We propose an asymmetrical jet ejection mechanism in order to model the mirror symmetry observed in the lobe distribution of some protoplanetary nebulae (pPNe), such as the pPN CRL 618. 3D hydrodynamical simulations of a precessing jet launched from
an orbiting source were carried out including an alternation in the ejections of the two outflow lobes, depending on which side of the precessing accretion disk is hit by the accretion column from a Roche lobe-filling binary companion. Both synthetic optical emission maps and position-velocity (PV) diagrams were obtained from the numerical results with the purpose of carrying out a direct comparison with observations. Depending on the observers point of view, multipolar morphologies are obtained which exhibit a mirror symmetry at large distances from the central source. The obtained lobe sizes and their spatial distribution are in good agreement with the observed morphology of the pPN CRL 618. We also obtain that the kinematic ages of the fingers are similar to those obtained in the observations.
