3. Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the TRUPER PR-102 hose nozzle from its packaging.
- Inspect: Check the nozzle for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
- Connect to Hose:
- Ensure your garden hose has a standard male threaded connector.
- Screw the TRUPER PR-102 nozzle onto the end of the hose connector by turning it clockwise until it is hand-tight.
- Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or internal seals.
- Check for Leaks: Turn on the water supply slowly and check for any leaks at the connection point. If leaks occur, tighten slightly or check the hose washer for proper seating.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Water Flow Control
- To Start Flow: Squeeze the trigger handle. The water flow will begin.
- To Stop Flow: Release the trigger handle. The water flow will cease.
- Continuous Flow (if applicable): Some models may feature a clip or lock mechanism to maintain continuous flow without holding the trigger. Refer to the product image (Figure 2) which indicates "Clip para flujo continuo" (Clip for continuous flow). If present, engage the clip by pushing it forward or down while the trigger is squeezed. Disengage by pulling it back or up.
4.2 Adjusting Spray Patterns
The TRUPER PR-102 features an adjustable tip to change the spray pattern:
- Jet Spray: For a concentrated, powerful stream, twist the nozzle tip clockwise until the desired narrow stream is achieved. This is suitable for cleaning stubborn dirt or reaching distant areas.
- Shower Spray: For a wider, gentler spray, twist the nozzle tip counter-clockwise. This pattern is ideal for watering delicate plants or general rinsing.
Adjust the tip gradually to find the optimal spray pattern for your specific task.
5. Maintenance
- After Each Use: Turn off the water supply and release any remaining pressure in the hose by squeezing the trigger until water stops flowing.
- Storage: Store the nozzle in a dry, protected area, especially during freezing temperatures, to prevent damage from ice expansion.
- Cleaning: If the spray pattern becomes irregular, check the nozzle tip for mineral deposits or debris. You can clean it using a small brush or by soaking the tip in a vinegar solution to dissolve mineral buildup.
- Washer Replacement: Periodically inspect the rubber washer inside the nozzle's connection point. If it appears worn or cracked, replace it with a standard garden hose washer to prevent leaks.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaks from hose connection. | Loose connection, worn or missing washer. | Tighten connection. Inspect and replace washer if necessary. |
| Irregular or weak spray pattern. | Debris or mineral buildup in nozzle tip. | Clean the nozzle tip. Soak in vinegar if mineral deposits are present. |
| No water flow. | Water supply off, hose kinked, or nozzle completely blocked. | Ensure water supply is on. Straighten hose. Check for severe blockages in nozzle. |
