Setup Instructions
- Inspect Components: Ensure all parts, including the nozzle and any included rubber washers, are present and undamaged.
- Prepare Hose: Turn off the water supply to your garden hose. If the hose is already connected to another accessory, disconnect it.
- Insert Washer: Place a rubber washer firmly inside the threaded end of the hose nozzle. This helps prevent leaks.
- Attach Nozzle: Screw the threaded end of the GREEN MOUNT nozzle onto the end of your garden hose. Turn clockwise until hand-tight. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the threads or washer.
- Check for Leaks: Turn on the water supply slowly and check for any leaks at the connection point. If a leak occurs, tighten slightly or re-seat the rubber washer.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically rinse the nozzle with clean water to remove dirt, debris, or mineral deposits. For stubborn clogs in the spray holes, use a small brush or needle to clear them.
- Storage: During colder months or when not in use for extended periods, disconnect the nozzle from the hose and store it in a dry, protected area to prevent freezing and potential damage.
- Washer Replacement: If you notice persistent leaks, inspect the rubber washer at the hose connection point. Replace it if it appears worn or damaged.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaks from connection point | Loose connection, worn or missing rubber washer. | Tighten the connection. Ensure a rubber washer is properly seated. Replace the washer if damaged. |
| Low water pressure or inconsistent spray | Clogged nozzle holes, low water supply from hose. | Clean the nozzle head and spray holes. Check the water source and hose for kinks or obstructions. |
