Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully remove the sprinkler from its packaging.

- Connect Hose: Attach a standard garden hose to the sprinkler's inlet connection. Hand-tighten the connection to prevent leaks.

- Fine-tune Coverage: While the water is running, make minor adjustments to the length and width controls as needed to achieve optimal coverage for your specific area.

Maintenance
- Nozzle Cleaning: If water streams become uneven or blocked, use the integrated nozzle cleaning tool (located at the end plug) to clear any debris from the precision nozzles.
- Sieve Cleaning: Periodically check and clean the sieve located at the hose connection point. This prevents larger particles from entering the sprinkler and affecting its performance.
- Storage: During colder months or when not in use for extended periods, drain all water from the sprinkler and store it in a dry, frost-free location to prevent damage.
