Operation and Performance I = ON When the switch is set to the ‘I’ this is the “on” mode. If you want your fountain to work during the day use this setting. The sun will run the pump when the solar panel is in direct sun, and when a cloud passes then the battery will automatically activate to keep the pump running consistently throughout the day. When the sun goes down in the evening the battery will keep the pump running as long as it can until it is depleted.

Troubleshooting for 2-Tier Fountains  CORRECT ASSEMBLY AND PERFORMANCE: • Switch set to ‘I’ (on) to run pump when in direct sun or after charging the battery with switch set to ‘O’ (off) for 1-2 days in direct sun. • Tube is inserted into bottom of panel so water will come out through the tube and the panel does not lift out or fall out. • Foam disc seals the hole so the top tier fills up and overflows. • Plugs have red orings covered to make a water tight connection.

Troubleshooting for 2-Tier Fountains  ISSUE: “Loud noise and not pumping water up”  ISSUE: “Pump is not running at all.” HOW TO FIX IT: • The pump is not submerged and is running dry. Ensure you have 2 tubes that are two inches long each in between the pump and panel. If you only have 1 tube the pump will be up close to the foam disc and is too high inside the top tier so it’s running dry. Install 2nd tube to lower the pump. If it’s missing contact customer service for a tube.
