Excessive weight or pressure on any of the fountain bowls or other sections may cause it to fall.
*** PLEASE KEEP PETS, CHILDREN OR ANYONE FROM SITTING, LEANING OR

A fountain assembly sheet, fittings as well as tubing is included for each fountain type. Contact your dealer if you did not receive all necessary pieces. Copies of assembly sheet are available under assembly instructions.
All fountains can have some amount of over splash regardless of style or design. Placement location of any fountain is the sole responsibility and liability of the purchaser.
BASIN FOUNTAINS - If the fountain is to be installed on a hard surface, such as concrete, tile, etc., a thin layer of sand. half inch (1/2") to one inch (1"), must be supplied over the surface. This will reduce the risk of stress cracks to the basin and help with leveling. Sand is not required on a soil surface although it does help to level the basin when installing.
PEDESTAL STYLE FOUNTAINS - Place pedestal/base style fountains on a firm, level foundation. If the fountain or statue is to be placed on dirt, a 24" concrete stepping stone is recommended to avoid erosion. Most pedestals are hollow inside and splash, rain and/or sprinklers may wash away dirt and cause your fountain or statue to tumble.
Most fountains have no interlocking parts, they are held together by gravity only. Gluing or cementing parts together is not recommended. You may want to dismantle the parts to service your fountain or move it.
