5. ASSEMBLING AND
USING YOUR PRODUCT
Unpack all components carefully.
Decide on a suitable location.
Please note:
There will be water splashes when the product is in use. Make
sure that the surface on which you are placing the Solar Birdbath
Fountain will not be affected.
Screw the top part of the fountain onto the bottom part.
Place the solar pump unit over the central hole in main bowl of
the fountain and fill up with water.
Please note:
We recommend you use clean filtered water or rain water to
prevent scale building up.
The Solar Birdbath is now ready to operate.
Please note:
On first use, there may be air in the pump. It can take up to 5
minutes until the air escapes.

4. COMPONENTS
3. OVERVIEW
The Solar Birdbath Fountain has been designed for outdoor use.
The pump derives its power directly from the integral solar module.
In order for the pump to operate, the solar module needs to be
placed in direct sunlight. The performance of the pump depends
on the season and the position of the solar module.
Important:
If you are away from home for more than a few
days, remove the solar pump unit and insert the spare resin
plate. The pump must never be operated dry (out of water). Dry
operation permanently damages the pump. Please ensure you
top-up the water level in the Solar Birdbath Fountain regularly,
particularly in hot water.
6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
If after time the pump starts to lose power or stops working you
should check for the build up of sediment or scale in the bottom
of the pump housing. Carefully remove the solar pump unit and
turn it upside down on a soft surface. Dry the solar pump
connector and disconnect.
Remove the pump from the plastic unit and open the pump
housing at its base. Remove the impeller and remove any dirt or
scale which has built up and close.
Put the unit together in reverse order.
Please note:
Make sure the underwater connector is absolutely dry before you
reconnect it. To ensure the seal remains water-tight you must
twist the solar pump connector plugs together rather than merely
pressing together.
The Solar module should only be cleaned with soft cloth and any
mild glass cleaning solution.
