Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly connect your Gilmour hose nozzle to a standard garden hose:
- Prepare the Hose: Ensure your garden hose is free of kinks and the end is clean.
- Attach the Nozzle: Align the Swivel Connect™ coupling of the nozzle with the threaded end of your garden hose.
- Tighten Connection: Turn the coupling clockwise until it is hand-tight. The Swivel Connect™ design allows the nozzle to pivot without twisting the hose, reducing kinks. Do not overtighten.
- Check for Leaks: Turn on the water supply slowly and check for any leaks at the connection point. If a leak occurs, tighten slightly more or check the hose washer.

Operating Instructions
The Gilmour nozzle offers intuitive controls for various watering tasks:
- Activating Water Flow: Squeeze the front control trigger to begin water flow. The amount of pressure applied to the trigger will control the water volume.
- Continuous Flow Lock: For continuous watering without holding the trigger, push the small lever located near the trigger forward to engage the lock. To disengage, simply squeeze the trigger again.
- Adjusting Spray Patterns: The nozzle features 8 pre-set spray patterns. To change the pattern, rotate the head of the nozzle clockwise or counter-clockwise until the desired pattern clicks into place. The patterns are clearly marked on the nozzle head.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Gilmour hose nozzle:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the nozzle head to remove any mineral deposits or debris that may affect spray patterns. A soft brush and mild soap can be used. Rinse thoroughly.
- Storage: Store the nozzle in a dry, protected area when not in use, especially during freezing temperatures. Disconnect it from the hose to prevent water from freezing inside.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the nozzle for any signs of wear or damage, particularly the connection points and the spray head. The heavy-duty metal water passage is designed for durability.
Troubleshooting
