ASSEMBLING THE MISTING KIT
See Figures 1 - 4, page 8.
To ensure the product functions properly, always flush and
test the system for leaks before use.
To flush system and test for leaks:

With the hose faucet turned completely off, attach a
garden hose (not provided) to the misting tube coupler
and hand tighten.
NOTE:
The misting tube coupler has been shipped with
an o-ring inside it. Ensure the o-ring has remained in the
coupler.

Turn faucet on and allow water to run through the garden
hose and misting tube for 30 seconds to wash away any
debris. Then turn faucet off.
 Install brass nozzles into the threaded holes on the misting
tube.

Turn faucet on fully and allow water to run through the
garden hose and misting tube to pressurize the unit.
 NOTE:
Make sure the faucet is turned on fully and that
there are no kinks or leaks in the hose.

Check each threaded hole on the misting tube for leaks.
If leaks are present, refer to the
Troubleshooting section
later in the manual.
To prepare system for use:

Turn faucet off and disconnect the misting tube coupler
from the garden hose.
NOTE:
Make sure the o-ring remains in the coupler.

Attach the misting tube coupler to the threaded end of
the T-filter.
NOTE:
The open side of the T-Filter has an o-ring inside
it. Ensure the o-ring has remained in T-filter.

Attach the garden hose to the open side of the T-filter
and tighten securely.
NOTE:
Do not remove the strainer cap and attempt to
attach the misting tube coupler opposite the garden hose.
MOUNTING THE MISTING KIT
See Figures 5 - 8, page 9.
WARNING:
Install alligator clamps in an area where no electrical
wires, utility cables, pipes, or other obstructions are
located. Never connect alligator clips to electrical wires
or cords. Contact your local utility company or a qualified
electrician if you are unsure. Ensure alligator clamps
and misting tube are securely installed to prevent falling
object or slippery surface hazard. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in electrical shock or other serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when using a hammer to
install the hanging mounts and misting tube. Failure to
do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes
resulting in possible serious injury.
To obtain the best spray area (mist curtain), we recommend
that the misting tube be secured to an overhead support.
Always mount the misting kit in a suitable location away from
electrical devices and switches.

Turn the hose faucet completely off and disconnect the
misting tube from the T-filter.
