How To Adjust Your Hunter Rotating Sprinklers:

PGP, PGS, PGH INSTALLATION
The
PGP Pop-up sprinkler should be installed at finish grade as shown.
ARC
ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustable
heads are preset to approximately 180°. Sprinklers may be adjusted
with water on or off. It is recommended that initial adjustment
be made before installation.
1.
Using the palm of your hand, rotate the nozzle turret counterclockwise
to the left stop to complete any interrupted rotation cycle (Fig.
1).
2.
Rotate the nozzle turret clockwise to the right stop. This is the
fixed side of the arc. The nozzle turret must be held in this position
for all arc adjustments.
To
Increase Arc:
1.
Insert the key end of the Hunter wrench into the adjustment socket
(Figs. 2 & 3).
2.
While holding the nozzle turret at the right stop, turn the wrench
clockwise. Each full turn of the wrench increases the arc 90°.
3.
Adjust to any arc between 40° and 360°.
4.
Wrench will stop turning or there will be a ratcheting noise, when
the maximum arc (360°) is reached.
To
Decrease Arc:
1.
Insert the key end of the Hunter wrench into the adjustment socket
(Figs. 2 & 3).
2.
While holding the nozzle turret at the right stop, turn the wrench
counterclockwise. Each full turn of the wrench decreases the arc
90°.
3.
Adjust to any arc between 40° and 360°.
4.
Wrench will stop turning, or there will be a ratcheting noise, when
the minimum arc (40°) is reached.
RADIUS
ADJUSTMENT
Insert
the hex end of the Hunter wrench into the nozzle-retainer/range-adjustment
screw (Figs. 2 & 3). Turn the screw clockwise (into the stream
of water) to decrease the radius, or counterclockwise to increase
the radius.
PRECIPITATION
RATE ADJUSTMENT
For
excessively wet or dry areas, the precipitation rate can be adjusted.
Simply replace the existing nozzle with a larger one to increase,
or a smaller one to decrease, the rate of precipitation.
Note:
It is not necessary to disassemble the sprinkler to make adjustments.
NOZZLE
INSTALLATION
1.
Insert the key end of the Hunter wrench into the lifting socket
of the sprinkler. Pull the riser up to gain access to the nozzle
socket.
2.
Using the Hunter wrench, loosen the nozzle-retainer/range-adjustment
screw. If a nozzle is already installed in the sprinkler, it can
be removed by briefly turning on the water, or by pulling on one
of the nozzle "ears" with needle-nose pliers.
3.
Slip the desired nozzle into the nozzle socket. Note that the socket
is angled up 25°. Also note that the "ears" should
be located at the top (Fig. 4). Tighten the nozzle-retainer/range-adjustment
screw.
