Main risks

• Short-range jets that may irritate eyes or sensitive skin.
• Sudden disconnection of connectors or hoses under pressure, with possible knocks and leaks.
• Slippery surfaces caused by water or mud that may lead to falls.
• Tripping over hoses laid out or the sprinkler itself when left on the ground.
• Damage to delicate plants from using an overly concentrated jet.
• Flooding or pooling from leaving the tap open or the spray gun locked on.
• Electrical risk if water reaches sockets, appliances or extension leads.
• Cracks and breakages due to frost or prolonged sun exposure that degrade plastics and seals.

Safe use

• Before use, check that the spray gun and sprinklers show no cracks, deformations or leaks at connectors and seals.
• Connect the hose and accessories firmly; open the tap gradually and set the watering pattern while pointing away from people and pets.
• Keep the jet away from your face and do not look into the nozzle when it is connected or pressurised.
• Hold firmly when changing the pattern or opening/closing the water flow to avoid sudden twisting.
• Route the hose along the edges of walkways and avoid running it across doorways, stairs or busy paths.
• Do not lock the trigger or leave the spray gun pressurised unattended; always close the tap when you are not using the equipment.
• Keep a safe distance from sockets, light fittings and electrical appliances; avoid splashing connected equipment.
• If you use pumps or pressure reducers, set the working pressure to that recommended for the watering accessories.

Storage and maintenance

• Close the tap and release pressure before disconnecting; drain water from the spray gun and the sprinkler after each use.
• Store in a dry, shaded and well-ventilated place; avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Protect from frost: in cold weather, store indoors and do not leave the spray gun connected outdoors.
• Remove sand and dirt from the nozzle with a rinse; if the model allows, remove the diffuser for gentle cleaning without sharp objects.
• Periodically check seals and O-rings; replace any that are worn and, if appropriate, apply silicone lubricant to the seals to improve sealing.
• Avoid harsh cleaners; use water and mild soap and dry before storing.

Restrictions on use

• Not a toy. Keep out of reach of children; use by minors should only take place under adult supervision.
• Do not aim at people, animals, or towards sockets or electrical appliances.
• Do not use with very hot water, steam, or with corrosive chemicals, solvents or concentrated pesticides unless explicitly indicated by the manufacturer.
• Do not use for firefighting, industrial work, or with pressure washers or other high-pressure sources not intended for domestic watering.
• Do not modify, drill or force threads or connectors; stop using the equipment if it shows cracks, deformations or persistent leaks.
• Do not exceed the system's working pressure; if you use a pump, set and monitor the pressure to prevent damage to hoses, spray guns and sprinklers.
