Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Uneven or reduced spray pattern | Blocked nozzles or insufficient water pressure. | Clean the spray nozzles (see Maintenance section). Increase water pressure if possible. |
| Water leakage at hose connection | Loose connection or damaged washer. | Ensure the hose is securely tightened. Check and replace the rubber washer if damaged. |
| Sprinkler does not stay upright | Spike not fully inserted or ground is too soft. | Push the spike deeper into the ground. If the ground is too soft, consider placing a flat stone or support around the base. |
