails, take six snaps for attaching the tan side. Each snap hole has a correspon- ding hole on the outside of the floors. Be sure to line them up before inserting the snaps. (Shown in next step) NOTE: The smaller holes are for perches (optional) - it is not mandatory that the perch kit be used.
