മെയിൻ്റനൻസ്

• ശീതകാലം: Before the first frost, disconnect the timer from the faucet and hoses. Drain any remaining water and store the unit indoors in a dry, protected area to prevent freezing damage.
• Check Washers: Regularly inspect the rubber washers in the inlet and outlet connections for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to prevent leaks.

ട്രബിൾഷൂട്ടിംഗ്

• No Water Flow or Partial Flow:
  • ബാറ്ററി ലെവൽ പരിശോധിക്കുക, കുറവാണെങ്കിൽ മാറ്റി വയ്ക്കുക.
  • Ensure the faucet is fully open.
  • Verify that the watering schedule is correctly programmed and activated ('ON' mode).
  • Inspect hose connections for kinks or blockages.
  • Check the timer's inlet filter for debris.
