Operating Instructions

The Gardena Wall-Mounted Hose Box is designed for effortless watering with its automatic features.

  • Extending the Hose: Gently pull the hose out to the desired length. The hose will automatically lock into place at short intervals, allowing you to stop at any point without the hose retracting.
  • Swivel Function: The wall bracket allows the hose box to swivel up to 180°, providing flexibility and reach for watering different areas of your garden without kinking the hose.
  • Retracting the Hose (RollControl): To retract the hose, give it a short, firm tug. The integrated RollControl technology will then automatically and safely rewind the hose at a controlled speed, preventing tangles and damage.
  • Using the Nozzle: The included nozzle provides various spray patterns for different watering needs. Adjust the nozzle head to switch between a wide spray and a narrow stream.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Gardena Wall-Mounted Hose Box.

  • Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the exterior of the hose box with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Frost Protection: Although the hose box is frost-resistant, it is recommended to disconnect it from the water supply and drain any remaining water from the hose and unit before the first frost. For prolonged freezing temperatures, detach the hose box from its wall bracket and store it in a frost-free environment.
  • UV Protection: The materials used are UV-resistant, but storing the unit in a shaded area when not in use can further extend its lifespan.
  • Hose Inspection: Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace the hose if necessary to maintain optimal water flow and prevent leaks.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Gardena Wall-Mounted Hose Box, consider the following common solutions:

  • Hose Not Retracting: Ensure the hose is fully extended and then give it a sharp, firm tug to activate the RollControl mechanism. Check for any obstructions in the hose guide.
  • Low Water Pressure: Verify that the water tap is fully open. Check for kinks or blockages in the connecting hose or the main hose. Ensure all connections are secure.
  • Leaks: Inspect all connections (tap, connecting hose, nozzle) for tightness. Check the hose itself for any punctures or damage.
  • Hose Kinking: Ensure the hose is pulled out straight and not at extreme angles. The swivel function of the wall bracket should help minimize kinking during use.
