4. Setup Instructions

1. Choose a Nozzle: Select one of the four provided nozzles based on your desired spray pattern. Gently attach the chosen nozzle to the pump outlet. Ensure it is securely fitted.
2. Attach Anti-Drift Tubes (Optional): If using the pump in a larger container or pond and wish to keep it centered, attach the four anti-drift plastic tubes to the designated slots on the underside of the pump. These tubes help stabilize the pump and prevent it from floating to the edges.
3. Place in Water: Carefully place the assembled solar fountain pump into your bird bath, pond, or water container. Ensure the pump is fully submerged and the solar panel is facing upwards towards direct sunlight.
4. Ensure Sufficient Water Level: Verify that there is enough water in the container to completely cover the pump. Insufficient water can lead to pump damage.
5. Sunlight Exposure: Position the water feature in an area that receives ample direct sunlight. The pump will start operating automatically within 3 seconds once sufficient sunlight hits the solar panel.

5. Operating Instructions

The LAWOHO Solar Fountain Pump is designed for simple, automatic operation:

• Automatic Start: The pump will automatically start spraying water within 3 seconds of receiving sufficient direct sunlight.
• Sunlight Dependency: The strength and height of the water spray are directly dependent on the intensity of direct sunlight. On cloudy days or in shaded areas, the pump's performance will be reduced or it may not operate.
• No Battery Storage: This model does not store solar energy in a battery, meaning it will only operate when exposed to direct sunlight. It will stop when the sun sets or is obscured.
• Water Level Monitoring: The pump features a built-in water level monitoring system. Ensure the water level is always adequate to keep the pump fully submerged.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your solar fountain pump:

• Clean Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the surface of the solar panel with a soft cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. A clean panel ensures maximum sunlight absorption and pump efficiency.
• Clean Pump Filter: The pump has a removable and washable filter at the bottom. It is recommended to take it out and rinse the filter regularly to prevent clogging from debris.
• Change Water: It is recommended to change the water in your bird bath or pond once a week to keep the water clean and prevent algae buildup, which can affect pump performance.
• Maintain Water Level: Always ensure there is enough water in the container to submerge the fountain. Operating the pump with insufficient water can cause damage.
