Product Overview
The Gilmour Heavy Duty Circular Water Sprinkler with Wheel Base is designed for efficient and precise lawn and garden watering. It features an integrated on/off switch for convenience and adjustable settings to customize the watering area.
Key Features
- Adjustable spray pattern for partial or full coverage, covering up to 5800 sq ft.
- Diffuser pin to alter spray from powerful jet to gentle rain.
- Turn dial for adjusting spray distance up to 43 feet.
- Constructed with heavy-duty brass and zinc metal for durability.
- Connection outlets to link multiple sprinklers for a larger system.
- On/off switch on the unit to control water flow without returning to the spigot.
Setup Instructions
- Unpack the Sprinkler: Carefully remove the sprinkler from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Connect to Water Source: Attach a standard garden hose to the inlet connection on the sprinkler base. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent leaks.
- Position the Sprinkler: Place the sprinkler on a level surface in the center of the area you wish to water. The wheel base allows for easy repositioning.
- Adjust Spray Pattern (Initial): Before turning on the water, familiarize yourself with the adjustment mechanisms. The top dial and diffuser pin control the spray.
Operating Instructions
- Turn on Water: Slowly turn on the water supply from your spigot.
- Activate Sprinkler: Use the on/off switch located on the sprinkler base to start the water flow through the sprinkler head.
- Adjust Spray Distance: Rotate the turn dial on the sprinkler head to increase or decrease the spray distance. The maximum distance is approximately 43 feet.
- Adjust Spray Pattern: Use the diffuser pin to change the water stream from a powerful jet for maximum distance to a gentle rain-like spray for closer, more delicate watering.
- Set Coverage Area: The sprinkler can be set for partial or full 360-degree coverage. Adjust the collars at the base of the sprinkler head to define the desired arc of rotation.
- Connecting Multiple Sprinklers: If watering a larger area, connect additional Gilmour sprinklers to the outlet connection on the base of the first sprinkler. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Turn Off: Use the on/off switch on the sprinkler base to stop the water flow before turning off the main spigot or moving the sprinkler.
Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically check the sprinkler head and nozzle for debris such as dirt, leaves, or mineral deposits. Flush with water to clear any blockages.
- Inspect Connections: Ensure all hose connections remain tight and free of leaks. Replace worn washers as needed.
- Winter Storage: Before the first freeze, disconnect the sprinkler from the hose. Drain all water from the unit to prevent freezing damage. Store the sprinkler indoors in a dry, protected area during winter months.
- Lubrication: No regular lubrication is typically required for this type of sprinkler. If rotation becomes stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing the moving parts.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Uneven spray pattern or reduced distance | Clogged nozzle, low water pressure, incorrect adjustment. | Clean the nozzle, check water pressure at the spigot, adjust the diffuser pin and distance dial. |
| Sprinkler not rotating | Low water pressure, debris in the rotating mechanism, arc adjustment collars set too wide or too narrow. | Ensure adequate water pressure, clear any debris, adjust the arc collars to allow for proper rotation. |
| Water leaking from connections | Loose hose connection, worn washer. | Tighten hose connections, replace rubber washers if they appear worn or damaged. |
| Sprinkler moves during operation | High water pressure, uneven ground. | Reduce water pressure slightly, place the sprinkler on a more level surface. |
