5. IMPORTANT

- Recommended Water Pressure: 0.5 – 12
bar. In higher pressure areas, use a
pressure reducer.

- Recommended Operating Temperature: 4°
to 60°. It is recommended to remove the
timer from the tap during colder months and
when temperatures drop below 4°. The
timer should not be subjected to freezing
temperatures or frost.

- Recommended Water Source: Use cold
mains water only. If you are using a gravity
fed watering system, ensure that you use a
tap filter. Do not use any bore or unfiltered
water. Do not use any kind of pump to draw
water. Do not use if the water supply is
unstable. Do not use any liquids other than
water.

6. INSTALLATION

- The Draper Water Timer is best suited to a
cold mains fed system.

- The timer connects to the tap using the 1"
connector or ¾" reducer supplied.

- Using a hose connector (not supplied),
connect the hose directly to the timers, ½"
connector.

- Set the required watering time on the dial
before timing the water on.

7. GET STARTED

This mechanical timer is very easy to use. It
functions like an egg timer allowing you to set a
watering time of up to 120 minutes. If you just
want regular water flow from the tap, turn the
dial to MANUAL and water will flow freely.

8. WATER WITHOUT
TIMING

(Turn water on and off without having to
remove timer from the tap)

- Turn the dial anti-clockwise to MANUAL to

turn on the water flow.

- To stop water flow, turn the dial clockwise to

‘0’

9. SET A WATERING TIME

(Ideal for use with sprinklers and other watering
systems)

- IMPORTANT: Make sure your

sprinkler/watering system is set up correctly
before continuing. As soon as the dial is
turned, the valve opens allowing water to
flow. It is recommended to set the timer first
and then turn on the tap.

- Turn the dial clockwise so the arrow on the

dial points to the desired watering time.
Watering will begin immediately.

- When the timer reaches ‘0’, the valve will

close automatically and stop the flow of
water.

block the valve and cause the timer to
malfunction.
