Setup Instructions
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the fountain for any damage. Retain packaging materials for future storage or transport.
- Placement: Select a level surface for the fountain. Ensure it is near a suitable outdoor electrical outlet. The fountain measures 60"L x 33"W x 28"H, so allow adequate space.
- Assembly: This fountain typically comes largely pre-assembled. Connect the pump hose to the water outlet located within the fountain structure. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Filling: Fill the lowest basin of the fountain with clean water. Ensure the pump is fully submerged. Do not overfill; leave some space to prevent splashing.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected outdoor electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions
- Initial Start-up: Once plugged in, the pump will begin circulating water, and the LED lights will illuminate. Allow a few minutes for water to fully circulate and for air to escape the pump.
- Water Level: Regularly check the water level in the lowest basin. Due to evaporation and splashing, water levels will decrease over time. Refill as needed to ensure the pump remains fully submerged. Operating the pump dry can cause damage.
- Adjusting Flow: Some pumps may have an adjustable flow rate switch. If available, adjust to your preferred water flow.
- LED Lights: The integrated LED lights operate automatically when the fountain is powered on, providing illumination to the water flow.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: To prevent algae and mineral buildup, clean the fountain regularly. Drain the water, wipe down surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Pump Care: Periodically clean the pump to ensure optimal performance. Disconnect power, remove the pump, and clean any debris from the impeller and intake screen.
- Water Quality: Use distilled water to minimize mineral deposits, especially in hard water areas. Water treatment products designed for fountains can also help maintain water clarity.
- Winterization: In freezing climates, drain all water from the fountain and pump before the first frost. Clean the fountain and store it in a dry, protected area to prevent damage from ice expansion. The pump should also be stored indoors.
