PAGE 2 Cautionary Reminders
• Intended to operate with typical
household water pressure–between 30
and 80 psi.
• When pushing the stake into the ground,
use the step-in-stake footstep. DO NOT
push down or apply weight on the unit.
• To prevent damage from freezing water,
take Spray Away™ inside when the
temperature drops below 32°F.
• Dust, dirt or hard water can limit
sensitivity – keep infrared sensor clean
by wiping it gently with a damp cloth.
• Before disconnecting hose from unit,
turn water off and activate unit with
hand to drain hose.
• A maximum sensitivity level is more
prone to have repeated/erroneous sprays.
• To minimize false triggers, avoid
pointing Spray Away at moving water,
windy areas and moving vehicles.
• When the mode dial is set to
SPRINKLER, Spray Away immediately
starts to spray water – be sure to stand
behind Spray Away when setting to this
mode.
DO NOT PUSH DOWN ON UNIT!!

PAGE 3 How it Works
Havahart Spray Away® Hydro not only provides an innovative and humane way to keep animals out of
your yard, but also it conveniently doubles as an oscillating irrigation sprinkler, so you can use it to water
the surrounding vegetation. Simply select your mode, and use the provided remote control to
communicate with your Spray Away from up to 100 feet away.
ON MODE: When set to ON, Spray Away Hydro’s infrared sensor goes to work to seek out animal
intruders that cross its path. When an animal is detected, Spray Away deploys a burst of water that,
combined with the unexpected noise and motion of the sprinkler, creates a safe an effective animal
deterrent. Simply select your ideal sensitivity with the remote control, and allow Spray Away to do the
rest.
If you wish to water your lawn with Spray Away in ON mode, simply select your desired amount of time
on your remote control: 15, 30, or 60 minutes. If you wish to stop the sprinkler before time is up, press
STOP, and your Spray Away will go back to detecting animal activity.
SPRINKLER MODE: When set to SPRINKLER, Spray Away will begin watering your lawn
immediately, and continue watering until you select a timer setting, or STOP on your remote control. In
this mode, Spray Away will not detect animals.
OFF MODE: In this mode, Spray Away Hydro is off, and will not respond to the remote. You must select
one of the other two modes in order to effectively communicate with Spray Away via the remote control.

PAGE 5 MODE GUIDE
(DIAGRAM OF BACK OF UNIT WITH #S THAT CORRESPOND TO LIST BELOW)
(NEED DIAGRAM)
1. SPRINKLER Mode: Spray Away immediately and continuously sprays water. You may choose
to STOP the sprinkler, or set a 15, 30, or 60-minute timer with your remote control, after which
time the sprinkler will automatically stop. Spray Away does not detect movement in this mode.
2. ON Mode: Spray Away acts as a motion-activated sprinkler, and also responds to remote
sprinkler commands.
• To use as a motion-activated sprinkler, choose your ideal sensitivity based upon the charts on page
(#). Spray Away will always remember your most recently selected sensitivity, unless you replace
the batteries, in which case the sensitivity is automatically set to 5.
• To use as a sprinkler, select the amount of time you wish for Spray Away to continuously spray
(15, 30 or 60 minutes). Stop the sprinkler by pressing STOP or selecting a sensitivity, and Spray
Away will go back to detecting and repelling animals.
3. OFF Mode: Spray Away is off and does not respond to the remote control.

use in ON mode.
5. LED light: Illuminates when a signal is sent to the unit. If you do not see illumination when a
button is pressed, replace the batteries.
Note: The remote control best communicates with Spray Away at a distance of 0-90 feet. When the
unit successfully receives a signal from the remote, the indicator light will blink for one second to
acknowledge the signal. If the indicator light does not blink when you press a button on your
remote, try communicating closer to the unit. If that does not work, check the batteries of your unit
and of the remote control.
PAGE 7 ASSEMBLY GUIDE
1. Attach Sprinkler Head
• Attach sprinkler head lightly by hand to the top of unit body.
• Fully tighten sprinkler head by turning clockwise with the provided plastic wrench.
Note: Using tools other than the provided wrench will damage the unit and result in leaking and
malfunction.
2. Install Batteries into Remote Control first, and then Unit Body
• Remote Control:
o Insert 2 AA batteries into remote control first.
o To test, press any button. Remote LED light should illuminate as the button is pressed. If
LED light does not illuminate, change your batteries.
(NEED DIAGRAM)
• Unit Body:
o Be sure the function knob is set to OFF
o Insert 4 AA batteries into battery case.
o If indicator light is blinking continuously every 3 seconds, batteries are low.
Note: Each time new batteries are installed, sensitivity is automatically set to a level of 5.
3. Check Spray Away Operation (Dry Test: Do NOT Attach Hose!)
• Turn function knob to ON, and point infrared sensor toward a wall, or something that does not
move.
• Wait 5 seconds, then wave hand in front of infrared sensor
• Spray Away will make a “click” or motor sound and indicator light will illuminate. Spray Away
will reset for 8 seconds between activation and will not detect motion.
Note: If you do not hear sound, try new batteries and try hooking your unit up to water. If the problem
persists, call us toll-free at 1.855.5.HAVAHART or live chat at www.havahart.com.
4. Assemble Step-in-Stake and Attach to Unit Body
PAGE 8 PLACEMENT GUIDE
1. Find the Ideal Location
• Place Spray Away in an area where animals will cross the detection range, or in an area you wish
to irrigate.
• Place the unit so that the unit body is level to the ground, and the infrared sensor is facing the
area to be protected.
Note: Spray distance varies as it is directly related to your hose water pressure.
2. Stake Spray Away into the Ground
• If ground is too hard or unsuitable for Step-in-Stake, try wetting ground to soften soil, or stake
Spray Away in a bucket or flowerpot filled with sand or gravel.
• Do NOT push on top of sprinkler head or unit body.

SENSITIVITY GUIDE
1. Setting the Sensitivity
• Using the suggested settings charts below, select your ideal sensitivity with the remote control.
Because Spray Away detects heat, the sensitivity must be set higher in warmer temperatures. Use
the charts below as guidelines.
Note: In warmer temperatures, along with using higher sensitivity settings, the risk of false
triggering is higher. The sensitivity should be turned down in the case of false triggers.
Cooler temperatures (55 degrees F)
