The Hampton Bay Olympus 2-Tier Fountain (Model 10141) is designed for outdoor decorative use. Before assembly, ensure you have a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) electrical outlet available. Assemble the unit on a soft, non-abrasive surface like carpet or cardboard to prevent damage. Always ensure the pump is fully submerged in water before turning it on to prevent damage.
Safety Information
- Electrical Safety: Always disconnect the power supply before working on the fountain. Use only a UL-approved extension cord. Connect only to a grounded 120V-60Hz outdoor outlet.
- Drip Loop: Allow the pump power cord to hang at a lower level than the wall outlet to form a drip loop, preventing water from entering the outlet.
- Usage Warnings: Do not use for commercial purposes. Keep children and pets away from the fountain. Do not drink the water.
- Damage Prevention: Do not operate the pump if it has been dropped or has a damaged cord. Do not place heavy items on the bowl edges.
Assembly
- Installing the pump: Place the pump (F) in the center of the large bowl (B). Thread the electrical cord through the large bowl and into the base (A), positioning it through the groove on the bottom.
- Connecting base and large bowl: Insert the bottom of the large bowl (B) into the base (A) and lock them together. Ensure the pump sits level.
- Connecting small bowl and base: Insert the small base (C) into the large bowl (B) and lock. Then, insert the small bowl (D) into the small base (C) and lock.
- Installing the finial: Thread the hose of the finial (E) into the small bowl (D) and pull it through the opening in the small base (C). Lock the finial (E) to the small bowl (D) and connect the hose to the pump (F).
- Attaching the back cover: Assemble the back cover (G) to the back of the small base (C) and close it.
- Adding water: Fill the large bowl (B) with water, stopping 2 inches below the rim. Check for leaks while filling.
Operation
Plug the electrical cord into a GFCI outlet. Water should begin to flow after a few moments.
Maintenance and Cleaning
- Winter Storage: Store the fountain indoors during the winter months.
- Cleaning: Keep water clean by changing it periodically. Clean the water basin with a damp cloth and clean the pump's outlet nozzle.
- Pump Care: Ensure the pump hose is free from dirt and debris and that the pump remains completely immersed in water.
