3) Thread the end of the Fill Line with the Flexible
Tubing through the bottom of the birdbath Pedestal
and out the top (see Figure 2) until it extends about
6 inches out the Pedestal.
4) Firmly push the end of the Fill Line into the
Push-in connector on the bottom of the Basin
(Figure 3). It should push in approximately 1/2
inch. After insertion, pull back slighly on the tubing
to make sure it is firmly seated.
5) Place the basin on the Pedestal by aligning the
metal plate on the bottom of the basin with the slots
in the neck of the Pedestal. Rotate the basin
clock-wise to lock it in place (Figure 4).
6) Return to the pole (from Step 1) and route the
Fill LIne so that it extends to the top of the pole.
Cut the Fill Line at that point. (Save the excess
tubing for Step 8.) Un-screw the Nut on the Fill Line
Connector (Figure 5) and insert one end of the Fill
Line through the Washer and Collar and then screw
the Nut snuggly back onto the connector.
7) Slide the Canister onto the pole and lower it
until the the Canister is
lower
than
the rim of the
birdbath. Tighten the Thumbscrew to hold the
Canister in place (refer to Figure 1).

AUTOFILL BIRDBATH SETUP
Please read all setup instructions before beginning.
Mount the Canister
1) Determine the location for the KozyFill Canister
behind a tree or bush within approximately 20 feet of the
birdbath. (Placing it farther away may result in slower
filling.) When mounted, the Canister must be at the
same level as the birdbath so that must be taken into
account when choosing a location. Tap the pointed pole
stake firmly into the ground at the desired point and
insert the two pole sections such that the assembled
pole is vertical. Also, unwind the tubing from the
Canister and lay it in the sun to straighten.
2) Once the tubing has straightened in the sun, lay it
along the ground for the Fill Line to the birdbath. Allow
enough excess to extend up through the Pedestal to the
Basin plus an additional 6-10 inches.
