How to Manually Turn Off the Weathermatic Sprinkler System

The Weathermatic Lawnmate sprinkler system automatically waters your grass and other plants based on the schedule you program into the controller. You can control the days of the week and the times the sprinkler system activates. You can even enter separate commands for different sprinkler heads. But there may be times when you don't want to water because of rain or other reasons. You can turn off the sprinkler system from the control panel.

Instructions

- 1
  Find the switch on the bottom of the controller box labeled "VALVE POWER."
- 2
  Move the switch to the "OFF" position. This disconnects power to the water valves, turning off all sprinkler heads that are running. The water remains off until you move the switch back to its previous position. The controller continues to operate; there just isn't any water.

  Turn the bottom dial to the "RAIN OFF" position if you only want to turn off the sprinkler system for a few days. Select the number of days you want to deactivate the system by pressing the rocker switch on the left side of the panel. You can turn the system off for one to seven days. Use the rocker switch on the right side of the panel to select a day in the current week that you want the "off" period to begin. Turn the bottom dial back to "AUTO" when done.
