Maintenance

- Winter Storage: Before the first frost, disconnect the sprinkler from the hose and drain any remaining water. Store the sprinkler in a dry, frost-free location to prevent damage from freezing water.
- General Care: Avoid dropping the sprinkler or subjecting it to excessive force, as this may damage the plastic components.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Uneven or weak spray | Low water pressure, clogged nozzles, or kinked hose. | Increase water pressure at the tap. Clean nozzles using a small brush or pin. Straighten any kinks in the hose. |
| Water leaking from connection | Loose connection, worn washer, or incompatible hose fitting. | Tighten the hose connection. Check and replace the rubber washer if damaged. Ensure your hose connector is a standard fit; an adapter may be needed for non-standard hoses. |
| Sprinkler does not rotate (if applicable for pattern) or spray pattern is incorrect | Dial not set correctly, debris in mechanism, or insufficient water pressure. | Ensure the dial is firmly clicked into a pattern. Check for debris around the dial mechanism. Verify adequate water pressure. |
| Sprinkler moves or tips over during operation | Uneven ground, high water pressure, or lightweight design. | Place the sprinkler on a flat, stable surface. Reduce water pressure if it's causing instability. The sprinkler is lightweight; ensure it's placed securely. |
