1. Attach an outdoor hose to the step-spike inlet.
2. Position the step-spike in your chosen location, then step
on the spike crossbar until the top of it is flush and level
with the ground. Note: The ground should not be hard when inserting the
spike. If needed, pre-water the area before installing the Yard Enforcer.
3. Make adjustments to the impact sprinkler head so when
activated the spray is in the direction of the desired
coverage zone.
4. Aim Sensor to where you expect the bulk of the animal
you are wanting to detect will be.
EXAMPLE: For deer you would angle the sensor up
toward the main part of the body.
Note: For maximum range and detection, aim sensor 10 degrees away from
the ground.
5. Turn on water.
6. Make further adjustments to the impact head. Set your duration, range
and operation dial as desired to fine-tune the enforced area.
Determine where you want the stream of water to go and position an
adjustment clip to the left and right of that area. Place the trip pin in-between
the two adjustment clips in the down position. If you want to water in a 360º
circle push the trip pin to the up position.
There are two ways to reduce the distance of the spray.
1. Screw diffuser pin into stream.
2. Press down deflector shield and turn distance control knob.
Position the sensor and sprinkler in the direction of where the pest enters the
yard to chase them away before they reach the plants and landscaping you
are protecting.
Certain animals are intelligent enough to recognize the pattern and range of
the Yard Enforcer and learn how to avoid the spray. Weekly adjustments may
be necessary to continue to discourage these animals. Another option is to
create a sprinkler "minefield" to better deter certain types of animals.
Create a larger sprinkler area by attaching additional sprinklers to
the riser outlets.
Sensor not detecting movement.
Check if:
• Range adjustment is set too low and adjust range if needed.
• Sensor is located in shadows during DAY mode, move if needed, or switch to
ALWAYS mode.
• Angle of sensor on mounting arm is too steep and adjust sensor angle if
needed.
• Object in front of sensor is moving and producing heat.
• Intelligent Sensing increases the delay between activations. Deactivate
Intelligent Sensing mode if desired (see Intelligent Sensing section).
• There is dust, dirt or hard water build-up on the white lens which will limit
sensitivity. Wipe the lens gently with a damp cloth if needed.
Sprinkler is activating without movement.
Check if:
• Sensor is detecting tree movement with the sun behind the tree.
• Activate Intelligent Sensing mode if desired.
• Sensor is being triggered falsely. Ensure sensor is not pointed at moving
objects, such as water or windy areas.
Sensor is detecting undesired movement.
• Check your surroundings. is sensor facing sidewalk, street, etc?
• Move sensor to new location away from busy surroundings.
• Adjust range knob.
• Adjust the duration knob.
Sprinkler is taking longer to turn off.
Check if:
• Batteries are low and replace if needed.
Water is leaking from joints.
Check if:
• Connections and swivel couplings are tight.
• Washer located on the bottom of the riser is missing, pinched, or damaged and
replace if needed.
• O-ring is missing, pinched, or damaged and replace if needed.
Sprinkler won’t activate.
Check if:
• Operation dial is set to appropriate time of day.
• Valve cable is connected to sensor unit.
• Batteries are low and replace if needed.
• Hose faucet is on.

For outdoor use with cold water only.
Not for use on appliances.
Do not spray near electrical connections.
Improper setup or use of sprinklers increases the risk of water damage to
property. Limit the supply of water to the sprinkler by opening the valve to a ¾
turn position. Use high quality hoses and maintain pressures within the working
pressure range stated above. Install a pressure reducer if you have high pressure
from the hose faucet. Only opening the tap part way does NOT lower water
pressure.
Use the step on the stake when pushing into the ground.
Do not apply pressure or weight on the sensor housing or sprinkler.
Working Water Pressure
Minimum: 20 PSI
Maximum: 100 PSI
Working Temperature
Maximum: Do not operate at temperatures exceeding 120°F
Minimum:
Keep from freezing. To prevent damage from freezing water, take the
Yard Enforcer® inside and remove the battery before the first winter frost.
