2. Setup
- Inspect Components: Ensure all parts are present and undamaged. Verify the presence of the rubber gasket washer inside the nozzle's hose connection.
- Attach to Hose: Align the 3/4” NH Thread of the nozzle with the end of your standard garden hose. Screw the nozzle onto the hose clockwise until it is hand-tight. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or gasket.
- Check for Leaks: Turn on the water supply to your garden hose. Check the connection point between the nozzle and the hose for any leaks. If leaks occur, tighten slightly or ensure the rubber gasket is properly seated.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1. Selecting Spray Patterns
The nozzle offers 7 distinct spray patterns to suit various tasks. To change the pattern, simply rotate the rubberized bezel dial at the front of the nozzle until the desired pattern aligns with the indicator.
- Shower: Gentle, wide spray for watering delicate plants and flowers.
- Jet: Powerful, concentrated stream for cleaning tough dirt or reaching distant areas.
- Flat: Wide, flat spray for efficient rinsing or covering large surfaces.
- Center: Concentrated spray from the center, useful for targeted watering.
- Cone: Conical spray pattern, ideal for general watering of shrubs and bushes.
- Full: A robust, full-coverage spray for heavy watering or washing.
- Mist: Fine, gentle mist for seedlings, delicate plants, or cooling.

3.2. Water Flow Control
The flow control knob, located on the top of the nozzle, allows you to adjust the water pressure. Rotate the knob clockwise to decrease flow and counter-clockwise to increase flow. This enables precise control over the water output, from a gentle trickle to a powerful stream.

3.3. Trigger Operation and Lock
To activate water flow, simply squeeze the pistol grip front trigger. Releasing the trigger will stop the water flow. For continuous spraying without holding the trigger, push the metal loop at the bottom of the trigger forward to engage the lock. To disengage, simply squeeze the trigger again.

4. Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, especially if using with hard water or chemicals, rinse the nozzle thoroughly with clean water to prevent mineral buildup and corrosion.
- Storage: Store the nozzle in a dry, shaded area when not in use. During winter months or in freezing temperatures, disconnect the nozzle from the hose and drain any remaining water to prevent damage from freezing.
- Gasket Inspection: Periodically check the rubber gasket washer for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain a leak-free connection. Replacement gaskets are typically included with the product.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaking from connection. | Loose connection, worn or missing gasket. | Tighten the connection. Check and replace the rubber gasket if damaged or missing. |
| Low water pressure. | Flow control knob is restricted, low water supply from hose, clogged nozzle. | Adjust the flow control knob to increase flow. Check water supply. Clean any debris from the nozzle head. |
| Spray pattern is inconsistent or blocked. | Debris in the nozzle head, dial not fully rotated to a pattern. | Remove debris from the spray holes. Ensure the dial is clicked into a specific pattern. |
| Trigger is stuck or difficult to press. | Debris in the trigger mechanism, corrosion. | Rinse the trigger area thoroughly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary. |
