Operating Instructions
The GRÜNTEK Mini Lawn Sprinkler offers multiple adjustment options for precise watering.
Adjusting Spray Area and Width:
- The sprinkler head features adjustable levers on both sides. Slide these levers to set the desired length and width of the spray pattern.
- Adjusting the levers inward will narrow the spray, while moving them outward will widen it.
- The oscillating motion can be adjusted to cover specific rectangular or square areas.
360-Degree Rotation:
- The entire sprinkler head can swivel 360 degrees on its base. This allows for directing the spray in any direction, making it suitable for angled or irregular lawn patches.
- To adjust the rotation, gently turn the sprinkler head on its base to the desired orientation.
Water Jet Strength:
- The water jet strength can be adjusted directly on the sprinkler, often via a flow control valve or by adjusting the water pressure from your tap.

- Winter Storage: Before freezing temperatures, disconnect the sprinkler from the hose and drain all water. Store the sprinkler in a dry, frost-free location to prevent damage.
- General Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the sprinkler with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt and grime.
