SETTING UP THE
1) Prepare a suitable location for
your new fountain, with a firm and level
surface. Follow local electrical codes.
Make sure to connect to a safe 110V
GFCI circuit.
2) Set the 5401B Basin in the
prepared location. Thread the smaller
barbed adapter into the pump top. Place
the pump in the center of the basin and
push its cord down through the center
hole and out the back of the basin through
the notch provided.
3) Connect the 5 meter long cable to
the three-way light cord adapter. Then
slip the other end of the cable down the
center hole with the pump cord. You
should leave about two feet of the cable
inside the basin along with the three-way
light cord adapter.
4) Open the slit in the rubber stopper, place its pre-sized holes around these power cords (pump cord in the
larger hole), close it over the cords, then push it down tightly into the basin's center hole, leaving just 1/8" of the
stopper above the basin floor.
5) Set a spot light on each side of the basin floor, leaving most of the power cords wound up near the plug end.
Connect the plug ends to the three-way light cord adapter.
6) With the 5401A fountain top on its side, slip the power cord of the ring light down from the top opening
through the fountain top. Pick up the larger barbed adapter which has a slot cut across the threads to provide
passage for the light power cord. As you hold the adapter inside the Fountain Top, slip the light cord inside this slot.
Then gently twist the adapter into place in the fountain top as shown. Finally, push one end of the water tube onto
this adapter's barbed end.
7) Set the fountain top inside the basin, over the pump and stopper. Lean it against the front of the basin with
some padding (folded cloth or blanket?) in between. Reach under and connect the power cord to the remaining open
leg of the three-way adapter. Twist all connector nuts tight against the three-way adapter to make them water-tight.
8) As you lower the fountain top, push the bottom of the water tube onto the pump adapter. Make sure all
cords are tucked in and that it sits level. (Shims are provided in case you need to re-level it later.)
9) Two Copper Plates are included to help the water spill fully from the top channels. Use the small tube of
silicone to attach them to the channels. The plates should overhang about ¼" for the best spill effect.
