The timer features a series of small pins around the dial, each representing a time interval. To program a watering cycle, push in the pins corresponding to the desired watering duration. Each pushed-in pin activates the timer for a specific period (e.g., 12 or 15 minutes, depending on the model). Leave blank spaces between groups of pushed-in pins to advance to the next watering zone or cycle.
