Setup

Setting up your Melnor oscillating sprinkler is quick and easy. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Position the Sprinkler: Place the sprinkler in the desired area of your lawn or garden, ensuring it is on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping during operation.
2. Connect to Water Source: Attach your garden hose to the sprinkler's inlet connection. Hand-tighten the connection to ensure a secure, leak-free seal.
3. Adjust Settings (Optional): Before turning on the water, you may pre-adjust the spray pattern and range using the controls on the sprinkler.

Operating Instructions

Once the sprinkler is set up, follow these instructions for optimal watering:

1. Turn on Water: Slowly turn on the water supply from your faucet. Observe the sprinkler's operation to ensure proper function and adjust water pressure as needed.
2. Adjust Spray Pattern: Use the adjustable controls on the sprinkler to customize the width and length of the spray pattern. This allows you to target specific areas and avoid watering sidewalks or driveways.
3. Adjust Water Flow: The sprinkler features controls to adjust the water flow, allowing you to fine-tune the intensity of the spray for delicate plants or areas requiring deeper saturation.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and efficiency of your sprinkler:

• Clean Nozzles: Periodically check the sprinkler nozzles for clogs from debris or mineral buildup. Use a small pin or the included cleaning tool (if applicable) to clear any obstructions.
• Inspect Filter Washer: The inlet connection may contain a filter washer. Regularly inspect and clean this filter to prevent sediment from entering the sprinkler mechanism.
• Winter Storage: Before freezing temperatures, disconnect the sprinkler from the hose, drain all water, and store it in a dry, protected area to prevent freeze damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your sprinkler, try these common solutions:

• Uneven Spray Pattern: Check for clogged nozzles and clear any debris. Ensure adequate water pressure from your faucet.
• Low Water Pressure: Verify that the faucet is fully open and that there are no kinks or obstructions in your garden hose. Clean the filter washer at the sprinkler inlet.
• Sprinkler Not Oscillating: Ensure the water pressure is sufficient. Check for any mechanical obstructions in the oscillating mechanism.
• Leaks at Connection: Tighten the hose connection. Inspect the rubber washer inside the hose connection for damage and replace if necessary.
