This document is a "USE AND CARE GUIDE" for a "Tiered Fountain" manufactured by "enchanted garden" with Model # 277-5539. It provides detailed instructions for assembly, usage, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the fountain.
Function Description:
The device is a tiered fountain designed for decorative purposes, likely for outdoor use given the nature of fountains. It circulates water through multiple tiers, creating a visually appealing and soothing water feature. The fountain operates with a pump that draws water from a reservoir and pushes it upwards to cascade down through the tiers.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Model Number: 277-5539
- Type: Tiered Fountain
- Manufacturer: enchanted garden
- Pump: The fountain utilizes a pump for water circulation. The pump has a flow rate control dial, allowing users to adjust the water flow.
- Power: The pump requires an electrical power source, as indicated by instructions to "plug the pump to the socket" and "check the circuit breaker."
- Components: The fountain consists of three main parts:
- Part A: The top tier/finial.
- Part B: The middle basin and pedestal.
- Part C: The base pedestal.
Usage Features:
- Assembly: The guide provides a step-by-step assembly process:
- Screw part C to part B, ensuring arrows match (Diagram 1).
- Place the fountain on an even surface to ensure proper water flow (Diagram 2).
- Place the pump into part B and pull the pump wire out of the pipe (Diagram 3a).
- Connect the pump to the water pipe, ensuring the pipe is straight and not twisted (Diagram 3b).
- Screw part A to part B and tighten two bolts. Apply the door to the fountain (Diagram 4a, 4b).
- Fill the fountain with enough water to fully submerge the pump, then plug it into a socket to start water flow (Diagram 4c, 4d).
- Water Level: It is crucial to always ensure the pump is completely submerged in water to prevent damage.
- Flow Rate Adjustment: The pump features a flow rate control dial. Users can adjust the flow rate by moving the switch towards '+/ Max' to increase or '-/Min' to decrease, allowing customization of the water effect and minimization of splashing.
- Placement: The fountain should be placed in an appropriate location where any inevitable water splashing will not cause damage.
- Safety:
- Keep pets, children, or anyone from sitting, leaning, or climbing on the fountain components to prevent it from falling.
- Always turn off the power before checking or performing any maintenance on the pump.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning:
- Regularly clean the fountain with a soft cloth.
- Change the water frequently.
- To prevent mineral buildup (white residue from water evaporation), regularly clean the fountain with mild soap and water.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the applied finish.
- Keep the fountain working with sufficient water and free of debris and dirt to ensure proper pump functioning.
- Check the pump discharge and intake for dirt and debris during troubleshooting.
- Pump Care: Refer to the separate pump instructions for specific pump safety, maintenance, and warranty information.
- Water Treatment: The guide explicitly warns against using water clarifier or algaecide of any kind, as these will damage the paint on the fountain and void the manufacturer's warranty.
- Troubleshooting (If pump does not run):
- Check the circuit breaker and try another outlet.
- Verify the water level; insufficient water can damage the pump.
- Adjust the flow control setting on the pump.
- Check pump discharge and intake for dirt/debris.
- Inspect fountain tubing for kinks or obstructions.
- Address "airlocked" pump by plugging and unplugging it several times.
- Check and reconnect all cords.
- Open the door (if applicable) to ensure the water pipe is not twisted, which can prevent water flow.
The guide emphasizes the importance of reading all instructions carefully and keeping the fountain power off until assembly is complete. It also advises keeping the manual for future reference.
