I have watched so many sprinkler adjustment videos but I just couldn't do it right! I watched your video 2 times and today I did it right and it works great. Your simple step of adjusting before you put the sprinkler in the ground is what worked for me. Thank you.

@crabocado 2 ай бұрын

It would be helpful if you could use the words "clockwise" and "counterclockwise". When you say "to the left" there is ambiguity because it could mean "the top goes to the left" (= counterclockwise) or "the bottom goes to the left" (= clockwise).

You are correct. English is not my first language and we do not use those phrases, so I will do that next time.

@truenorthmuskoka9077 2 жыл бұрын

thanks. Im just learning about these now. I think rain bird wants you to unscrew the unit and pull it out. You will see a gear at the bottom. Turn the head where you want your starting point then insert it back in. The gear will interlock at that position and you’re done

@BRISTOLFORCE2009 7 ай бұрын

They don’t stay in that position, I’ve tried that like 20 times before and it would always shift as I tighten it

@DontWorryAboutItttt Ай бұрын

I tried to run 3 of these in series and I guess I dont have enough water pressure to run them. IDK i checked water pressure and its 50psi from hose bib but after the first sprinkler head its down to 20psi I have a large area to cover no sure what to do. I didnt want to have to continue moving it around the yard

I agree that the instructions are horrible! I spent way too much time yesterday in frustration messing with a replacement head for my hunter pop up that was leaking. I should have searched for your video first and saved myself LOTS of frustration. I’ll let you know if I have success after attempting another round.

Excellent very easy once you do the left stop , then adjust the right stop all the way down and adjust it as needed.

@wstt4 11 ай бұрын

I don’t understand. How do I adjust the left side starting point? I see the screw adjusts the right side stopping point. What do I do if when screwed in the left side starting point is 180° from where I want it to start? Just partially screw the head on so it lines up but then let water leak out the bottom?

Im following the instructions in this video, and my sprinkler seems to be stuck in a nearly 360 degree pattern. Anyone have any advice to help? Thank you

@victoriatver2007 Жыл бұрын

To change the left stop direction while in the ground you have to adjust by starting at the full left stop. Then UNSCREW THE WHOLE HEAD from the outer housing, lift it out, and point the arrow to the left starting point. Then, tighten the head nut back into the outer housing and adjust the RIGHT stop .

That wouldn’t do anything, when you screw it back on, the alignment changes

I was able to pop up the inner sleeve using a screw driver in that third slot, and hold it up, and rotate by holding on tight. It isn’t easy, because it was all wet and muddy from trying to do it the wrong way, and that center section wants to pull back down and close up. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9V5rM1hl5nJqnk.htmlsi=avfBRntZ0vk6st_J

@sgib199 Ай бұрын

Unscrew/screw the entire unit from where it is threaded in the ground to adjust the left edge? That is not correct. If you need to adjust it to the right just a little, and if it’s it already screwed on tight, you would have to loosen it almost an entire turn in the ground. Which may cause it to leak in the ground. Oh, and you are right. The manufacturers instructions (and their video) are horrible.

This guy doesn't understand how to correctly install the 42SA+ sprinkler head. This model of sprinkler head has a slip clutch design. You just install this in the ground and you just hold top part of of the sprinkler head and slowly turn counterclockwise to set the stop limit on the left side, then use the flat screw driver to change the range of the arc (*/-). I installed this type of sprinkler head many times and this method never failed.
