FAQs
What is the maximum area this sprinkler can cover?
With 4 bar water pressure, the sprinkler can cover a maximum area of 186m².
How do I adjust the spray distance?
The spray distance is controlled by the water pressure. For a specific range, you can adjust the water flow at your tap. The sprinkler's reach is up to 24 meters.
Can I connect multiple sprinklers together?
Yes, you can create an in-line sprinkler system. Unscrew the side cap on the sprinkler to reveal a 3/4 inch female threaded connector for linking to another hose pipe or sprinkler.
Is this sprinkler suitable for low water pressure?
The sprinkler is designed to perform effectively even with lower water pressure, though maximum coverage is achieved at 4 bar.
How do I switch between full and part circle watering?
Simply flip the trip lever up for 360-degree (full circle) coverage. Flip it down for part-circle operation, which can then be further adjusted with the trip collar.
What type of connection does it use?
It uses a quick-click connection for compatibility with most leading hose connector brands, and a 3/4 inch threaded connection for in-line setups.
How resistant is it to debris?
The sprinkler is designed for uniform coverage and offers resistance to sand and grit, which helps prevent blockages and ensures consistent performance.
Troubleshooting
Sprinkler not rotating or oscillating
Check for obstructions around the trip collar or lever. Ensure water pressure is sufficient. Verify the trip lever is in the correct position for the desired operation (up for full circle, down for part circle).
Uneven water coverage
Adjust the spray width using the trip collar. Ensure the sprinkler is placed on level ground. Check for blockages in the sprinkler head or nozzle.
Leaking at the connection point
Ensure the quick-click connector is fully engaged and properly seated. Check the washer inside the connector for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
Sprinkler head is blocked
Carefully unscrew the side cap. Inspect the internal components for debris such as sand or grit. Rinse the internal parts with water and reassemble. Ensure resistance to sand and grit is maintained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To begin, attach the sprinkler to your garden hose using the quick-click connector. Ensure a secure fit. For full-circle coverage, flip the trip lever up. For part-circle coverage, adjust the trip collar to set the desired spray width and angle. For in-line setups, locate the side cap, unscrew it, and connect it to a female 3/4 inch threaded connector that is attached to your hose system.
Compatibility: The quick-click connection is designed to fit with most leading hose connector brands. The in-line connection requires a standard 3/4 inch female threaded connector.
Care: Periodically check the sprinkler head and collar for any debris. To clean, gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For internal cleaning, if blockages are suspected, carefully unscrew the side cap and inspect the internal components. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic parts. Ensure the sprinkler is stored in a frost-free location during winter to prevent damage.
