SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the
product.
CAUTION: As with any large container of water, fountains are to be used carefully with adult
supervision. They are not intended to be used as "kid pools" and present a risk to small children and
infants. Injury or accidental drowning could result. In addition, as with any electrical appliance, make
sure the pump plug is dry before you plug it into an outlet, and make sure you are not standing in the
water - electrical shock could result. Filled fountain weighs a considerable amount: make sure
your set-up area can support at least 300 lbs.
For best results – Install the fountain on a flat, level surface close to an electrical outlet.
Place the fountain in a location where any water spills or splashing will not reach any other electrical
equipment or cause damage.
Choose an appropriate location before installing the fountain. DO NOT lift or push/drag the water
basin to relocate the fountain when it's filled with water. Empty the water basin before lifting.
Excessive weight or pressure on any of the fountain sections may cause it to tip or fall over. Keep
pets and children away from any of the fountain sections.
Some splashing may occur. To avoid injury from electrical shock, observe basic safety precautions
and comply with the following instructions:
The pump on the fountain has no user serviceable parts. Only an authorized service representative
should service the pump. Do not open the sealed pump housing as this may result in electrical
shock. Refer to enclosed pump maintenance guide for cleaning.
 Always unplug the pump from the electric outlet before cleaning and handling.
 Use with clean water only. Do not place it in other liquids. Do not allow the pump to run dry.
 An adult should supervise children when they are around the pump.
 Use the proper power source as indicated on the pump label.
 Equip the electrical power for the pump with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
 Keep the fountain away from high temperatures or heat sources.
 Do not use the pump in water above 86°F.
 Disconnect the power cord from the outlet by holding the plug. Do not lift, carry, or pull the pump
by the power cord.
 If the entire fountain falls into the water accidentally, turn off the circuit breaker immediately.
 If any leakage occurs around the pump housing, turn off the circuit breaker immediately and
have the pump serviced by a registered technician.
 Do not operate the fountain if the pump has been dropped or has a damaged power cord or plug.
Do not replace the power cord.
 Keep the plug dry. Do not expose the plug to water or steam. Do not use the pump in swimming
pool or marine area.
 If the plug or the 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.
NOTE: Allow the pump power cord to hang at a lower level
than the wall outlet to form a "drip loop." This will help
prevent water from dripping down the power cord and
getting into the wall outlet.
 Do not expose the pump to direct sunlight or to low
temperatures for any period of time.
 Use only a UL-approved extension cord of the correct rating to avoid overheating.
 Do not use attachments that are not provided by the manufacturer since they may cause an
unsafe condition.
