Installation Instructions
STEP ONE
Use the ropes to position the Unit in the desired location in the pond/lake (secure the cord near power source to prevent it from being
dragged into the water). Anchor the ropes or secure them to the shoreline so the ropes are free of slack, but not tight. To prevent
twisting of the unit due to torque, you should place the anchor at least 3m from the float for each meter of depth (Ex. A 3m deep pond
would require an anchor 9m horizontally from the float.) For ease of removal, you may choose to keep at least one anchor within
reach from shore, just below the water’s surface.

Incorrect Anchoring
STEP TWO (ALTERNATE INSTALLATION)
In ponds where the water level fluctuates significantly, you may need to suspend a small weight (30cm of 2.54cm galvanize pipe
works well) at the mid-point of the rope to take up any slack as the water level drops. The weight should be light enough so the Unit
can rise as the water level rises. This can also help hide ropes by sinking them further below the surface.

STEP THREE
At this time the Fountain is ready for operation. The unit can now be connected to the electrical circuit (fixed wiring) with a plug or
direct wire connection. The circuit must be provided with a disconnect switch, short circuit, and ground fault protection (RCD). Refer
to unit specs for voltage and amperage ratings. Also, the motor name plate lists the unit’s electrical ratings. Electrical installation
must follow local and national electrical codes and should be installed by a professional.
