SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not place your fountain in a location where water spills or splashing will reach any electrical equipment or
cause damage.
Choose an appropriate location before installing the fountain. DO NOT lift, push or drag the product when it’s
filled with water. Empty the product before lifting.
Excessive weight or pressure on any of the fountain sections may cause it to tip or fall over. Keep pets and
children away from any of the fountain sections.
Some splashing may occur. To avoid injury from electrical shock, observe basic safety precautions and comply
with the following instructions:
The pump on your fountain has no user serviceable parts. Only an authorized service representative should
service the pump. Do not open the sealed pump housing as this may result in electrical shock. Refer to
enclosed pump maintenance guide for cleaning.
1. Install the fountain pump correctly before operating it.
2. DO NOT allow the pump to run dry.
3. An adult should supervise children when they are around the pump.
4. Use the proper power source as indicated on the pump label.
5. Equip the electrical power for the pump with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
6. If the entire fountain falls into the water accidentally, turn off the circuit breaker immediately.
7. If any leakage occurs around the pump housing, turn off the circuit breaker immediately and have the pump
serviced by a registered technician.
8. Do not operate the fountain if the pump has been dropped or has a damaged power cord or plug.
9. If the plug or your wall receptacle gets wet due to water dripping down the power cord or for any other reason,
do not remove the plug from the wall outlet until the circuit breaker is turned off.
NOTE: Allow the pump power cord to hang at a lower level than the wall
outlet to
form a “drip loop”. This will help prevent water from dripping down the
power cord
and getting into the wall outlet.
10. Always unplug the fountain pump and any other independent electrical accessories
from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning or replacing parts.
11. Disconnect the power cord from the outlet by holding the plug, not by pulling on the power cord.
12. Periodically change the water. Unplug the unit before changing water/cleaning. Clean the fountain water
tank, the pump’s outlet nozzle and PVC plastic tube for dirt and debris with a damp cloth if necessary.
13. If the fountain is not going to be used for a long period time, remove the plug from the power supply outlet.
14. Do not expose the pump to direct sunlight or to low temperatures for any period of time.
15. Keep the power cord away from high temperatures or heat sources.
