Information about usage:

The large-area pop-up irrigation should not be combined with other sprinklers in one irrigation line.

If there is a change in the range of the large- area pop-up irrigation, the pressure conditions will change in the irrigation line, so altering the range of the other sprinkler.

➔Only use separate individual water channels for watering. Do not install in series with other sprinklers.

The ranges selected may vary with major fluctuations in pressure in the water pipe.

Pressure Tank Units (with pressure chamber) to supply water to the sprinkler are not recom- mended as they cause fluctuations in pressure with the switch-on / off pressure.

Sand and other abrasive substances in the water will result in faster wear and reduced output.

vWith water containing sand a Central Filter (e.g. GARDENA Central Filter Art. 1510) should be used.

Do not run over sprinklers installed level with ground with a lawn rake or aerator.

4. Initial Operation

The GARDENA Large-Area Pop-up Irrigation AquaContour automatic can be used to water individual garden areas. A jet of water slowly turns in a circle to the end of the programmed sector, stops, and turns back again, altering the spray range depending on the ranges programmed. The control panel is used to programme the irrigation contour points.

Select correct location for Large-Area Pop-Up

Correct location:

A Circle water distribution:

●With circle water distribution the large-area pop-up irrigation should be positioned as centrally as possible in the watering area to ensure that the irrigation width is not greatly affected by external influences such as wind.

B Sector water distribution:

●With sector water distribution the large-area pop-up irrigation should be positioned right at the edge of the watering area (e.g. at the corner of the house).

●The large-area pop-up irrigation must be positioned at a point in the watering sector from which it is possible to water the entire garden area required. The maximum range is 9 m (with 2 bar flow pressure at the irrigation unit).

●The large-area pop-up irrigation must be installed in a position which is sunny all year round to ensure the solar cell receives sufficient light.
