Fill the bowl with water just over the triangle shaped shelf on either
side of the bowl. This is the height that the reservoirs will maintain
the water level at, which provides a ‘splash guard’ to help keep
water inside the bowl. Open the lid and fill the housing with water,
this will prime the pump. Close the lid.
Fill both reservoirs and place behind the housing into the circular
openings. The reservoir is designed to fit in any direction. Place
the reservoir so that the fill-line indicator is in plain view. This will
help you monitor the water level in your fountain and let you know
when to refill the reservoirs.
When placing the fountain Indoors, be sure to protect your floors from spills and splashes that
can be caused by your pet. If placing on carpet, tile or wood - always use a protective mat.
When placing the fountain Outdoors, be sure the fountain is placed on a level surface. It is
best to put the fountain in a covered location and out of direct sunlight if possible. By keeping the
fountain in a shady spot, the water will stay cooler for your pet. It is essential that you monitor the
water level and cleanliness of the fountain to prevent damage to the unit and maintain the best
possible water conditions for your pets.

IMPORTANT:
Fountain is very heavy when full of water, never attempt to lift the fountain while it is full.
Before you plug the fountain into an electrical outlet, make sure
your hands, the adaptor and the cord are dry. Plug the fountain in. 7)
Place the fountain in a desired location. The Outdoor Dog
Fountain is intended for year-round indoor household use or
seasonal outdoor use. Never operate the fountain in temperatures
below 40° F / 4.4° C. Be sure the electrical cord comes out
through the cord notch at the back of the fountain, so that it sits
level on the floor (See Figure 4). 4)
IMPORTANT: If using an extension cord, be sure it is not damaged nor has any exposed wires and
that it is a properly rated power cord, for either indoor or outdoor use depending on the placement
of the fountain. If your pet is prone to chewing, be sure to protect the extension cord from your pet
with a power cord protector, available in many forms at most hardware stores.
