5. Set the fountain top onto the base so it sits level.
6. Attach the A/C adaptor jack to the base power cord. DO NOT plug into outlet at this
time (Fig. 1).
7. Set the fountain on a level, waterproof surface.
8. Plug the cord into 120V household outlet. The fountain is controlled by the switch
located on the power cord. If pump doesn't operate, rotate in-line switch once to turn
"on" and once more to turn "off". Monthly maintenance will add to your pump's life.
NOTE: Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the electrical outlet to form a 'Drip
Loop' (Fig. 4). This will prevent water from running down the cord into the electrical
outlet.
9. Arrange the rocks provided around the base of the candles. (If splashing occurs,
rearrange rocks until their is no more splashing).
