Warning: Intended for outdoor use only. Severe electrical shock could result if water is sprayed
into outlets or sources of electrical current. Do not use water more than 115°F (46°C). Do not use
when the ambient air temperature is less than 40°F (4.5°C). When not in use, remove batteries,
drain and store indoors away from freezing temperatures.
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.
n Turn the water off.
n Remove the batteries. Wait for the screen to go blank.
Reinsert the batteries.
n Note: Removing the batteries will not erase any
existing watering schedules.
n Turn the water back on.
n 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.
n 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.
n Remove the batteries.
n Be sure to store the timer indoors, away from
freezing temperatures.
Tips for Battery Life
n Make sure to use fresh alkaline batteries.
n Do not use rechargeable batteries.
n Remove the batteries at the end of the season before storing.
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.
