IMPORTANT BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, READ FIRST
DANGER: Do not store battery in an airtight container as it may cause an explosion.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer
and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING: When using electric devices, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock and personal injury, including the fol-
lowing:
WARNING:
1. Do not incinerate the battery even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery can explode
in a re. Check with municipal codes in your area for possible special disposal instructions.
2. If liquid leaks from the battery cell, discontinue use immediately and dispose of properly.
3. Do not charge battery in rain or in wet location.
4. Never attempt to open the battery for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery breaks or cracks, imme-
diately discontinue use and do not recharge. If the battery appears to be dusty or dirty, wipe it o with a soft
cloth.
5. Use only the included battery. Contact our customer service line for a replacement at 888-648-2011.
6. Do not attempt to disassemble, remodel or destroy the battery, as it may cause battery leakage, re, or
bursting; and could also create sulfuric acid spills from the battery resulting in possible burns to person and
damage to the immediate environment.
7. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings,
bracelets or keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
8. The battery contains diluted sulfuric acid, a very toxic substance. If the battery leaks and the liquid inside spills
on the skin or clothing, immediately wash it o with plenty of clean water. If the liquid splashes into eyes,
immediately ush the eyes with plenty of clean water and consult a doctor. Sulfuric acid in the eyes may cause
loss of eyesight and acid on the skin will cause burns.
9. Charge battery using the specied charger and under the charging conditions as specied. Charging the bat-
tery under any other conditions may cause the battery to overheat, emit hydrogen gas, leak, ignite or burst.
10. When this product is not used for 30 days or more, remove the battery from the fountain, charge it fully and
store in a place where humidity is low. Do not store the battery under direct sunlight or in high temperatures.
Unsatisfactory storage conditions may cause deterioration in battery performance, and may shorten the
service life.
11. When charging the battery always do so in a well ventilated area and where you can observe the charging
process.
12. Never dispose of batteries in the garbage. Disposal of batteries in the garbage is unlawful under state and
federal environmental laws and regulations. Always take used batteries to your local battery-recycling center.
13. DO NOT CHARGE ON COUNTER TOPS, CARPETS OR OTHER FINISHED SURFACES. IT IS RECOM-
MENDED THAT THE BATTERY BE PLACED ON A CONCRETE SURFACE WHILE CHARGING.

Note: You will notice on the bottom of the large bowl there are two tabs coming from the
sides of the ring in the middle of the underside of the large bowl. One of the tabs on the
bottom of the bowl is larger than the other.
These tabs t into corresponding grooves in the top of the base.
Step1: Make sure to
place the base of your
fountain on a at, rm
surface.
Step 3: Turn the large
bowl a quarter turn clock-
wise to lock it into place.
Step 2: Apply downward
pressure to the bottom of
the base by stepping on the
edge of the bottom of the
base to prevent the base
from turning.
Connect the large bowl to
the base.

Step 1: Inside the fountain
bowl you will nd a green
banded cord attached to the
water pump. Feed this cord
into the pipe in the middle of
the large bowl.
The fountain bowl will install
into the middle of the large
bowl assembled in step 1.
Step 2: Rest the fountain
bowl on the side of the large
bowl and feed the LED light
power cable down into the
pipe.
NOTE: If the cables slip
out of the rubber stopper
you can press the cable(s)
into the slit(s) in the side of
the rubber stopper until the
cord(s) t snugly into the hole
inside in the middle of the
rubber stopper.
Step 3: Press the plug into
the pipe in the middle of the
large bowl.
If you are having trouble
pressing the plug into the
pipe, you can rub a little
bit of soapy water on the
plug to help it slide into
place.
Step 4: To ensure that you
have a good seal, make
sure the plug ts snugly as
pictured above.
If your fountain came with the water pump disconnected from the tube inside of
the fountain bowl, refer to page 26 for instructions on how to connect the water
pump to the fountain bowl.

Step 6: Just like the large bowl and
base, the fountain bowl uses a key
system that will lock it to the middle of
the large bowl.
Be sure to leave enough length of
cord coming from the water pump
so the pump will sit on the bottom
of the large bowl when the fountain
bowl is assembled.
Step 7: Connect the fountain bowl to
the large bowl and turn the fountain
bowl about a quarter turn clockwise to
lock it into place.
STOP!
At this point, your fountain should look like the image on
the left. Go to the next page for the next step to setup
your new Bernini Fountain.

Connecting The Battery
Important
Attached to the battery are two rubber stoppers. These are to be inserted into the
black and orange labeled receptacles. When these receptacles are not in use, keep
the rubber plugs inserted into the receptacles to protect your battery from mois-
ture.
Step 2: Connect the color
coded cords to their corre-
sponding receptacles labeled
on the battery.
Use the diagram below for
more help on connecting the
battery
Step 3: Place the battery
inside of the compartment as
shown in the picture.
DO NOT PLACE BATTERY
UPSIDE DOWN INSIDE OF
ITS COMPARTMENT.
Step 1: In the open battery
compartment you will see
three cords that you must
connect to the battery to use
your fountain.
If you do not see the three
cables inside the battery
compartment, you may
need to reach up into the
base and gently pull them
down until they are hanging
inside the battery compart-
ment.

Step 1: Starting at the right
side of the compartment, line
up the battery door with the
door tracks.
Step 2: Then push the
battery compartment door
from right to left until it stops
moving.
Step 3: Once the door is
in place, you may notice a
small notch in the bottom
left corner of the battery
compartment door. This is
for the optional Bernini solar
panel cord.
Inserting Battery Compartment Door
After you have connected the cables inside your fountain to the rechargeable battery,
you should then place the battery compartment door on the base of the fountain.
STOP!
At this point, your fountain should look like the
