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 it.
-
Feed the pump and LED light cables through the plastic tube in the reservoir, and through the channel on the bottom of the pedestal.
-
Attach the pump to the hose, then place the ornate column onto the reservoir and twist the ornate column to secure it.
-
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 on Page 3. Over time, the finish may gradually mellow in colour; this is part of the natural aging process.
SOLAR PANEL OPERATION
NOTE: The LED light is designed to only work at nighttime.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 stop.
The pump will not run again until the solar panel is manually restarted. Daily
4-Hour Timer Mode: Press the [Timer modes] button until the third indicator
light [daily 4hrs Timer] is lit — the pump will run for 4 hours and shut down
(on 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 on 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.
PERFORMANCE OF PUMP
The performance of the pump depends on the orientation of the solar panel
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 the battery power is low.
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.
BATTERY INFORMATION
The Li-ion backup battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, have 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.
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 a 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 the 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 by local laws and regulations.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Check all solar panels, pumps, 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 full sun 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.

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 it 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.
