Safety Information
- The edges of solar panels may be sharp. Handle with care during installation.

Package Contents
Please check the package to ensure all items are present:
- 1 x Solar Panel
- 1 x Water Pump
- 8 x Nozzle Accessories (various spray patterns)
- 1 x Ground Stake (for solar panel mounting)
- 1 x Instruction Manual (this document, and a PDF version is available for download)
Setup Instructions
- Assemble the Solar Panel: Attach the solar panel to the provided ground stake. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Connect the Pump: Connect the water pump to the solar panel's power cable.
- Choose a Nozzle: Select your desired nozzle accessory from the 8 options provided. Attach it firmly to the pump outlet. Different nozzles create various spray patterns and heights.
- Position the Pump: Place the water pump entirely submerged in your bird bath, pond, or water feature. Ensure it is on a stable surface and not obstructed by debris.
- Position the Solar Panel: Place the solar panel in a location that receives direct and unobstructed sunlight. The ground stake allows for easy positioning in soft ground. Ensure the solar panel is not immersed in water.
Operating Instructions
The ATUOTIN Solar Fountain Pump operates directly from solar energy and does not require external power sources or batteries.
- Once the solar panel is exposed to sufficient direct sunlight, the pump will start working within 3 seconds.
- The water spray height and flow rate are directly dependent on the intensity of the sunlight. On cloudy days or in shaded areas, the pump may spray intermittently or not at all.
- Experiment with different nozzles to achieve your desired water pattern and height.
Maintenance
- Keep Water Clean: Regularly ensure the water in your fountain or pond is clean. Impurities can clog the pump and affect its performance.
- Clean the Pump: Periodically remove the pump from the water and clean any debris, algae, or mineral buildup from its intake and impeller. This helps maintain optimal operation and extends the pump's lifespan.
- Avoid Dry Running: Always ensure the pump is fully submerged in water when operating. Running the pump dry can cause damage.
Troubleshooting
- Pump not spraying or spraying intermittently:
- Ensure the solar panel is receiving sufficient direct sunlight. The pump is a direct-drive unit and requires strong sunlight to operate continuously.
- Check for obstructions or debris in the pump's intake or nozzle. Clean the pump thoroughly if necessary.
- Reduced spray height or flow:
- Verify the solar panel is clean and free of dirt or shade.
- Clean the pump and nozzles to remove any buildup that might be restricting water flow.
- Ensure the water level is adequate and the pump is fully submerged.
