セットアップとインストール

Follow these steps to properly set up your RAINPOINT 3 Zone Water Timer:

1. バッテリーの取り付け: The timer requires 4 AA alkaline batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment on the back of the unit, insert the batteries according to the polarity markings, and securely close the compartment. The compartment is designed with a silicone seal for waterproofing.
2. 給水フィルターを確認してください: Ensure the water inlet filter is clean and properly seated to prevent impurities from entering and blocking the valve.
3. Install on Faucet: Wrap Teflon tape (included) around the threads of your outdoor faucet. Attach the timer to the faucet, ensuring it is hand-tight only to prevent leaks. Position the timer vertically so the water outlets face downwards to prevent rainwater infiltration. If faucet threads cannot be tightened, add a rubber washer to avoid leakage.
4. ホースを接続する: Attach your garden hoses or drip irrigation pipes to the three brass outlets at the bottom of the timer. Ensure these connections are also hand-tight and secure.
