6.2 Start-Up Procedure
Be sure to follow the start-up procedure in order, a) to h).
Steps
a) Check electrical function:
Before any water supply to the sprinkler is opened, activate the solenoid by means of the controller.
An audible 'clicking' sound from the solenoid is indicative of its functioning properly.
(The click is produced by movement of the plunger.)
b) Ensure the manual control switch (located along the top cover of the rotor) is set to AUTO.
This setting ensures that the sprinkler will retract after the irrigation cycle.
c) Slowly open supply of water to the valve until operating pressure is built up.
It is possible that the sprinkler will briefly open, but should then automatically close after at most
30 seconds.
d) Once the water supply has been opened and the operating pressure has been reached,
check sprinkler and connection for leaks.
e) Confirm the sprinkler solenoid is operating properly by toggling the manual control switch between
AUTO and OFF. In between toggles is the ON position--the sprinkler should rise and begin rotating.
!
Do not stand in front of the nozzle opening!
f ) Check that the manual control switch is set to AUTO and deactivate solenoid (see point 6.2b).
Sprinkler will stop water flow within 30 seconds.
h) Check once again that it works correctly when activated electrically from the controller.
For Winterization process, see Section 7.
