Battery Installation & Assembly

Understanding Zones
■ This is a four zone timer allowing you to water four different areas from the same faucet.
■ Each zone can be programmed with up to four different start times.
■ You can use the PLANNING TABLE provided on the back of this sheet to help organize your
watering schedule for each zone.
Installation of the Timer
■ Attach the timer to an outside faucet and turn the water on very slowly.The water must be
left on while the timer is attached to the faucet for your timer to operate. You may choose to
program your timer before or after attaching it to the faucet.
■ NOTE: If water is continuously flowing through one or more valves, see Open Valves During
Installation in the “Useful Tips” section for more information.

SET CLOCK: “Set Current Time and Day”
■ The Water Timer default setting is a 12-hour mode (AM/PM). To ensure correct timing,
look for either AM or PM to the left of the time. To switch between 12-hour (AM/PM) and
24-hour (military time), hold the button for 5 seconds. 12-hour mode shows AM or PM
while 24-hour mode does not. Note: Changing time mode will erase all programs.
■ Before setting your watering times, you must first set the current time and day of the week.
When the batteries are first installed, the arrow in the screen will point to CLOCK. If it is not in
that position, press the button until the arrow is pointing to CLOCK.

Simply set the timer to the current day by pressing the
and buttons on the touchpad until the square is on the
correct day. Once the correct day has been indicated, press
the button.

can select specific days to water or an interval period of the day when watering will occur.

water. Press the button when the desired day-of-the-week is highlighted on the screen. You
can select as many days as you like. The days selected will have a square around them.
■ To water at preset intervals, press the button on the buttonpad to navigate past the days of
the week. Press the and buttons to set the time period (EVERY 1 DAY through EVERY
7 DAY (s) ).

the screen; program Zone 1 before moving on to Zone 2.

to Start Water on your screen, CYCLE A should be highlighted, use the and buttons to
select the first watering time.
■ If you want to set another START WATER time, press to move to CYCLE B. Repeat the
process above to set the next START WATER time. You may select up to four START WATER
times.
■ When you have set all desired START WATER times,
press
the button to move to HOW LONG.

HOW LONG: “Set the length of each watering cycle.”
■ With the arrow pointing to HOW LONG, use the and buttons to select the length of each
watering cycle. After setting HOW LONG you want to water during a selected cycle, press
to move to the next cycle. Repeat until HOW LONG has been set for each cycle.
■ HOW LONG can be set for up to 360 minutes (6 hours) for each watering cycle. The Cycle
length cannot overlap the next START WATER time.
■ Note: You can only select Watering Cycles if you have set a start time in Step 5 above.
We recommend replacing batteries when the indicator reaches

Open Valves During Installation
Shaking during transportation can cause valves to be open. if this occurs, water may run continuously
through one or more valves during installation.
■ Turn the water off.
■ Remove the batteries. Wait for the screen to go blank.
Reinsert the batteries.
■ Note: Removing the batteries will not erase any
existing watering schedules.
■ Turn the water back on.
■ If the problem persists, turn off the water. Use the
Manual feature to open and close each valve 3
times.
Seasonal Storage
Freezing temperatures can cause water in the timer to
freeze and expand, damaging the timer.
■ At the end of the season or when there is frost in
the forecast, turn off the water and remove your
timer from the faucet.
■ Remove the batteries.
■ Be sure to store the timer indoors, away from
freezing temperatures.
Tips for Battery Life
■ Make sure to use fresh alkaline batteries.
■ Do not use rechargeable batteries.
■ Remove the batteries at the end of the season before storing.
■ Batteries should last about one season. A schedule with more frequent
watering times can cause the batteries to drain faster.
Cleaning Your Timer
You should clean your timer periodically. Debris or sediments commonly found in water can build up
in your timer.
■ Turn off the water. Remove the timer from the faucet and check that the filter washer is clear. If
you notice any debris, remove the filter washer and clean it out with water.
■ Activate the MANUAL mode by pressing the MANUAL button. Open all of the valves and
spray water through each valve and the faucet connection to flush out any built-up sediments
or debris.
