5. Troubleshooting - Fountain
h)
Installing the PondSeries Fountain into your Pond or Lake
i)
Pick up the fountain by the float and place into the water.
Note: a minimum of 36” of water is required for proper operation.
ii)
Tie one side of the mooring rope to a stake and place the stake securely into the ground.
iii)
Take the other stake and mooring rope and walk around the pond, carefully pulling the fountain across the water. Once the fountain is in position, tie
the 2nd mooring rope to the 2nd stake and place securely into the ground.
iv)
Ensure both mooring ropes are snug to prevent the fountain from twisting and shifting during operation.
v)
To anchor the fountain using blocks, spread the blocks far apart so the mooring lines are snug and the fountain can not spin from the force of the
motor, which could cause the lines to get tangled.
* If your issue persists or is not covered in the troubleshooting guide above, please contact your Certified Airmax Service Technician
to perform any troubleshooting measures you are uncomfortable or unable to perform yourself. For fountain light set troubleshooting
measures please see the manual included with your light set.
