Setup

1. Inspect Gasket: Ensure the rubber seal gasket is properly seated within the 3/4” GHT connector at the base of the watering wand. This gasket is crucial for preventing leaks.
2. Attach to Hose: Screw the watering wand onto any standard garden hose by turning it clockwise until it is hand-tight. Do not overtighten.
3. Check for Leaks: Turn on the water supply to your garden hose. Check for any leaks at the connection point. If leaks occur, tighten slightly or re-seat the gasket.

Operating Instructions

Thumb Flow Control

The RESTMO watering wand features an intuitive thumb control for managing water flow. To operate:

• Turn On/Off: Slide the thumb control lever forward to turn on the water flow. Slide it backward to turn off the water flow.
• Adjust Pressure: The thumb control allows for variable pressure adjustment. Slide the lever partially forward for lower pressure (e.g., for delicate plants) and fully forward for maximum pressure (e.g., for cleaning). The lever will stay in your desired position without continuous holding.

Selecting Spray Patterns

Your watering wand offers 10 distinct spray patterns to suit various tasks:

1. Shower: Gentle, wide spray for watering delicate flowers and plants.
2. Flat: A broad, flat spray for covering larger areas quickly.
3. Full: A strong, solid stream for general watering or rinsing.
4. Mist: A very fine, soft mist, ideal for seedlings, newly planted areas, or humidifying.
5. Jet: A powerful, concentrated stream for cleaning stubborn dirt or reaching distant areas.
6. Center: A focused, medium-strength spray.
7. Cone: A conical spray pattern, good for general garden use.
8. Angle: A directed spray at an angle, useful for specific targets.
9. Vertical: A vertical fan spray.
10. ½ Vertical: A narrower vertical fan spray.

To select a pattern, simply rotate the rubber bezel dial on the spray head until the desired pattern aligns with the indicator.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the spray head to prevent mineral buildup, which can affect spray patterns. Use a soft brush and mild soap if necessary.
• Gasket Inspection: Regularly check the rubber seal gasket for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain a leak-free connection. The product is equipped with spare gaskets.
• Winter Storage: Before freezing temperatures, disconnect the wand from the hose and drain all water. Store in a dry, protected area to prevent damage from freezing.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on the wand, as this may damage the finish or internal components.

Troubleshooting

• Leaks at Hose Connection:
  Solution: Ensure the rubber gasket is correctly seated and not damaged. Tighten the connection firmly by hand. Avoid using tools that could overtighten and damage the threads.
• Low Water Pressure/Irregular Spray:
  Solution: Check if the spray head is clogged with debris or mineral buildup. Clean the nozzles using a small brush or pin. Ensure the thumb flow control is fully open. Verify adequate water pressure from your main water supply.
• Stiff Spray Pattern Dial:
  Solution: Over time, mineral deposits can make the dial stiff. Try rotating it back and forth several times. If persistent, clean the dial area with a soft brush and warm water.
• Water Hammer/Vibrations (with expandable hoses):
  Note: Some users report vibrations with expandable hoses when not at maximum flow. This is often due to the hose type interacting with variable flow. If this occurs, try using the wand at full flow or with a traditional hose.
