Instructions
Congratulations! You are now the owner of a Melnor AquaTimer Model 3015, one of the most versatile and easiest to set water timers ever built.
Installing the Battery
Remove screws and lift off the battery cover. You may need to use the screwdriver to gently pry off the battery cover. Insert one 9V battery and replace battery cover and screws. Make note of the positive and negative contacts.
Attaching the Timer to the Faucet
NOTE: Your AquaTimer can be programmed on or off the faucet. It may be easier to program the timer first and then attach it.
Simply attach the top coupling nut to the faucet by
twisting the nut clockwise. The nut should be snug. Do not overtighten. Once the AquaTimer is attached, turn on the faucet and leave it on while the timer is attached. Remember to turn off the water when you need to remove the AquaTimer.
Attach a garden hose to the outlet end of the timer and then set up a sprinkler as you normally would.

3.Use left and right (T U) arrow buttons to set “How Often” (watering frequency) to select an hour or day increment. (8 hours = 3 times per day, 2 days = every other day)
