2. Prepare unit for installation in pond

a. The unit ships with the Water

Lilly nozzle installed. Refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3 for spray pattern appearance. To change to one of

the other 2 nozzles, remove the 4 screws with a 5/16” nut driver or flat screwdriver and replace with desired nozzle. Nozzles are marked “This side up”. Make sure o-ring is seated in groove before installing nozzle. Tighten screws until seated, approximately 10 to 12 in-lbs.

b. If installing the optional “Night

Bright” lighting system, follow instructions included with light system for proper installation.

c. Determine length and proper

size of cable per Wire Size Table

1. Splice additional cable up to 250 feet total cable length using included heat shrink splice kit. DO NOT EXCEED maximum cable length or use smaller cable than specified as system damage may occur.

Never enter the water either

wading, swimming or in a boat with the pump power on, as this may result in severe electrical shock.

1. Only install this system in ponds where no swimming, wading, boating or fishing is allowed while system is operating. Disconnect power to pump before fishing or entering the water.

2. Post appropriate warning signs per local and state codes.

3. Install fountain in pond. (See Fig 4 for typical installation).

a. Prior to installation, measure

water depth. All fountains require 5 ft minimum water depth for proper operation.

b. Position anchor weights or

mooring stakes 180° apart and equidistant from desired fountain location. Attach nylon anchor/ mooring ropes to weights or stakes then attach to 2 eyebolts located at top of fountain screen. Make sure to leave only enough slack in rope to accommodate anticipated water level fluctuations.
