3. OVERVIEW
The Solar Copper Birdbath Fountain has been designed for outdoor
use. The pump derives its power directly from the integral solar
module. In order for the pump to operate, the solar module needs
to be placed in direct sunlight. The performance of the pump
depends on the season and the position of the Copper Birdbath
Fountain solar module.
4. COMPONENTS
Warning:
If you are away from home for more than 2-3 days remove the
solar pump unit. The pump must never be operated dry (out of
water). Dry operation permanently damages the pump. Please
ensure you top-up the water level in the Solar Copper Birdbath
Fountain regularly, particularly in hot weather.
Stablising your birdbath:
In order to ensure your birdbath remains stable, we recommend
you fill the base (item 4 in components) with rocks and/or sand
before fitting the birdbath stand.

5. ASSEMBLING AND
USING YOUR PRODUCT
Unpack all components carefully.
Decide on a suitable location.
Please note:
There will be water splashes when the product is in use. Make sure
that the surface on which you are placing the Solar Copper
Birdbath Fountain will not be affected.
Attach the top part of the fountain onto the bottom part. Place the
solar pump unit over the central hole in main bowl of the fountain
and fill with water.
Please note:
We recommend you use distilled or rain water to prevent scale
building up.
The Solar Copper Birdbath Fountain is now ready to operate.
Please note:
On first use, there may be air in the pump. It can take up to 5
minutes until the air escapes.
6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
If after time the pump starts to lose power or stops working you
should check for the build up of sediment or scale in the bottom of
the pump housing. Carefully remove the solar pump unit and turn
it upside down on a soft surface. Dry the solar pump connector
and disconnect.
Remove the pump from the plastic unit and open the pump
housing at its base. Remove the impeller and remove any dirt or
scale which has built up and close.
Put the unit together in reverse order.
Please note:
Make sure the underwater connector is absolutely dry before you
reconnect it. To ensure the seal remains water-tight you must twist
the solar pump connector plugs together rather than merely
pressing together.
We recommend you clean the main bowl of the birdbath regularly.
The Solar module should only be cleaned with soft tissue and
proprietary glass cleaning solution.
