Installation
- Two people will be needed to lift the fountain the required height, and hold into
position.
- The fountain is to be held until the lion head is at eye level.
- The third person will be required to drill a hole in the wall with a masonary
drill bit.
- A single rawlbolt is then to be inserted in the center hole of fountain, which in
turn will prevent the fountain from falling if let go.
(Tighten the rawlbolts slightly, but not too tight to prevent the fountain from
cracking due to stress if the wall is not straight and level with the fountain).
- Take the spirit level and place it on to the rim of the bowl, and then proceed to
level out the fountain, in order to insert the other rawlbolts.
- Once the fountain is level, drill the remaining two holes and insert the rawlbolts, remembering not too tighten too much as above.
- Place the pump of the fountain in the bowl.
- We recommend a 6mm drill bit be used to drill a hole in the bowl of the fountain
for the electrical cord to be let out, this exit can be sealed with silicone to
prevent leakage, (the electrical cable can also be let out over the side of the
bowl but this is not very attractive to look at!).
- The plug can then be attached to the electrical cable and inserted into the
electrical outlet.
- If the need arises for the cord to be lengthened due to the electrical outlet been
a distance from the water feature, we advise that an electrician be consulted to
do the job to avoid further complications or accidents.
- The plug point should not be underneath the water feature, to avoid an electrical
shock, should the water splash over the bowl and onto the electrical outlet, should
the electrical oulet be a waterproof one this precaution is not necessary.
- After the silicone has dried, a hose or bucket can be used to fill the bowl of the
fountain with water, the pump can then be switched on.
- The spout of the fountain should then be observed and can then be bent and fine
tuned so that the water flows to owner's desire.
