Package Contents
Verify that all components are present before beginning setup:
- 1 x GILMOUR Heavy Duty Circular Water Sprinkler with Base
Note: Hoses and other watering accessories are sold separately.
Setup Instructions
- Position the Sprinkler: Place the sprinkler on a flat, stable surface in the area you wish to water.
- Connect the Hose: Attach your garden hose to the inlet connection on the side of the sprinkler base. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent leaks.
- Secure Connection: Hand-tighten the hose connection. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the threads.
Operating Instructions
The GILMOUR Circular Water Sprinkler offers several adjustable features for precise watering.
1. Adjusting Spray Pattern (Partial or Full Coverage)
The sprinkler allows you to set the watering area from a partial arc to a full 360-degree circle.
- For Partial Coverage: Adjust the two metal clips on the sprinkler head to define the desired arc. The sprinkler will oscillate between these two points.
- For Full 360-Degree Coverage: Pull up the collar located at the base of the sprinkler head. This disengages the oscillation mechanism, allowing for continuous circular rotation.
2. Adjusting Spray Distance
The sprinkler features a dial to control the spray distance, up to 43 feet.
- Rotate the dial on the top of the sprinkler head to increase or decrease the water stream's reach. Turn towards 'MAX' for longer distances and 'MIN' for shorter distances.
3. Diffuser Pin Function
The diffuser pin allows you to change the water spray from a powerful jet to a gentle rain-like pattern.
- Push the diffuser pin into the water stream for a softer, wider spray. Pull it out for a more concentrated, powerful jet.
4. On/Off Switch
An integrated on/off switch on the base allows you to control water flow directly at the sprinkler, eliminating trips to the spigot.
- Flip the switch to the 'ON' position to start water flow.
- Flip the switch to the 'OFF' position to stop water flow.
5. Connecting Multiple Sprinklers
The sprinkler features connection outlets to create a DIY sprinkler system.
- To connect multiple sprinklers, attach an additional hose to the secondary outlet on the sprinkler base and connect it to another sprinkler.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically check the sprinkler head and nozzle for debris or mineral buildup. Clean with a soft brush and water if necessary.
- Winterization: Before the first freeze, disconnect the sprinkler from the hose, drain all water, and store it in a dry, protected area to prevent freeze damage.
- Storage: Store the sprinkler in a cool, dry place when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sprinkler tips over during operation | Lightweight base; high water pressure | Place a heavy object (e.g., a brick or rock) on the base to stabilize it, especially with high water pressure. |
| Uneven or weak spray pattern | Low water pressure; clogged nozzle; diffuser pin position | Ensure adequate water pressure. Check and clean the nozzle for any obstructions. Adjust the diffuser pin. |
| Sprinkler not rotating or oscillating correctly | Obstruction in the mechanism; low water pressure; incorrect pattern setting | Check for debris around the rotating parts. Ensure sufficient water pressure. Verify the partial/full coverage setting is correctly engaged or disengaged. |
| Leaks at hose connection | Loose connection; worn washer | Tighten the hose connection. Replace the rubber washer inside the hose coupling if it is worn or damaged. |
