Fountain Set-Up:
Assembly & Installation - A fountain can be difficult to install without knowing and understanding the steps involved. To ensure your fountain is
installed properly, please read our instructions and tips before you begin.
Step 1 - Seek Professional Help: Check if professional installation is recommended for your fountain.
Step 2 - Check Foundation: Place your fountain on a level surface. It is recommended to place your fountain on concrete or a hard packed
gravel pad. If the base is level but some components seem off, rotate components or use wedges to level them.
Step 3 - Create a Drip Loop: To prevent water from dripping down the cord and damaging the electrical socket, create a drip loop by allowing
the pump power cord to fall below the wall outlet.
Step 4 - Use a GFCI Outlet: Use only a GFCI outlet when running a fountain.
Step 7 - Place the large pedestal (FT-271F) over the pump.
Step 8 - Feed the tubing that is connected to the pump through the hole in the center of the large
pedestal (FT-271F).

Step 4 - Feed the pump cord all the way through the hole in the urn (P-712), through the base
(FT-271H), and out of the opening in the bottom of the base.
Step 5 - FIRMLY press the stopper into the hole evenly.
5a - Note: Using the handle of a screwdriver or hammer works best to press the stopper in place.
