Pre-Set the Rotation
Voyager IF' sprinklers are preset to rotate
approximately 180°. Sprinklers may be
adjusted with water on or off. It is rec-
ommended that initial adjustment be
made before installation.
1. Using the palm of you hand, rotate the
nozzle turret counterclockwise to the
left stop to complete any interrupted
rotation cycle. (See Figure 1.)
2. Rotate the nozzle turret clockwise to
the right stop. This is the fixed side of
the arc. The nozzle turret must be
held in this position for all arc adjustments.
To Increase the Arc
1. Insert the plastic end of the Orbit' key
(Model 55070) into the pattern adjustment
socket. (See Figures 2 & 5.)
2. While holding the nozzle turret at the right
stop, turn the key clockwise. Each full turn
of the key increases the arc 90°.
3. Adjust to any arc between 40° & 360°.
4. When the maximum arc (360°) is
reached, the key will stop turning or there
will he a ratcheting noise.
To Decrease the Arc
1. Insert
the plastic end of the Orbitm key
into the pattern adjustment socket.
(See Figures 2 & 5.)
2. While holding the nozzle turret at the right stop, turn the
key counterclockwise. Each full turn of the key decreases
the arc 90°.
3. Adjust to any arc between 40° and 360°.
4. When the minimum arc (40°) is reached, the key will stop
turning or there will be a ratcheting noise.
Sprinkler Installation
Flush Lines
I. Turn the water on to thoroughly flush the lines of dirt and
debris before installing any sprinkler heads.
Install the Sprinkler Head
I. Complete steps 1 and 2 under "Pre-Set the Rotation".
2. Pop-Up (Model 55060) Select and install a riser to obtain the
proper height. (See Figure 3.) When the sprinkler is buried
the cap should he flush with the finish grade.
Above Ground (Model 55062)
Select and install a riser height
so the sprinkler spray will clear
surrounding vegetation.
3
Thread the sprinkler onto the
riser. When the threads are
snug, visually orient the arrow
on top of the cap so that it points
at the right stop (See Figure 4) by turning the entire sprin-
kler head on the riser. When the water is turned on, the
sprinkler turret will begin to rotate toward the left stop.
Note:
Do not use pipe dope on the threads. If necessary, use
Teflon - tape.
4. Space adjacent heads for overlap-
ping head-to-head coverage.
Radius Adjustment
Insert the metal hex end of the Orbit'
key into the distance adjustment
socket. (See Figure 5.) Turn the screw
clockwise (into the stream of water) to
decrease the radius, or counterclock-
wise to increase the radius. (Do not
rotate the screw too far either way or
the nozzle or screw may come out.)
Precipitation Rate Adjustment
For excessively wet or dry areas, the precipitation rate can be
adjusted: replace the existing nozzle with a larger one to increase
the rate or a smaller one to decrease the rate of precipitation.
Note:
It is not necessary to disassemble the sprinkler to make
adjustments.
Nozzle Installation
Pop-Up
(Model 55060)
I. insert the plastic end of the
Orbit® key into the lifting socket
(See Figure 5) of the sprinkler.
Pull the riser up to gain access to
the nozzle socket.
2. While holding the riser up with
one hand (See Figure 6), remove the key from the lifting
socket and insert the metal hex end into the distance adjust-
ment socket. Loosen the adjustment screw far enough to
clear the nozzle. If a nozzle is already installed in the sprin-
kler, it can he removed by briefly turning on the water, or by
pulling on one of the nozzle "ears" with needle-nose pliers.
3. Slip the desired nozzle into the nozzle socket. Note that the
socket is angled up 25°. Also note that the "ears" should be
located at the top. (See Figure 6.) Rotate the adjustment
screw in far enough to secure the nozzle.
Above Ground (Model 55062)
Tab
1. Insert the metal hex end of
the Orbit' key into the dis-
tance adjustment socket (See
Figure
5) of the sprinkler.
Loosen the adjustment screw
far enough to clear the noz-
zle. If a nozzle is already
installed in the sprinkler, it can
be removed by briefly turning
on the water or by pulling on one of the nozzle "ears" with
needle-nose pliers.
2. Slip the desired nozzle into the nozzle socket. Note that the
socket is angled up 25°. Also note that the "ears" should be
located at the top.
(See
Figure 6.)
Rotate the adjustment
screw
in far enough to secure the nozzle.
Cleaning the Filter:
1. Pop-Up (Model 55060)
To access the filter, unscrew the sprinkler from the riser.
Unscrew the cap and remove the cap/spring assembly from
the body
Above Ground (Model 55062)
To access the filter, hold the sprinkler's base ring with one
hand while unscrewing the sprinkler body with the other
(Do not unscrew by grasping the upper nozzle turret.)
2. The filter can be pulled out from the bottom of the assem-
bly and cleaned. Use pliers, if necessary.
3. Pop-Up
(Model 55060)
Replace the filter and screw the cap/spring assembly back
on the sprinkler body Reinstall the sprinkler on the riser,
being careful not to disturb the surrounding soil.
Above Ground (Model 55062)
Replace the filter and screw the sprinkler body back on the
sprinkler base. Reinstall the sprinkler on the riser.
Winterizing Your System:
In freezing climates, your sprinkler system must be drained
prior to freezing to prevent damage.
1. Turn off the water supply
2. Open all valves and manual drains to allow water to escape
(compressed air can be used to completely purge the system
of water).
