8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sprinkler not rotating or rotating incorrectly | Low water pressure, clogged nozzle, or obstruction in the rotation mechanism. | Ensure adequate water pressure. Check and clean the filter and nozzle for any debris. Inspect the rotation mechanism for obstructions. |
| Uneven spray pattern or reduced coverage | Clogged nozzle, incorrect spray angle/distance settings, or low water pressure. | Clean the nozzle. Adjust the spray angle and distance settings on the sprinkler head. Verify sufficient water pressure. |
| Water leaking from connections | Loose connections or damaged O-rings/washers. | Tighten all hose and sprinkler head connections. Check and replace any worn or damaged O-rings or washers. |
| Sprinkler falls over during operation | Unstable tripod placement or very high water pressure. | Ensure the tripod legs are fully extended and stable on a level surface. If water pressure is excessively high, consider reducing it or adding weight to the tripod base for stability. |
