Assembling
Instructions:
A. Place the fountain base on a smooth and level surface.
B. Remove the pump from its packaging and adjust the flow control to the lowest
setting to avoid
splashing until the fountain is completely assembled.
C. Then connect the
vinyl tubing from the opening in the back of the
fountain and connect to the pump. After, place the pump into the bottom of the
reservoir through the opening in the back of the foun
tain (see figure 1 above).
D. Remove the LED light cord from the opening
in the back of the
fountain. Then connect the LED light cord to the transformer by inserting the
male two-prong socket into the female plug of the
transformer (see figure 3
above).
E. Gently pour
water into the fountain, being careful not to overflow and
cause splashing. Make sure the water completely submerges the pump so the
water runs clear during
operation (see figure 4 above).
F. Replace the back cover over the opening behind of fountain (see figure 2
above).
G. Plug the cords for the LED lights and pump into your local power supply. Make
sure that there is no water around the plugs and always keep the power source
in a dry place (see figure 5 above).

NOTE: We recommend that you use distilled water to prevent scale
build-up. The first time you operate the pump it can take up to 5
minutes for the air to be completely expelled and water begins to flow
properly.
Trouble Shooting & Caution
If you have any questions and/or problems, please contact the retail store you
purchased this fountain.
•
If your pump fails to run
•
Check the circuit breaker or try a different outlet to make sure the pump is
receiving electrical power.

Check the pump discharge and tubing for any kinks and/or obstructions
•
Any buildup obstructing the water flow can be flushed with a garden hose
•
Check the rotor by removing the front cover & plate to access the impellor area.
Turn the rotor and make sure that the rotor is not jammed or broken

Check the water level to make sure the pump is completely submerged and
there if enough water in the basin to operate your fountain. Not having enough
water will cause your pump to spew
