Product Usage Instructions
Fountain Assembly
Select a level location to place the fountain. Assemble
components on a smooth, clean surface to avoid scratching or
damaging the finish.
NOTE: The water tubing is built into the
topper. Take care when handling the water tube; detaching the water
tube from the topper will damage the fountain and void the product
warranty.
-
Place the reservoir on top of the pedestal and twist the
reservoir clockwise to secure. -
Attach the pump to the hose, then place the ornate column onto
the reservoir and twist it to secure. -
Feed the pump and LED light cables through the plastic tube in
the reservoir and through the channel on the bottom of the
pedestal. -
Fill the fountain with water, ensuring the pump is completely
submerged during operation; approximately 1.5 gallons.
Solar Panel Assembly
-
Connect the bracket, tube, and spike and attach the solar panel
to the bracket as shown. -
Insert the spike into the ground. Position the solar panel to
face south (in the northern hemisphere) to make the most of
daylight hours. It is important to angle the solar panel towards
the sun when the sun is at its highest point. Ensure trees, shrubs,
or buildings do not shade the solar panel. -
Connect the pump and LED light cables to the solar panel
(charger sold separately).
Your new fountain is ready to use. Refer to the Solar Panel
Operation information below.
Solar Panel Operation
NOTE: The LED light is designed to only
illuminate at night.
-
Continual ON Mode: Press the [Power on/off] button, and the top indicator light [continual on] will be lit. The
pump will run continuously until the battery power runs out. The
pump will automatically restart when the solar panel battery has
been sufficiently charged with sunlight. -
4-Hour Timer Mode: Press the [Timer modes] button until the second indicator light [4hrs Timer] is lit. The
pump will run for 4 hours and then stop. The pump will not run
again until the solar panel is manually restarted.
Maintenance of Pump
This solar pump is designed to last for years if properly
cleaned and maintained. If the pump starts losing power or stops
working, clean the pump filter and impeller with clean water.

9. SOLAR PANEL OPERATION
NOTE: The LED light is designed to only work at nighttime.
Continual ON Mode: Press [Power on/off] button, the top indicator light
[continual on] will be lit — the pump will run continuously until the battery
power runs out. The pump will automatically restart when the solar panel
battery has been sufficiently charged with sunlight.
11. MAINTENANCE OF PUMP
This solar pump is designed to last for years if it is properly cleaned and
maintained. If the pump starts losing power or stops working, clean the pump
filter and impeller with clean water.
4-Hour Timer Mode: Press [Timer modes] button until the second indicator light
[4hrs Timer] is lit — the pump will run for 4 hours and stop. The pump will
not run again until the solar panel is manually restarted.
Daily 4-Hour Timer Mode: Press [Timer modes] button until the third indicator
light [daily 4hrs Timer] is lit — the pump will run for 4 hours and shut down
(in standby) for 20 hours; this operation will repeat daily at the same time.
You can reset the pump’s daily start-up time by switching it on at a new
desired time in this same mode. NOTE: The third indicator light will blink
slowly when the pump has reached the 4-hour runtime and be in standby for the
following 20 hours. To save battery power, the indicator light will
automatically turn off. You can activate the indicator light to check its
status with a single push of either button; the indicator light will be on for
a while and shut off again.
BATTERY LOW [RED INDICATOR LIGHT BLINKING]: Battery power is low, and the pump
will stop running soon to protect the battery. The red indicator light will
turn off after the solar panel receives enough sunlight for the battery to be
recharged.
PLEASE NOTE: This model allows for the battery pack to be charged with an
original electric charger (sold separately). Only use the original battery
charger as alternatives may damage the battery and will void the warranty. See
contact information under WARRANTY to order the compatible charger.
10. PERFORMANCE OF PUMP
The performance of the pump depends on the orientation of the solar panel
being toward the sun and sunlight strength; pump performance is not guaranteed
when the solar panel is in the shade or poor weather conditions. Max. Data is
obtained during optimal conditions (refer to Technical Data); solar panel
performance cannot be guaranteed if placed in the shade or during poor weather
conditions. The performance of the pump also depends on the battery power
level; the pump cannot operate if battery power is low.

12. BATTERY INFORMATION
The Li-ion backup battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limited
life span and becomes less efficient with repeated charge/discharge cycles. As
the capacity of the battery reduces over time, you may not achieve the full
hours of operation. If you find that the battery appears less efficient, try
to “boost charge” it by turning the power off for 1 to 2 sunny days to allow
the battery to achieve a maximum charge. Occasional “boost charges” will help
prolong the battery life. If your battery pack still does not perform to
expectations after a boost charge, replace it with a new pack.
13. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
IMPORTANT: Only use original backup battery packs; alternatives may be
incompatible, which may damage the system and will void the warranty. See
contact information under WARRANTY (page 4) to order the compatible
replacement battery pack.
Remove the screws (part 1) from the control
panel cover (part 2) using a
Phillips-head screwdriver.
Disconnect the battery pack connector (part 3), and remove the battery pack (part 4) from control panel base (part 5).
Connect the new battery pack connector to the control panel base and insert the battery.
Replace the panel cover and tighten the screws. Dispose of the batteries in accordance with local laws and regulations.

14. TROUBLESHOOTING
Check all solar panel, pump, and LED light connections. Make sure connections
are secure and the cables are plugged into the correct ports on the control
panel.
Ensure the solar panel is correctly positioned in a fullsun location and is
not shaded by trees, shrubs or buildings; refer to page 2.
Check the control panel and confirm it is set to the preferred operation
setting; refer to page 3. If the [Battery Low] light is blinking, the battery
pack power is critically low and requires charging. Switch off the pump and
leave the solar panel in direct sunlight for at least 6 hours to recharge the
battery pack.
Check the water level to make sure the pump is fully submerged.
Check the fountain tubing for kinks and obstructions. Also, check to make sure
the tubing is tightly connected to the pump.
Check the pump to make sure it is not blocked by or clogged with debris.
The pump may be “air locked” from water levels getting too low or additional
water being added. Turn the pump on/off several times to clear any air that
may be trapped inside the pump.

16. CARE INFORMATION
Check the water level frequently to ensure the pump remains submerged; never
allow the pump to run dry as it will burn out the motor.
Clean the fountain, pump, and solar panel regularly. Do not use abrasive
materials or harsh chemicals, such as bleach or chlorine, to clean the
fountain.
Always shut off the power supply before cleaning and maintaining the fountain
and the pump.
During freezing weather, drain the fountain, disconnect the pump, cables and
solar panel, and store indoors; allowing ice to form inside the fountain will
damage the fountain and void the warranty.
The optimal temperature for lithium batteries is 10°C to 45°C, do not use the
product beyond this temperature range.
IMPORTANT! Fully charge the battery before storing. Over time, battery power
discharges, so if it is stored at no charge, there is a chance it won’t accept
a charge again. To avoid this problem, disconnect the pump and leave the solar
panel in direct sunlight for 1 or 2 days to ensure the battery has been
recharged.
