CAUTION!
Rechargeable batteries should not be used,
otherwise the operating period of 1 year cannot
be guaranteed!
In order to stop the Water Control from failing because of
a weak battery if you are away for a long time, the battery
must be replaced when the battery symbol illuminates
yellow.
Regularly examine the batteries for damage.
Do not use damaged batteries.
Keep damaged batteries out of the reach of children.
Setting up:
Blocking the Irrigation Valve:
v In the case of dirty water, a GARDENA Central
Filter Art. 1510 must be installed upstream in the
watering system.
Water pressure:
The function of your watering system depends on the
available water pressure. Therefore, care should be taken
not to overlap watering cycles of the various watering
16
circuits and to ensure that the watering circuits you have
planned will be supplied with sufficient water at an ade­
quate pressure. Please refer to the planning instructions
in the GARDENA Brochure "Automatic Irrigation".
CAUTION!
If the control section is removed when the valve is
open, the valve remains open until the control section
is reattached.
DANGER! Cardiac arrest!
This product makes an electromagnetic field while
it operates. This field may under some conditions
interfere with active or passive medical implants.
To decrease the risk of conditions that can possibly
injure or kill, we recommend persons with medical
implants to speak with their physician and the medi-
cal implant manufacturer before you operate the
product.
DANGER! Risk of suffocation!
Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also
a risk that the polybag can suffocate toddlers. Keep
toddlers away when you assemble the product.
