11. Retrieve Conduit and Extension Pipes

Use pipes for double- and triple-level gardens. Retain unused pipes for future extensions.

12. Install Water Conduit and Water Tray

1. Place the water conduit into the two circular holes on the left side of the metal tray. Verify that the water conduit is positioned above the holes in the water tank.
2. Ensure that the bottom of the water tray is dry, then return the water tray to the metal tray.

Note that the water tray tubes slot into the water conduit.

   Place the power supply outside of the cabinet, vent-side-up, in an area with unrestricted airflow.

IMPORTANT!

Do not plug the power supply into the wall yet! Powering on a dry garden may damage the pump.

27. Tip-prevention Kit (optional)

• If you’re concerned about the garden tipping because of children or pets, attach a tip-preventing kit.
• A kit with two straps is provided to secure the garden to residential wall studs.
• To use the kits, loop the metal cable around each rear upright, just under the top shelf.
• Position the garden such that the cable is not loose.
• If a stud is not accessible, use 4x anchors appropriate to your wall material and rated for at least 251bs.

28. Water Dampener

• A foam water dampener is provided with each extension hardware kit in order to reduce splashing.
• Single-level gardens do not require a water dampener. Double-level gardens use one dampener, and triple-level gardens use two.
• Each water dampener inserts into the gap between the plumbing adapter and the extension pipe. The wall of extension pipe rests within the slit on water dampener.
• Each water dampener is intended to fall out in the event of excess water flow or pressure. If it is falling out prematurely, try pushing the water dampener slightly further in.

29. Powering on

• Fill the water tank about halfway.
• Connect the power supply to a power source, and flip the power switch on the power supply. Always turn off the power supply before plugging or unplugging any electronics.
• The lights should turn off,  and the pump should start running. If the pump does not run, ensure it is connected, then press and hold the cabinet door display button for 5 seconds to toggle the pump.
• The control box should have a solid red light, indicating it is ready to connect via the Rise Gardens App.
• Monitor the garden for a few minutes to ensure there are no leaks.
• Check out our quick-start guide to get growing!
