How to Adjust the Gear Drive of a Pop Up Sprinkler Head

Rotor Sprinkler

• 1

  Turn the head of the pop-up sprinkler to the right until it stops.

• 2

  Insert the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the head of the gray-colored screw, then turn the screw to the left.

• 3

  Turn the base of the sprinkler and align it with the silver-colored screw to adjust the end of the spray point.

• 4

  Turn the gray-colored screw to the right 1/4 of a turn to set the angle to 90 degrees.

• 5

  Turn the small silver screw that is located at the top of the nozzle to the right or left. Turning the screw to the left increases the spray while turning it to the right decreases the spray.

Pop Up Head
