Vigoro 4 zone water timer looking for operators manual
Google the MODEL number or contact the outlet where you purchased it. A model number is needed to get accurate results, because they make so many. They appear to be a BRAND with no MAKER. They also do compost and fertilizer which means they don't actually make the timer, they have someone else like Gardena make it and put the Vigoro badge on it. The reviews are very mixed, units that leak, units that don't open the valves, units that work sporadically etc.
Made by Melnor possibly? Is this it?

How do you get into the Gardena T120
To access the Gardena T120 diaphragm remove the oval cover at back with small flat screwdrivers to reveal the round retaining cover. The retaining cover unscrews to reveal the diaphram mechanism which can be removed and cleaned. Hopefully this solves the problem.
Dirt or sludge in here cause the timer to stay on or leak.
Stage 2 if the above fails.
Remove the front timer cover with very large flat screwdriver. Simply lever off the front timer cover. This is a brute strength operation. There is no tab or button to help remove the front. Insects and dirt can get in and stop the operation of the needle mechanism.
Stage 3
I do not know how to get to the mechanical timer itself. Any suggestions?
Any idea how to set the time wld be useful. Thanks so much.
it is set for the number of minutes it will allow water through
turn it clockwise and the number you set it on is the number of minutes it is on
if you want a manual then go google and type in gardens t 13 water timer--- and in gardens .com site you will find a section manuals and documentation--instruction manuals
