How do I connect the sprinkler to my hose & tap?
To connect to your tap and hose to the Sprinkler, please follow the below instructions:
1. Connect your hose to your tap using Threaded Outdoor Tap Connector or Threaded Outdoor Tap Connector Pro.
2. Attach your Hose End Connector to your hose, and then into the Tap Connector - Hose End Connector, Hose End Connector Plus or Hose End Connector Pro.

Does this sprinkler work with an expandable hose?
Yes, the sprinkler will work with an expandable hose, but it could move when the hose retracts, so it is recommended to disconnect the sprinkler from the hose as soon as you turn off the tap.
Can I attach this sprinkler to a Hozelock Hose System?
Yes, all Hozelock sprinklers can be connected to a Hozelock Reel or Cart, or to a hose which has Hozelock compatible connectors attached.

The Sprinkler could be faulty. Please contact consumer services on+44 (0) 121 313 1122. Please ensure you have your original proof of purchase available.
What is the minimum pressure for the sprinkler to work efficiently?

Can this Sprinkler be set water my small lawn without moving it?
Yes. This sprinkler will cover up to 15m x 14m without needing to move it. You can adjust the size of the area by simply sliding the red setting rings and by adjusting the amount of water coming from the tap.
How do I get my sprinkler to oscillate both ways?
Check the red setting rings to ensure they are in the correct position. There are two, if one is set near the top, the sprinkler will only oscillate in one direction. This is so you can choose the exact area of your garden you wish to water. To resolve it, push both red setting rings down to their lowest positions to choose maximum area coverage. If, after adjusting this, it is still not changing direction, the Sprinkler could be faulty. Please contact consumer services on+44 (0) 121 313 1122. Please ensure you have your original proof of purchase available.
How do I remove the Sprinkler from my hose pipe?
To remove the hose end connector from the Sprinkler, do not twist. Instead, hold the sprinkler firmly while gently pulling back on the connector's sleeve, which is the largest yellow part of the hose connector. This will easily release the connector from the Sprinkler.

What happens if my sprinkler jams or stops oscillating?
If you experience problems with jamming or oscillation, it is possible for limescale to build up on the internal mechanism of the sprinklers, and cause it to jam or to stop oscillating as it should. please try the following:
1. Soak the sprinkler in a bowl of 50/50 water and vinegar for about half an hour to dissolve away any limescale.
2. Sometimes a piece of dirt or grit can get caught in the workings of the oscillator. Putting a small amount of WD40 into the sprinkler at the end where the water goes in should remove this.
3. Turn the water on full power and then kink the hose back on itself a few inches from the sprinkler to stop the flow. Hold it for a few seconds to build up pressure and then release. This can sometimes be sufficient to dislodge any particles that may be jamming inside.
4. Check that the small filter inside the male connector is clean.
If after following these suggestions the sprinkler is still not working correctly, the Sprinkler could be faulty. Please contact consumer services on+44 (0) 121 313 1122. Please ensure you have your original proof of purchase available.
