FOUNTAIN CLEANING Filters: Change every 2 to 4 weeks 1) Filters should be changed every two to four weeks. Replace the filters more frequently when using the fountain for multiple pets or pets that produce a lot of saliva. 2) Filters are an added feature of the fountain. Their use is not required for normal operation, but will keep the fountain water cleaner. 3) Filters may be rinsed out when the fountain is cleaned. Never wash the filter with soapy water, you will not be able to remove the soap residue.
7) Motor Removal & Cleaning a) Turn the bowl over and unlock the motor from its cavity by slipping your finger into the indentation behind the motor and pulling that end of the motor out toward you, so that it has turned a quarter of a turn (See Fig. 6). Do not attempt to remove motor without turning it 90 degrees, this may damage the fountain and cause a leak. b) Now that the motor is unlocked, remove it from the fountain. If you find this difficult, you can push the motor out from the bowl side.
FOUNTAIN REASSEMBLY 1) Turn the bowl upside down. Reattach the motor by pushing the threads of the motor through the hole in the bowl. The motor goes in at a right angle to the bowl (Fig. 8a). If you cannot turn the motor into its resting position (Fig. 8b), the motor is not pushed into the hole as far as it will go. Fig. 8a Fig. 8b 2) After turning the motor a quarter turn, it should now be even with the bottom of the bowl (Fig. 8b). Turn the bowl back over.
