• Duration dial sets watering timer—up to 8 selections from 2 min-
utes to 120 minutes. Ten watering duration options (ON, OFF, 2

Battery installation (Fig. 1)
1. Remove the timer cover.
2. Pull the battery compartment out of the timer.
3. Install three "AA" alkaline batteries (not included). Refer to the
battery compartment for the correct orientation of the batteries.
4. Place the battery compartment back in the timer.
5. Three fresh "AA" alkaline batteries should last for an entire
watering season. When the battery voltage is below a safe oper-
ating voltage, the valve will not open and the old batteries should
be replaced with fresh batteries.
6. Replace the timer cover to protect the timer from moisture and
debris.

ton to advance the time in 1 minute increments .
Note:
The timer valve will close when making entries using the Set Time
and Set Start buttons. Set Time and Set Start settings are accepted
by the timer 5 seconds after buttons are released, except at the ON
setting.
Set the watering start interval
Turn the interval dial to the desired watering interval. (see fig. 2).
Note:
All water interval settings begin timing at the Set Start time shown
on the digital readout.
The interval dial has ten possible settings:
COVER
• Once: the valve will open once for the amount of time on the
TIMER Duration dial and then remains inactive until the Start Interval dial
is rotated to another setting.
• 2 hr: the water will come on every two hours.
• 4 hr: the water will come on every four hours.
• 8 hr: the water will come on every eight hours.
• 12 hr: the water will come on every twelve hours.
• Daily: the water will come on once every day.
• 2nd day: the water will come on every other day.
• 3rd day: the water will come on every third day.
• 4th day: the water will come on every fourth day.
• 7th day: the water will come on once a week.
Note:
The watering interval will begin after the dial has been stationary
for 2 seconds. Whenever the interval dial is rotated, the interval
resets to the new setting.
Fig. 2
Set the watering time
Rotate the duration dial to the desired watering time. (see fig. 3).
Note:
All duration settings begin timing at the Set Start time shown on the
digital readout.
The duration dial has ten possible settings:
• OFF: the valve will close and remain closed when the dial is in this
setting.
• ON: the valve will open and remain open when the dial is in this
setting.
• 2 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 120 min: the
water will come on automatically at the selected interval and
remain on for the chosen duration before automatically switching
off until the interval is reached again.
To change the watering time while the valve is open, simply rotate
the dial to the new watering time. The valve will remain open for the
duration shown on the duration dial regardless of how long the
valve had been open prior to the change.
Fig. 3
Watering once
Turn the interval dial to the ONCE setting and turn the duration dial
to the desired setting. The valve will open for the duration shown on
the duration dial beginning at the Set Start time, then close after set-
ting is reached. The timer will remain inactive until the interval dial is
rotated to a new setting, or until the valve is activated manually.
If the duration dial is changed to a new position during watering,
the watering time will reset to the new dial position.
Note:
Watering in the ONCE setting with a new duration setting allows
one-time watering at the Set Start time.
ONCE watering can only be stopped when:
• Entering a Set Time in the digital display (except when duration
dial is in the ON position).
• Entering a Set Start in the digital display (except when duration
dial is in the ON position).
• Turning the duration dial to the OFF position.
Manual watering
Turn the duration dial to the ON setting. The valve will open and
remain open until the dial is rotated to another setting. The dial can
be rotated to a duration setting, and the valve will remain open for
that amount of time. The watering interval is not interrupted when
the valve is operated manually.
Note:
Manual watering overrides the Set Start time, allowing for immedi-
ate watering.
To turn the valve off
Rotate the duration dial to the OFF setting. The valve will not open
while the dial is in this setting.
Low battery indication
The valve will close when the battery voltage level drops below the
ideal operating voltage. The batteries should be replaced with three
fresh "AA" alkaline batteries.
CAUTION:
The timer swivel connection to the hose faucet and the timer's
threaded connection to the hose swivel are designed to with-
stand normal, lateral hose adjustments. Abrupt or forceful hose
movements should be avoided.
Maintenance and off-season storage
• Remove the timer from the faucet during the winter or during
extended periods of inactivity.
• Open and close the valve several times to allow the water to
drainout.
• Remove the batteries and clean the battery contacts. Properly
dispose of the batteries if signs of corrosion are present.
• Store the timer, with the timer cover, installed in a warm, dry location.
Troubleshooting
Batteries are properly installed.
Fresh alkaline "AA" batteries are installed.
The hose faucet timer is turned on.
Try operating the timer manually by rotating the duration dial to
the ON setting.
