Limited Warranty Information
Thank you for choosing an Alpine product! We aim to please with our wide range of products
including Fountains, Birdbaths, Statuary, Pond Supplies & More. All of our products are constructed
from the highest quality materials. In the event that we have not achieved our usual standard of
excellence, we will repair or replace, at our discretion, within the warranty period. A valid proof of
purchase, with the purchase date clearly indicated, must be provided. Photos of defective
merchandise will also be required to help distinguish the actual cause of the defect. Please read
below for a detailed description of warranty coverage.
Water Damage
Alpine products are not manufactured to withstand extreme temperatures. Improper
storage that allows water to freeze within a product may cause damage and is considered
negligence and will, therefore not be covered under this warranty. The use of “hard water”
and/or caustic cleaners can affect the paint or other finishes. Failure to keep the unit clean,
and use of such additives/cleaners, will also void the warranty. Please note: for fountains,
it is normal for some splashing to occur and protecting the immediate surfaces is not the
responsibility of Alpine Corporation
Paint & Color (Retention and/or Loss)
The use of water will cause natural erosion to the color. This area can be touched up
using standard paint. The paint is designed to protect the entire finish against breakdown
of color. As with any product, all finishes with time will gradually fade and discolor. The
warranty will only cover against severe or complete fading within the first year from date of
purchase with the above exclusion.
Procedure/Service
Should a warranty/claim be needed, you should contact the retailer from whom you
purchased the product. If that is not an option, you can contact Alpine Corporation at
www.alpine4u.com. When contacting Alpine Corporation, you must be prepared to
show proof of purchase, provide photographs and any other information needed to
validate your claim. This may be necessary to distinguish between a partial or complete
replacement of a defective product. The warranty does not cover any items with multiple
parts; the warranty will ONLY cover the individual component of the unit/item that may be
defective. Replacement parts can be made available to a consumer through the original
selling party, or an approved parts retailer. If this is not an option, contact our customer
service department. Item is covered under one year limited warranty from the date of
purchase. When requesting replacement parts due to a warranty claim after 30 days of
purchase, credit card information will be requested for shipping charges.
Not Covered Under Warranty
The limited warranty will NOT cover cases of damages due to
1. Damages caused in Transit
2. Inadequate care and/or neglect
3. Environmental and/or natural elements
4. Immersion in water, unless specified
5. Improper Installation/Storage and/or Maintenance
This warranty is void if the product has been damaged by accident, misuse, negligence, improper
installation and/or modifications have occurred. This includes any and/or all defects arising out of
freezing water damage, hard water damage, failure to keep the unit clean and free of harmful
additives such as bleach, chlorine, etc…. which affects the paint and/or parts. This warranty also
does not cover any additional charges or installation, removal, disposal and/or shipping costs or
consequential damage associated with any warranty claim

Picking the Right Spot/Inserting Stake Lights
Select a garden, lawn or similar location in full, direct sunlight where your solar
product can receive at least 6-8 hours of daily sunlight. Shadowed locations will
not allow the battery (ies) to charge fully and will reduce the hours of nighttime
lighting. Do NOT select locations near nighttime light sources,such as
streetlights, flood lights or other strong outdoor or home lighting. This may cause
the solar lights to turn off automatically.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging garden stakes when inserting into the ground,
select a spot in soft, rock-free, “garden-ready” soil. Insert the base of the stake
first then gently insert the rest of the stake into the base. Do NOT push directly
against the solar cell or the top containing the actual LED light.
Using Your Solar Garden Product the First Time
Install your solar light in direct sunlight and charge for a full 8 hours in direct
sunlight. Once the solar light has been fully charged, the light will automatically
turn on at dusk. Note: Be sure to twist off the light cover and remove the tab
located near the Battery cover.
When you unpack your new solar light, the ON/OFF switch (located on the solar
lantern-Refer to Diagram above) will be in the OFF position. Leave the switch
in the OFF position for 8 hours, while the battery is charging.
To turn ON your new solar light, push the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
If Your Solar Garden Product Fails to Illuminate:
Be sure that the solar panel is in direct sunlight.
Do NOT leave your solar light underneath a night time light source, such as a
street light, as this will prevent the light from switching on at night.
Be sure the switch is in the ON position.
Your garden lights are sprinkler and rain resistant. Periodically wipe away dust,
debris, or snow that may have gathered on the solar panel, to ensure full
charging of the batteries.
Test the solar panel by covering it with your hands to see if the light turns on, if it
does not check the battery to be sure it is intact.
If your battery is intact, but does not appear to work properly, dispose of it and
replace it with a new Alpine Rechargeable Battery (Item # QLP596-2).
