WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNINGS:
•Please make sure you are using the proper power source as indicated.
•To reduce risk of electric shock, connect only to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet.
•To reduce risk of electric shock, if used outdoors, install only to a covered Class A GFCI protected receptacle that is
weatherproof with the power unit connected to the receptacle. If one is not provided, contact a qualified electrician for
proper installation. Ensure that the power unit and cord do not interfere with completely closing the receptacle cover.
•To reduce risk of fire, installation involves special wiring methods to run wiring through a building structure. Consult a
qualified electrician if this transformer is intended to be mounted greater than 0.3m (1 foot) from the ground surface.
•Do not install the fountain within 10 ft. (3.05m) of a pool or spa. When the pump is connected to a GFCI-protected
circuit, the fountain unit has the option of being installed no less than 5 feet (1.52m) from a pool or spa.
•The included pump should only be used with portable, self contained fountains no larger than 5 feet (1.52m) in any
direction.
•Do not exceed the voltage shown on the pump and/or transformer.
•Inspect all power cords for damage before installation, use or maintenance. Replace entire pump or transformer if
damage is found.
•For plugs with a 3-prong, grounded type plug, do not remove the grounding pin from the plug on the power cord.
•Do not use an extension cord.
•Always disconnect the pump and/or transformer from the power source before performing any maintenance on the
pump, lights (if equipped), or fountain.
•Do not use the transformer in a bathroom.
•The fountain is not a toy! Always keep the fountain out of reach of children and pets.
CAUTIONS:
•Keep the power cord away from high temperatures, heat sources and sharp points or edge to avoid damage to cords
which may cause an electrical hazard.
•Do not lift the pump and/or transformer by its power cord.
•Do not let the pump run dry. Pump must be completely submerged for proper operation and cooling.
•Do not pump heated liquids.
•The pump has been evaluated for use with water only.
•Operate fountain with fresh water only. Avoid heavily chlorinated water and water with high pH levels.
•Do not leave the fountain running unsupervised for extended periods of time.
Note: Each fountain product may have minor variations in texture, finish and appearance. Some products and finishes are
intentionally weathered and worn in appearance to enhance the aesthetic beauty of the finished product and make each
fountain truly unique.
