NOTE:
The
RPS75
is factory preset with a 180° arc setting, and includes a
pre-installed #3 nozzle.
CHANGING A NOZZLE
1. REMOVING THE NOZZLE RETENTION SCREW
Use the hex
(B)
end of the Key to remove the nozzle retention screw by turning
counter-clockwise to remove or clockwise to re-install.
2. PULL UP THE RISER
Insert the
(A)
end of the Key in the keyhole
(L)
on the top of the nozzle turret
(I)
and turn the key 1/4 turn to insure that the key does not slip out of the keyhole
when you pull it up. Firmly pull up the entire spring-loaded riser to access the
nozzle socket
(G)
. Hold the riser assembly with one hand.
3. REMOVING THE NOZZLE
With nozzle retention screw removed, the nozzle may be removed by pulling
outward on the nozzle prongs
(D)
with a pair of needle-nose pliers.
4. INSTALLING A NOZZLE
Press the desired nozzle
(C)
into the nozzle socket
(G)
. Make sure the nozzle
number is visible and the nozzle “prongs”
(D)
are up. Then, re-install the nozzle
retention screw
(F)
.
NOTE:
The nozzle retention screw is also a break-up screw
and used to adjust the distance of the spray.
SETTING THE ARC ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:
The
RPS75 Gear Driven Sprinkler
has a fixed right start and an
adjustable left stop.
1. POSITIONING NOZZLE TURRET TO ITS “RIGHT START”
Place your fingers on the top center of the nozzle turret
(I)
. Rotate the turret
counter-clockwise to the left stop to complete any interrupted rotation cycle.
Rotate the nozzle turret clockwise to the right start. This is the fixed side of the
arc. The nozzle turret must be held in this position for arc adjustments. The right
start does not change.
2. ADJUSTING THE RIGHT (FIXED) SIDE OF ARC
If the right side of the arc is not properly aligned, the sprinkler may spray in areas
not intended for watering such as driveways or adjacent properties. The right side
arc can easily be realigned.
OPTION 1: REPOSITION CAN ON THE FITTING
Turn the sprinkler can
(K)
and the fitting below it left or right to the desired
position. This may require temporary removal of the soil around the sprinkler
to allow you to grip the sprinkler can.
OPTION 2: REMOVE INTERNAL RISER ASSEMBLY AND REPOSITION
Unscrew the top
(H)
counter-clockwise and remove the internal riser assembly
from the can. Once removed with nozzle turret
(I)
at its right start, reposition
the riser assembly so that nozzle arrow points to the desired start position.
Replace the riser assembly back in the can and screw on the top. At this point
you have realigned the right arc stop, and you can adjust the left arc to an
appropriate setting.
3. ADJUSTING THE LEFT (VARIABLE) SIDE OF THE ARC
INCREASING THE ARC
Insert the
(A)
end of the Key into the arc set adjustment slot
(M)
. While holding
the nozzle turret
(I)
at the right start, turn the Key clockwise. Each full 360° turn
of the Key will increase the arc 90°. Adjust to any arc between 40° and 360°.
The Key will stop turning, or there will be ratcheting noise, when the maximum
arc of 360° has been reached.
DECREASING THE ARC
Insert the
(A)
end of the Key into the arc set adjustment slot
(M)
. While holding
the nozzle turret
(I)
at the right start, turn the Key counter-clockwise. Each full
360° turn of the Key will decrease the arc 90°. Adjust to any arc between 40°
and 360°. The Key will stop turning, or there will be a ratcheting noise, when
the minimum arc of 40° has been reached.
SPRINKLER INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL AND BURY
Do not use pipe dope. Thread the sprinkler on the pipe. Bury the sprinkler flush
on the same watering zone.
2. INSPECTING THE FILTER
Unscrew the top
(H)
and lift the complete sprinkler assembly
(J)
out of the can
(K)
. The filter is located on the bottom of the sprinkler assembly and can be easily
pulled out, cleaned and re-installed.
3. WINTERIZATION TIPS
When using an air compressor to remove water from the system please note
the following:
a.
Do not exceed 30 PSI.
b.
Always introduce air into the system gradually to avoid air pressure surges.
Sudden release of compressed air into the sprinkler can cause damage.
c.
Each zone should run no longer than 1 minute on air. Sprinklers turn 10 to 12
time faster on air than on water. Over spinning rotors on air can cause dam
age to the internal components.
