1. Install the fountain pump correctly before operating it.

2. DO NOT allow the pump to run dry.

3. For fountains with multiple sections or attached decorations: If any of the fountain’s attached sections with electrical lights or components fall into the water located in fountain base, unplug the
   fountain and turn off circuit breaker before trying to put the fountain pieces back in place.

4. If any leakage occurs around the pump housing, turn off the circuit breaker immediately and have the pump serviced by a registered technician.

5. Do not operate the fountain if the pump has been dropped or has a damaged power cord or plug.

6. If the plug or your wall receptacle gets wet due to water dripping down the power cord or for any other reason, do not remove the plug from the wall outlet until the circuit breaker is turned off.

7. Always unplug the fountain pump and any other independent electrical accessories (e.g. lights) from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning or replacing parts.

8. Disconnect the power cord from the outlet by holding the plug, not by pulling on the power cord.

9. Do not expose the pump to direct sunlight or to low temperatures for any period of time.

10. Keep the power cord away from high temperatures or heat sources.
