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 fol-
lowed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, including the following:
WARNING:
1. Do not incinerate the battery even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery can explode
in a fire. 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, immedi-
ately discontinue use and do not recharge. If the battery appears to be dusty or dirty, wipe it off 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, fire, 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 off with plenty of clean water. If the liquid splashes into eyes, imme-
diately flush 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 specified charger and under the charging conditions as specified. Charging the battery
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.

Unplug cords from
the battery before
charging.
Connect the black
cord of the charger
to the black labeled
receptacle.
Recharging The Battery
After about 40 hours of run time, it may be time to charge the battery for your Bernini
Fountain.
Step 1: Begin by discon-
necting and then removing
the battery from the base of
your fountain.
Plug the battery charger into
an electrical wall outlet.
Step 2: Remove the rubber
protective stopper inside of
the charging receptacle.
Then plug the cord running
from the battery charger to
the black labeled receptacle
on the rechargeable battery.
While the battery is charging,
the light next to the charger
receptacle will blink.
Step 3: Charge the battery for
12-14 hours. When the battery
is fully charged, the light will
stop blinking and the light will
be solid. At this point, you can
remove the battery from the
charger and plug the battery
into your fountain.
IMPORTANT
Attached to the battery are two rubber stoppers. These are to be inserted into the black and yellow labeled
receptacles. When these receptacles are not in use, keep the rubber plugs inserted into the receptacles to
protect your battery from moisture.
DO NOT CHARGE ON COUNTER TOPS, CARPETS OR OTHER FINISHED SURFACES. IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT THE BATTERY BE PLACED ON A CONCRETE SURFACE WHILE CHARGING.
The yellow receptacle is not needed for the initial setup of your Bernini Fountain. This is used for the op-
tional solar panel.

Cleaning the Water Pump’s Parts
Water Pump Air Filters
After about six weeks of usage, you may want to clean the water pump’s filter and im-
peller to keep your Bernini Fountain in tip-top shape.
Water Pump Impeller
The impeller inside of the water pump is what pushes water up through your fountain,
allowing you to enjoy the soothing sounds and wonderful sights of your Bernini Foun-
tain. After long periods of usage, this part will need to be cleaned to make sure your
fountain runs optimally.
Remove the front of
the water pump by
grabbing the sides
of the front panel
and pull it off the
unit.
Remove the impeller
chamber cover. This
is tightly fitted on to
the impeller cham-
ber, but will come
off.
Remove the impeller
from its chamber.
Rinse the impeller until
all debris has been re-
moved. Then replace
the impeller in the im-
peller chamber, put the
impeller chamber back
on and then replace the
pump’s front panel.
Remove the front of the
water pump by grabbing
the sides of the front panel
and pull it off the unit.
Pull the water pump filter
from the front panel.
Wash the filters under
running water until debris
has been removed. Then
replace the filters and
pump’s front cover.

10
Priming the Water Pump
If you find the water pump is running, but water is not flowing from your fountain,
you can try priming the water pump:
Detach the water pump from the feeder tube inside the fountain.
When removing the water pump, use caution when pulling the pump from the feeder
tube. Pinch the bottom of the feeder tube close to the pump with one hand and then
pull the water pump from the feeder tube with your other hand.
Step 1: Submerge the wa-
ter pump into the water in-
side the reservoir and lightly
shake the pump underwater
to release air bubbles in-
side the vents on the water
pump.
Step 2: Turn the fountain on
and you should see water
flowing from the pump. Let
the pump run for about ten
seconds and then turn your
fountain off.
Step 3: Reconnect the water
pump to the feeder tube in-
side the fountain.
