6. Select AquaPrecise from the product list.

The Bluetooth LED lights up blue for ten seconds and the AquaPrecise is connected to the GARDENA Bluetooth® App.

The AquaPrecise can now be installed.

We recommend always carrying out the spray distance test before installation (especially in the Pipeline box). The spray distance test is used to check whether the required contour can be irrigated from the selected location.

Note: The spray distance test is automatically prompted by the GARDENA Bluetooth® App whenever a new location is added.

The AquaPrecise can be aligned in any direction. We recommend setting up the AquaPrecise in the garden so that the connection faces towards the water source.

1. Place the AquaPrecise on the lawn at ground level at the correctly selected location (see “2.7 Performing a spray distance test”).

2. Temporarily connect the AquaPrecise to the water supply.

3. Turn on the water supply.

4. Briefly press the manual button on the AquaPrecise.

The AquaPrecise is activated and the battery LED shows the battery’s charge status (see “3.3.2 Battery LED “).

5. Open the GARDENA Bluetooth® App on your mobile device.

6. Move the water jet within the irrigation area (left/right) using the GARDENA Bluetooth App.

7. Increase/decrease the watering distance limit to see if all corners/edges can be irrigated.

Tip: If there is anything in the way, you can set a second location for complete coverage of the irrigation area.

8. You can end the spray distance test once you are sure that each contour point can be reached and that there are no obstacles within the area.

9. Shut off the water source.

10. Install the AquaPrecise in the garden.

If you want to use the AquaPrecise at different locations, you can use an additional GARDENA mounting plate (Art. No. 16022).

Note: Installation is automatically prompted in the GARDENA Bluetooth® App after the spray distance test.

1. Place the mounting plate at the specified position on the lawn at ground level according to the spray distance test.

2. Use the supplied hex wrench to screw the three ground screws in the mounting plate and into the ground (perfectly level horizontally).

This will ensure that the AquaPrecise does not rotate.

3. Place the AquaPrecise on the mounting plate so that both pins on the bottom are inserted into the openings and it is positioned flat on the ground on the mounting plate.

4. Push the AquaPrecise towards the connection until it locks onto the base plate.

5. Connect the connection to the water supply via the Original GARDENA System.

Note: Installation is automatically prompted in the GARDENA Bluetooth® App after the spray distance test.

1. Place the Pipeline box at the specified position on the lawn according to the spray distance test.

2. Lay all components on the lawn.

3. Cut the pipes to length.

4. Dig the trenches for the pipes and the Pipeline box (approx. 20 – 25 cm deep).

5. Fill the trench under the Pipeline box with approx. 6 cm of gravel.

This ensures that the drainage slots in the box function properly.

6. Install the Pipeline box in the ground so that the top is flush with the turf.

This prevents damage when mowing the lawn.

7. For an optional additional ground fastening: Pierce the three holes for the three ground screws in the Pipeline box.

The GARDENA Bluetooth® App includes the following functions for the AquaPrecise:

• Setting locations

• Programming a contour

• Creating schedules

• Water consumption statistics

• Winter mode

Up to five individual contours can be programmed on the AquaPrecise using the GARDENA Bluetooth® App. Each contour is assigned to a location.

A maximum of 15 schedules can be created to meet various requirements.

Note: The GARDENA Bluetooth® App will now also guide you through the next steps for programming.
