The Scarecrow requires a garden hose connection and one alkaline 9 volt battery.Cautionary RemindersMalfunctioning sprinklers carry an inherent risk of causing water damage to your property. Mitigate your risks by limiting the amount of water available to the unit (open hose 3/4 turn maximum), employing good quality hoses (or preferably using hard plumbed irrigation pipes) and ensuring your water pressure is within the normal operating range for the unit.Intended to operate between 30 and 80 psi (2 - 5.5 Bar). Install a pressure-reducing valve on the tap if your water pressure exceeds 80 psi.When pushing the stake into the ground, do not push down or apply weight on the sensor housing.Before disconnecting the unit or the hose, always turn water off and activate the unit with your hand to reduce line pressure in the hose.Before the first winter frost, take the Scarecrow inside and remove battery.Dust, dirt, or hard water buildup on the white lens will limit sensitivity. Keep the lens clean by wiping gently with a damp cloth.The eye on the Scarecrow decal may frighten small birds.Avoid pointing at moving water, windy areas, and moving vehicles.Illustrated Manual included with product.
