• A manual override allows to water between cycles or to stop the on-
going irrigation cycle without altering existing programs.
• Line A or Line B will stay open manually for a minimum of 15 minutes
to a maximum of 60 minutes; time can be increased in 5 minutes incre-
ments only.
• Built-in stainless steel filter traps harmful contaminants.
• Programmed irrigation cycles and weekly watering days are retained
while battery is removed.
• Quick-click connect couplings for fast and easy hose removal.

Operating tips
• The two lines do not operate simultaneously to maintain water flow
rate; programs open contecutively starting from program 1.
• Weekly programming effects both lines.
• Manual mode is preset at a minimum of 15 minutes; longer time can
be set in 5 minutes increments up to a maximum of 60 minutes.
• Use Alkaline batteries only; do not use lithium or rechargeable batte-
ries.
• Install new battery at the start of the watering season.
• Regularly wash the filter to prevent clogging.
• Remove from faucet when temperature reaches below 37.4°F (3°C),
drain all water and remove batteries to avoid oxidization.
• When using for the first time, observe the progress of the program/s to
ensure the unit operates properly.
• Be careful when pulling the hose or fittings to prevent damage to the
unit.
• Do not use with operating pressure below 7.3 PSI (0.5 Bar) or higher
than 145 PSI (10 Bar) and with water temperature exceeding 104°F
(40°C).
• Do not install into any type of valve box or under the soil level.
• Do not submerge in water or other liquids.
• Use with tap water only.
• Keep the flip-top lid closed when not programming to protect against
outdoor elements.
• Keep out of reach of children and animals.
• Do not expose at temperature below 37.4°F (3°C).

SETTING WATERING PROGRAMS
The Timer has two outlets for automatic watering of two independent zo-
nes up to six times a day.
Each line has three programs per day.
Programs 1,3,5 run on line A (left outlet).
Programs 2,4,6 run on line B (right outlet).
The timer works on a 24 hour clock
(i.e. 2 pm = 14:00) therefore prior to
setting the programs, make sure your scheduling falls within a 24 hour
window.
Program 1 must corresponds to your earliest watering cycle of the day be-
cause all following programs move forward in time from program 1.
(i.e. if program 1 is set up to start at 16:00 = 4 pm, there are 8 hours left in
which the remaining programs can be set).

• When programming watering cycles, the time automatically adjusts by
default to the next minute
(i.e. Program 1 closing time 07:30, Program 2
opening time defaults to 07:31).
• All programs must be set in sequence, for example after setting program
1 it is not possible to set program 3 without having first set program 2.
However it is possible to delete any program once that program has been
set (see chapter
Deleting programs at page 14).

Frequently asked questions
Why can’t unit automatically water from both lines at the same time?
Having both lines operating simultaneously water flow would be too low and
the pressure not sufficient for proper operation of the hose end applications.
Only exception is when in manual mode (see page 17).
Can the programs be scheduled to operate over midnight?
No, all programs must be set within a 24 hour window starting from midnight
= 00:00.
Can the two lines have different weekly programs?
No; weekly programming effects both lines.
Can I use any 9V battery?
No, Akaline only. Do not use lithium or rechargeable batteries.
Can I change the 15 minute of the manual mode?
Yes, the time can be increased in 5 minutes increments up to a maximum of
60 minutes.
Once started, the manual mode can be stopped by hand before the time left
for watering has elapsed.
What happens if the unit is not removed during freezing
temperature?
The ABS plastic components will crack causing the unit to be inoperable.
Product will not be warrented under this circumstance.
