Operating Instructions
The Garden Enforcer offers both motion-activated deterrence and timed watering capabilities.
Motion-Activated Deterrence
The heat and motion-activated sensor triggers a burst of water when movement is detected within its range. This feature is effective for deterring animals from specific areas.
- Adjusting Sensitivity and Range: Use the "RANGE" dial on the sensor unit to adjust the detection distance.
- Day/Night/Always Mode: Use the "DAY/NIGHT/ALWAYS" dial to select when the sensor is active.
- DAY: Sensor active during daylight hours.
- NIGHT: Sensor active during nighttime hours.
- ALWAYS: Sensor active 24 hours a day.
- Spray Duration: The "DURATION" dial controls how long the water sprays after activation.

- Flow-Through Outlet: The unique flow-through outlet allows you to connect additional sprinklers, extending your watering or deterrence coverage.
Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the unit's performance diminishes or the indicator light (if present) signals low battery.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth to ensure optimal detection. Remove any debris from the sprinkler head to maintain proper water flow.
- Winterization: Before freezing temperatures, disconnect the unit from the water source, drain all water, and store it indoors to prevent damage.
