Connect the bracket, tubes and spike together.
Then attach the solar panel to the bracket.
Slide the holding bracket into the inside lip of
the top half of the solar panel frame. The
bracket holds the weight of the solar panel.
The solar panel can be adjusted for optimal
sunlight by using the wingnut. Please see the
diagram.

Insert the spike into the ground. Position the
solar panel so it’s facing south (in northern
hemisphere) as much as possible to maximize
daylight hours. It is important to angle the solar
panel to face the sun when the sun is at its
highest point. Ensure the solar panel is not
shaded by trees, shrubs or buildings.

Twisting pump plug slightly, sliding it into
the [pump] socket. Make sure its sealing

PERFORMANCE OF THE PUMP
The solar pump is designed mainly for use during summer hours, but it will also work in spring
and fall as long as the sunlight conditions are good enough in your region. The pump’s
performance depends on the orientation of the solar panel towards the sun and the strength of
sunlight.
