      Thank-you for purchasing a Gardens of Italy quality product. We would like to make installation as easy as possible for you with this installtion pamphlet, so that you can enjoy this magnificent water feature in your own setting.

      Installation:

    1. Level area where Repina platform (24) must stand. Install the Repina platform (24), the conduit as well as the pump's electrical connection. Leave 500mm slack on electrical cable and seal both ends of conduit with silicone sealant.
    2. Cement Repina base (25) into place, after removing the Base cover (26). Make sure the hole in the base faces away from the main approach to the fountain.
    3. Cement the Repina Bowl Large (23) onto the Repina Base (25), and level it with the wedges. Use two lengths of hose - 2m in length for inlet. - 420mm in length for outlet. Install the outlet hose to extend 20mm above the bottom of the bowl. Seal the hose to the hole in the bowl with silicone. Install the inlet hose to extend 1,5m above he bottom of the bowl. Also seal this hose to the second hole with silicone. Leave to dry for 24 hours. It is extremely important that no water leaks out of the bottom of the bowl.
    4. Now the Repina Elevator Large (28) can be installed, using the wooden wedges to compensate for the curve of the bowl. They should also be used to level the elevator as it won't be cemented. The inlet hose must also be pushed through the hole in the elevator. It is important to note that the spacers also elevate the elevator to facilitate water flow to the outlet hose.
    5. Push the hose through the Repina pillar (29) and cement it to the elevator. Wedges can be used to ensure it is level.
    6. Repeat step 5 for Repina Bowl (small) (30) and Repina elevator (small) (33).
    7. When installing the putto (small or large) ensure that the inlet hose only extends one third into the statue. Any excess should be cut off. Silicone seal the hose to he inside of the Repina Putto (32) and cement the putto into place.
    8. Place the two Repina Arc Lips (27) on the rim of the Repina Bowl large (23) and cement the joints together.
    9. After the cemented joints have set all the wedges can be removed, and the holes plastered over. All the joints can now be smoothed off and wrapped in wet sponge or felt, as well as plastic to aid the curing process. This wrapping should be left for 24 hours, after which the joints can be painted over.
    10. Connect the inlet and outlet hose to the Waterfall pump (903). The pump must have at least a 2m head. If the veil like flow is required from the small bowl material drip flanges can be affixed to the rim.
