Maintenance + Care
If your sprinkler displays irregular water pressure or becomes clogged due to dirt buildup, perform the following maintenance tasks:
Cleaning the Inlet Filter
- Remove your hose from the sprinkler.
- Locate the small inlet filter at the hose-end of the oscillator. Remove it and rinse under water to remove dirt. (See Fig. 3)

Flushing the Sprinkler
- Connect the oscillator to a faucet.
- Turn on the faucet. While water is running, gently spin the oscillator tube back and forth for a few minutes. (See Fig. 4)

Clearing Nozzle Clogs
- Remove the cleaning pin from the opposite end of the oscillator. (See Fig. 5)
- Use the provided cleaning pin to clear any clogs from the spray nozzles while water is running from the faucet (as in step 2 of flushing). (See Fig. 6)

Storage
Drain the sprinkler after use. Do not allow water to freeze in the sprinkler. (See Fig. 7)

Tips
- Plan the best coverage design for watering to avoid wasting water resources before placing the sprinkler.
- Drain any water from the sprinkler after use to preserve the unit for longer lasting use.
- Store the sprinkler in a dry, warm area until required.
- Water only when necessary, preferably in the morning, to minimize water loss through evaporation. For deep root growth, water deeply but infrequently. Watering every second day can provide better water coverage. Using a timer can help reduce waste. Monitor water application to prevent run-off.
Cautions
- For outdoor use with cold water only.
- Do not spray near electrical connections.
- When not in use, rinse the tool with water to remove dirt, dry it, and store indoors.

Included Accessories
A simple quick adapter (2 pcs) and hose connector (1 pc) with a water stop feature are included to simplify your watering experience.
Simply connect the hose connector to the end of your hose, and then attach your accessories to the adapter. You can interchange various accessories quickly without needing to turn off the water tap, as the adapter stops water flow when accessories are removed. This design prevents hose kinking or twisting, allowing your hose to swivel 360 degrees.
Illustration of quick-connect accessories. It shows a hose connector attaching to a garden hose. An adapter with a twist-and-lock mechanism (labeled 'LOCK' and 'UNLOCK') connects to the hose connector and then to various garden watering tools like sprinklers or nozzles. This mechanism is designed to prevent accidental disconnection and allows the hose to swivel 360 degrees. The diagram also indicates compatibility with 5/8-inch and 1/2-inch garden hoses.
