        Installation

      1. Level and compact a piece of ground 1m in diameter.
      2. Place Fontana Di Nasso Base (617) on compacted level area or in Dam. Please refer to installation of Dam Monaco (16-parts) or refer to installation of Dam Arcara 16-parts (Plain Coping) or refer to installation of Dam Gerona (16-piece)
      3. Drill a hole through Fontana Di Nasso Bowl (615) for pump wire.
      4. Place Fontana Di Nasso Bowl (615) ontop of Base (617).
      5. Place the Pumphousing Di Nasso (625) ontop of Fontana Di Nasso Bowl and level with wooden wedges.
      6. Place the Base Impero (691) ontop of Pumphousing (625). Level with wooden wedges.
      7. Feed hosepipe through hole in Base Impero (691).
      8. Slide Di Nasso Bowl (772) over hosepipe onto Base Impero. Level with wooden wedges.
      9. The four pipes coming out from the lion heads must be joined together using two of the T-joints. Once joined, connect the two pipes from there. You should be left with one pipe from the lion heads and one pipe from the top. Connect individual pumps to each pipe, and position in Base (Make sure hosepipe is not bent, otherwise it will interrupt water flow).
      10. Slide Vitinia Top (171) over hosepipe onto Di Nasso Bowl (772). Level with wooden wedges.
      11. Cut off excess hosepipe and seal off with silicone sealant to prevent backflow.
      12. Place the Fontana Di Nasso Base Cover (616) into recess.
      13. Feed pump wire through Di Nasso Bowl into Di Nasso Base.
      14. Ensure electrical connections are correctly waterproofed with silicone sealant - consult an electrician for advice.
      15. Wait 24hrs to let sealant set before using the fountain. Fill water into fountain and switch on pump. Observe cascading of water. Move wedges until water flows evenly from all sides. Switch off pump and remove water from fountain.
      16. Put cement in between wedges. When cement is dry, remove wedges and fill void.
      17. Paint over cement using antique method.
      18. Fill with water - now ready to use.
      19. NOTE: (Option A) This fountain can be installed as stand alone, using 2x903 Waterfall 1500 Pumps or (Option B) as for use in a dam, using 2x475 Waterfall Pumps 4800.
