- Adjust Nozzles: Position each 360° adjustable sprayer to direct water precisely to the base of your plants or desired area.
- Install End Plugs: Use T-plugs (end plugs) to seal the end of any tubing runs.
- Turn on Water Supply: Slowly turn on your water supply to check for leaks and proper spray patterns. Adjust nozzles as needed.

- Leak Inspection: Regularly inspect all connections and tubing for leaks. Tighten connections or replace damaged components as needed.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Nozzles blowing off or leaking | Insufficiently secure connection; high water pressure. | Ensure tubing is fully inserted and locked into connectors. Check water pressure; if above 2 bar, consider a pressure reducer (not included). |
| Uneven water distribution (far end gets less water) | Long single run of small hose causing pressure drop. | Use a T-connector to split the main line and feed from the middle to equalize pressure. |
| Nozzles not spraying or dripping | Clogged nozzles; insufficient water pressure. | Clean nozzles. Ensure water pressure is above 2 bar. Check for kinks in tubing. |
| Timer not functioning | Dead batteries; incorrect programming. | Replace batteries. Refer to the timer's user manual for programming instructions. |
