        Installation

      1. Level area where dam will stand and install Dam for fountain (70).
      2. Place Six Sided Base (12) in the middle of the dam and make sure that the groove faces away from the main approach of the fountain.
      3. Cement the Bottom Part (21) of the base, using wooden wedges to ensure it is level. Push hose through the Bottom Part, to extend 100mm above the top. It should also fit within the groove of the base.
      4. Place Medium Part (20) on top of base feeding hose through to extend above the top.
      5. When placing the Egg (19) the hose should only extend 25mm into hole in the Egg. The hose should be silicone sealed to the inside, to prevent backflow down inside of the fountain. The Egg can then be cemented into place.
      6. After the mix has set, the wedges can be removed and the holes can then be plastered over. The cemented joints can now be smoothed down and wrapped in wet sponge or felt as well as plastic to aid the curing process. The wrapping should be left on for 24 hours, after which the joints can be painted over.
      7. Place the Waterfall pump (903) into Dam (70).
      8. The dam can now be filled and the flow regulated.
