Laying out the Hose
Lay out the path you want your sprinkler to
follow. 5/8" hose is recommended.
(1/2" hose can be used, but because of the
smaller diameter, there is a slight possibility the
sprinkler will jump the hose track and travel in
a wrong
direction.) This
sprinkler is
intended for
watering
established
lawns. For
newly-seeded
lawns, please
use a Nelson
stationary
sprinkler.
Setting up the Ramp
Snap the shut-off ramp to the hose where you
want the sprinkler to stop. (Make sure there is
5'of straight hose on both sides of the ramp.)
If you are using 1/2" hose, you will need to flip
out the spike
from beneath
the ramp to
anchor it to
the ground.
Connecting the Sprinkler
Place the small front wheels directly over the
hose with the large black wheels straddling the
hose.
Setting the Speed
Your traveling sprinkler will travel 0 to 60 feet
per hour depending on what speed you select:
high or low. Pull up on the speed selector knob
and move to high for light watering. If the knob
is in the low position, the sprinkler will travel
slower and, therefore, spray more water in a
given area.
If you want the
sprinkler to sit in
one place and
water a specific
area, switch to
neutral.
Starting the Sprinkler
To start your sprinkler, make sure the stopper
that is located on the underside of the sprinkler
between the large back wheels is pulled out
(found on models with shut-off ramp). Then,
turn on your faucet and watch the sprinkler
move through your yard along the pattern you
have set with the hose. Note: If the sprinkler
stops just after turning the water on, turn off
the water, pull out the stopper again, and
slowly turn the water on.
Stopping the Sprinkler
When your sprinkler rides over the shut-off
ramp, the stopper is pushed up, shutting the
sprinkler off. To reposition your hose and
sprinkler for another part of your yard, first turn
off the water. (You will find it very difficult to
pull the stopper down if the hose is still
pressurized.) Bleed some water pressure from
your hose. Then, pull the stopper out to reset it
and proceed to lay out a new hose pattern on
the un-watered portion of your lawn.
