OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT RUN DRY INDOOR HOUSEHOLD USE OR SEASONAL OUTDOOR USE Fountain will come fully assembled and ready for use. Rinse fountain and reservoirs before using. 1) As with any electrical device, check the electrical cord for any tears, or damage before use. 2) Make sure the low-voltage power adaptor is tightly connected to the pump’s electrical cord and that the threaded locking collar is tightened completely, see Figures 1a & 1b. Fig. 1a Fig.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4) 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). Fig. 4 When placing the fountain Indoors, be sure to protect your floors from spills and splashes that can be caused by your pet.
FOUNTAIN DISASSEMBLY & CLEANING FILTER SYSTEM The fountain is equipped with two types of filters, both of which should be replaced on a regular basis. Replace filters more frequently when using the fountain for multiple pets or pets that produce a lot of saliva. A 3-layer charcoal filter removes bad tastes and odors, keeping water fresh. A foam filter collects hair and debris and prevents it from reaching the pump, providing optimal filtration.
FOUNTAIN DISASSEMBLY & CLEANING 4) Remove the housing by gently pressing on each side of the housing where it locks into the bowl. Lift the housing straight up and set aside for cleaning, see Figure 6. Fig. 6 5) Remove the T-Tube and Outflow Tube from the bottom of the housing and disassemble into two separate pieces, see Figures 7a and 7b. Fig. 7a Fig. 7b 6) Next, remove the foam filter and rinse thoroughly in fresh water if you plan on reusing the filter after cleaning.
FOUNTAIN DISASSEMBLY & CLEANING 8) The fountain should now be completely disassembled for proper cleaning. Wash the fountain parts with soap and warm water and rinse thoroughly. If placing the fountain parts inside the dishwasher, we recommend the top rack and/or silverware holder. If possible, turn down the temperature of the water inside the dishwasher. The pump and reservoirs are not dishwasher safe, hand wash only.
PUMP MAINTENANCE 1) Remove the faceplate from the pump by inserting a fingernail or other slim object, into the seam and pull straight out (see Figure 9). Fig. 9 Fig. 10 2) Once the faceplate is removed, the yellow dial that controls the water flow intensity will become free. Place the faceplate and flow control dial to the side for cleaning. 3) Next, remove the stator by positioning your fingernail or other slim object underneath the tab and pull up, see Figure 10 above.
FOUNTAIN REASSEMBLY 1) Check the flow control dial make sure the dial is positioned at the desired flow rate. When the yellow tab is closest to the “+” sign, the pump is set at maximum flow. When the yellow tab is closest to the “-” sign, the pump is set at its lowest flow (see images below). MIN FLOW MAX FLOW 2) Replace the pump between the two posts on the bottom of the bowl with the suction cups face down. Feed the electrical cord through the opening on the inside of the bowl.
FOUNTAIN REASSEMBLY 6) If the housing lid was removed during cleaning, replace and then proceed to the next step. 7) Replace the housing by lining up the locking tabs with the openings on the top of the bowl; gently push down until you hear the tabs lock in place. 8) Next, replace the two pre-filters by simply sliding into place with the raised lip facing out. 9) Fill both of the reservoirs with water and replace the reservoir caps, make sure they are tightened all the way.

Some pets may take several days or longer to begin use, while others will start right away. 2) Your pet may prefer that the fountain be placed away from their normal feeding area.
