SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
All safety instructions in this manual should be observed at all times!
This manual contains basic instructions which must be observed during installation and operation of solar showers. Non-compliance may result not only in a health hazard
but also a threat to the environment and the equipment itself.
Garden solar shower is designed only for outdoor showering of people with water. When using it for other purposes or in rebuilding, which was not authorized by the
manufacturer, the manufacturer disclaims all liability for damages and all warranty claims are abolished.
For hygiene reasons drain water from solar shower before or after a long period of disuse. See Maintenance and winterizing. If the water in the shower is not replaced
regularly, microorganisms can grow causing health problems.
The device must not be used by people who are not familiar with the operation of solar shower in the scope of this guide.
With regard to the temperature of water inside the body of the shower, which may reach 60 to 70°C, it is recommended at first to turn the valve lever to the right by its
deflection away from the shower body and turn on cold water and only after that mix the water to the desired temperature by turning the valve lever to the left. This
prevents unwanted showering with overheated water!
After a certain period of shower inactivity, even a small amount of water in the supply hose to the tap can be warmed up. For safe use it is necessary to
release some water (approx. 3 seconds).

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Place the solar shower in a location with plenty of sunshine and nearby the water system. Mount it perpendicular
to the firm and level surface,
preferably with dowels onto concrete or ceramic tiles, or with special nails deep into the earth. See FIGURE 1
Screw the arm with shower head to the shower valves outlet on the front part of the shower column.
There is the screw joint for shower fittings (1/2 „) in the lower rear part of the shower column; for easy connection
to the water supply device a hose quick coupler is supplied. Connect to it the still unactuated external water
supply. After connecting the water pipes to the body of the shower, open the water inlet.
Do not remove or modify the standard screw inlet fittings on the shower. It should be noted that the connection
of inlet fittings and shower body is made of plastic. Therefore, use a reasonable force when connecting the water
mains and hand tighten, whenever appropriate. Use only standardized, approved and undamaged plumbing
mounting hardware for connecting solar shower fittings to the water mains or domestic water supply plant.
After connecting the solar shower to the water supply, fill the tube of the shower water and make it bleed. Open
the water supply valve to the solar shower and at the same time put the shower to the "open" hot position using the
control lever. Leave it fully open until water starts flowing to the „closed" position. Solar shower is ready for operation.
Finally, check the leak tightness of fitting joints.
