Moved into house with 4 station Orbit sprinkler unit. Manual is faded, cannot figure out how to get it to control the sprinkler system. Can I get online instructions on how to program it?

Manual for #57900 12 station

http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#sprinkler

You can get manual online at orbit, or on link above
Manuals are only available if expert post link to manual... but over the years the links no longer worked... so few manual remain unless expert has a link to offer
Fixya oversells their offering to force customer visits.

4 station timer help

Copy following link to help identify timer:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#sprinkler
Most major brands are linked here, including manuals for each.
Some brands such as yardworks, etc, repackage other brands and have no online support or clear resolution for warranty claim.
Open link, then add a comment with brand and model and voltage so expert can access same manual.
Replace battery. Reset timer. Check if unit is getting power. Check if outlet has correct polarity. Are some basic troubleshoot steps.
Most timers have 1 year limited warranty, and timer that came with used house may no longer be functioning. Or the sprinkler hear has gone bad.
For replacement, I think Intermatic mechanical sprinkler timers are better value than digital timers, since the mechanicals have repair motors and trippers and can last 25 years.

Model 57882 9 station timer I did set up station 1 where do I begin in order to set up station 3

Question is not clear.
Do you have programming problem with the timer?
Or problem locating sprinkler heads?
Or a sprinkler valve problem?
Add a comment with detailed information.

Sprinkler timer turns ON-and-OFF.
Timer does not advance the sprinkler to next station. The sprinkler valve advances to next station when timer turns OFF.
For example, when timer turns ON, then station 1 starts watering.
Timer turns off, and then sprinkler valve automatically advances to station 2.
Timer turns on again, and station 2 starts watering.
