Product Layout

The timer unit includes an indicator light, an overload protection switch, and multiple outlets. The main unit is designed to attach to a ground stake.

Installation

To install, rotate the stake and align its four tabs with the four holes on the back of the timer. Push the tabs down, then up, until they lock into place.

If the ground is too hard to insert the stake, digging a hole that matches the stake with a hard object will be perfect.
