ASSEMBLING & USING YOUR PRODUCT
Unpack all components carefully. Check the packaging
to ensure that you have removed all of the parts.
Some splashing may occur when the fountain is in use.
1. Place the fountain base on a smooth and level
surface. Allow enough space to access the pump.
2. Remove the pump from its packaging and adjust
the ow control to the lowest setting to avoid
splashing until the fountain is completely
assembled.
Alpine Quick Tip #1
Slide right to reduce the
water ow. Slide left to
increase the water ow.

ASSEMBLING & USING YOUR PRODUCT
3. Pull the vinyl tubing through the back opening of
the fountain. Push the connector on the pump into
the tubing.
4. Place the pump inside the fountain, on the bottom
of the reservoir.
5. Connect the Bird and Fountain Top to the Fountain
Base.

6
ASSEMBLING & USING YOUR PRODUCT
6. Without splashing, gently pour water into the
fountain. Using distilled water prevents scale build-
up. Do not allow the water to overow! Make sure
the water completely covers the pump.
7. Plug the power cord into your local power supply.
The pump will turn on.
Note: Make sure that there is no water around
the plug and always keep the power source in a
dry place. Always use a properly grounded GFCI
(ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet.

7
ASSEMBLING & USING YOUR PRODUCT
8. Make sure the water runs clear during operation.
Because there is air in the pump and water lines, it
can take up to 5 minutes for the pump to expel the
air completely. Then, water will ow properly.
9. Adjust the pump’s ow control to produce an
attractive effect without splashing.
10. Set the pump on its suction cup feet on the bottom
of the reservoir and press down to secure it.
11. Congratulations, your fountain is now complete.
Don’t forget to add water regularly, as water will
evaporate over time.

TROUBLESHOOTING
9
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have any questions or problems, please contact
the retail store where you purchased this fountain.
If your pump fails to run
1. Check the circuit breaker or try a different outlet
to make sure the pump is receiving electrical
power.
2. Check the pump discharge and tubing for any
kinks and/or obstructions.
3. Any buildup obstructing the water ow can be
ushed with a garden hose.
4. Check the rotor by removing the front cover and
plate to access the impeller area. Turn the rotor
and make sure that the rotor is not jammed or
broken.
If your pump “spews”
• Check the water level to make sure the pump is
completely submerged and there is enough water
in the basin to operate your fountain. Not having
enough water will cause your pump to spew.
If your pump makes abnormal, loud noises
1. Disconnect the pump from the electrical power
supply and remove the front cover and plate.
2. Carefully grip the impeller and gently pull the
impeller/rotor assembly out of the pump housing.
3. Rinse the impeller/rotor assembly and clean the
cavity with clean water. If breakage or damage is
found, contact your local retailer for parts.

CAUTION
10
CAUTION
• Always unplug the pump from the electrical
outlet before cleaning or handling.
• Use with clean water only. Do not place the
fountain or its parts in any other liquid.
• Periodically change the water and clean the
pump to keep it free from microorganisms.
• In freezing weather, or if the fountain will not
be used for an extended period, disconnect it
and store it in a dry place.
• Do not lift, carry, or pull the pump by the
power cord.
• Only use this fountain outdoors.
• Always connect this fountain to a covered
Class A GFCI receptacle with an enclosure
that is weatherproof with the attachment plug
cap inserted or removed.
• Do not exceed the maximum voltage and
wattage on the transformer.
• NEVER LET THE PUMP RUN DRY.

LIMITED WARRANTY INFORMATION
11
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, is considered
negligence, and will not be covered under this warranty. The use of “hard water,” and/or
caustic cleaners, can affect the painted or other nishes. 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 nish against breakdown
of color. As with any product, all nishes with time will gradually fade and discolor. The
warranty will only cover against severe or complete fading, within the rst 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. If your purchase was after our 30-day grace period, payment
information will be requested for shipping charges.
Not Covered Under Warranty
The limited warranty will NOT cover cases of damages due to:
1. Inadequate care and/or neglect
2. Environmental and/or natural elements
3. Immersion in water, unless specied
4. Improper Installation/Storage and/or Maintenance
This warranty is void if the product has been damaged by accident, misuse, negligence, improper
installation and/or modications 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.
