4. Operation
Once the sprinkler is set up, you can begin watering and adjust its settings:
- Turn on Water: Slowly turn on the water supply from your faucet. Observe the sprinkler's operation.
- Adjust Spray Width and Range: The sprinkler features a red adjustment knob (visible in Figure 1) and side levers (if present, not explicitly shown but implied by "fine adjustment of watering width") to control the spray pattern.
- Rotate the red knob to adjust the oscillation angle, thereby controlling the length of the watered area (range).
- Use any side levers or sliders (if applicable to your model) to fine-tune the width of the spray pattern.
- Monitor Coverage: Periodically check the watered area to ensure even coverage and make any necessary adjustments.
- Turn off Water: When watering is complete, turn off the water supply at the faucet before disconnecting the hose.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life of your sprinkler:
- Nozzle Cleaning: The 16 rubber nozzles are designed to resist clogging. However, if a nozzle becomes blocked, gently clear it using a small pin or the integrated cleaning tool (if provided, see Figure 3 for a potential cleaning tool).

- Winter Storage: Before the first frost, drain all water from the sprinkler and store it in a dry, frost-free location to prevent damage.
- General Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the sprinkler with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use harsh chemicals.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your sprinkler, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Uneven Spray Pattern:
- Check for clogged nozzles and clear them as described in the Maintenance section.
- Ensure adequate water pressure from your supply. Low pressure can affect the spray pattern.
- Leaks at Hose Connection:
- Tighten the hose connection.
- Check the rubber washer inside the hose connector for damage or proper seating. Replace if necessary.
- Sprinkler Not Oscillating:
- Ensure sufficient water pressure.
