Prevent overwatering while conserving water by connecting
your timer to the HydroLogic® Soil Moisture Sensor. The easy

a watering cycle when it is raining or when the ground is
already wet. Adjust the dial to maintain just the right amount
of moisture for healthy lawns and gardens.

MANUAL WATERING:
“Fill a bucket, clean the car or wash the dog.”
■
To use a hose or other watering tool, simply press the (manual) button. Then using the
button select which zone you want to use.
■
Using the button, select the length of time you wish to water. After a few seconds, the
valve will open, and then automatically close when the selected time is reached.
Open Valve During Installation
Shaking during transportation can cause valves to be open. if this occurs, water may run continuously
through the 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 the valves 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 the valves and spray
water through the valves and the faucet connection to flush out any built-up sediments or
debris.
