Limited Warranty Information
Thank you for choosing an Alpine product! We aim to please with our wide range of products
including Fountains, Birdbaths, Statuary, and 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 aproduct 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

Assembling & Using Your Product
Unpack all components carefully. Please check to ensure all parts have
been removed from the packaging.
How Your Solar Garden Product Works
During the day, the solar panel converts sunlight into electricity and recharges
the battery inside the solar panel. At night, the light turns on automatically using
the electricity stored during the day. The number of hours the light stays on at
night depends on you location and the availability and intensity of sunlight during
the day. Under normal conditions, if the solar panel is charged in full, direct
sunlight all day, the light should stay lit for several hours at night.
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 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 ornament housing containing the actual LED light.
Using Your Solar Garden Product the 1st Time
Leave the power switch on the “ON” position until the solar panel has been
charged in direct sunlight for 6-8 hours. This allows the rechargeable battery to
reach maximum capacity. If the light does not come on after a full day of
charging, check to be sure the power switch is in the “ON” position and that the
solar cell is in a bright, sunny spot rather than in the shade. The light will
automatically turn on at dusk and off at dawn.
Tips for Optimal Year Round Operation
Your garden lights are sprinkler and rain resistant. However, you should
periodically wipe away any dust that may gather on the solar panel with a damp
cloth and keep snow and debris clear of the solar panel. Otherwise the internal
battery may not recharge properly. If the solar panel is covered by dust, snow or
other debris for an extended period of time, after cleaning, please allow the
battery to recharge in direct, full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours.
Replacing & Disposing of Batteries!
Your product will contain 1 AA Ni-MH rechargeable battery which will generally
need to be replaced every 12 months to ensure consistent performance.
1. Push the power switch to “OFF” position.
2. Unscrew the battery housing.
3. Remove the old battery and replace it/them with a new AA Ni-MH
rechargeable battery.
The battery mechanism is spring-loaded. Press in the opposite side of the spring and lift
out the battery. Reverse this process when installing a new battery. Preserve our
environment by recycling the batteries or dispose of them in accordance with local, state
and federal guidelines. Do NOT dispose of batteries in the regular trash, municipal
waste, streams or by fire as the batteries may leak or explode. Do NOT open, mutilate or
short-circuit the batteries as this could result in injury.
