How to Adjust Rain Bird 3500 Nozzles

The Rain Bird 3500 is a pop-up sprinkler, the head rising 4 inches above the housing. The system comes with six interchangeable nozzles, all of which have an adjustable direction and arc. Adjusting the spray direction and arc requires no special equipment other than a screwdriver. This allows the owner to direct the sprinkler spray to an exact location on the lawn or garden.
