THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURCHASE!
Product Registration:
Bernini Fountains recommends you register
your new fountain. You can register on-line at
berninifountains.com/register, by printing
and mailing in a registration card available
on-line from our website, by calling our
customer care department at 1+ (619) 449-
2392, or by emailing us at customercare@
berninifountains.com. Failure to register
your fountain will not diminish your warranty
rights. However, registering your fountain will
allow Bernini Fountains to better serve you
with any of your customer care needs.
FIRST THINGS FIRST:
Bernini Fountains is dedicated to
our customers. We strive to make
your customer care experience
as pleasurable as possible. With
that being said, there are always
circumstances beyond our
control when a fountain doesn’t
work or breaks under normal
operating conditions. We think
it’s important that you know what
you can expect from us. This is
why we have a limited one year
warranty on our fountains.

INSTALLING BATTERIES
NOTE: The Battery Housing utilizes screws that are captive in the Battery Housing.
When they are loosened they will stay within the Battery Housing and will not come
loose (Arrow A & B Figure 2c).
1. (If Battery Compartment & Water Pump are installed into the Topper) Lift out of
the Topper (Figure 1a). Disconnect the Water Tube from the Battery Compartment (A
Figure 1b&c).
2. Unscrew (counter clockwise) the Battery Compartment Screws and open cover
(Figure 1d). Note: Cover fits tightly and may take some effort to separate. If screws
continue to turn compartment is completely unscrewed.
3. Fountain requires 4 D batteries (Not Included). Insert x2 D Batteries with the (+)
side facing up in Battery Compartment and x2 D Batteries with the (-) facing up in
Battery Compartment (Figure 2a).
NOTE: Flat or negative side of battery will rest on springs.
4. Reinstall the Fountain Top by aligning the locating dowel in the Battery
Compartment and Fountain Top (Figure 1e white arrow). Set the Battery Cover down
onto the Battery Compartment ensuring the dowel sets into the alignment hole.
6. Apply pressure and tighten the Battery
Cover Screws by turning clockwise.
NOTE: Pressure must be applied to the
Battery Compartment while tightening
the screws to assure the compartment
is properly sealed. If needed, while holding

HOW THE SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM OPERATES
SOLAR PANEL ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
The Bernini Fountains®Solar Panel System is designed to prolong the run time of
your fountain and extend the time between replacing your batteries. The Bernini
Fountains®Solar Panel System combines standard D Cell batteries and a computer
controlled, high-capacity solar assist system. For best results, start with new
batteries.
The Bernini Fountains®Solar Panel System will extend the batteries life and time
between changes. The batteries will still need to be changed, however the time
between changes can now be prolonged. Please note, the time between changes
will vary based on the amount of sun exposure and how often you use your
fountain. When the batteries charge runs low, simply follow the “Changing The
Batteries Section” instructions to continue enjoying your Bernini Fountains®.
Figure 2
Figure 1
As stated in the previous section, place fountain in a suitable bowl to ensure Solar
Panel Power Cord does not get pinched or damaged. Ensure Solar Panel Power
Cord sits in the notch built into the bottom of the Fountain Base. (Figure 1).
Extend the Solar Panel Power Cord out as needed, a maximum of 6 ft. Push the
stake assembly on the Solar Panel into soft dirt until the stake assembly can se-
curely stand upright (Figure 2).

CONTINUE WITH SETUP
OF YOUR FOUNTAIN.
NOTE: If desired you can run your fountain without the Solar Panel Installed.
1. Lift the battery housing out of the Fountain.
2. Simply unscrew the Solar Power Panel Power Cord from the Power Port.
3. Reinstall the Solar Panel Power Port Protective Cap, ensure it is installed tight on the
Solar Panel Power Port to prevent any water from entering the Solar Panel Power Port.
4. Fill Bowl with water. Depending on bowl size or depth, ensure water does touch bottom
of battery housing.
Always angle the solar panel
towards the sun to maximize
exposure to sunlight required
to power the fountain.
To ensure optimal power and
sunlight hitting your fountain’s
solar panel, you may need to
rotate or turn the solar panel
towards the sun as necessary.
