TTS RoToRS – All ModelS Hunter tts golf rotors are available in two basic body styles. these are the g800 series and the g900 series rotors. each of these body styles is available in either the check-o-Matic valve configuration (c.o.M.) or, the electric Valve- In-Head (e.V.I.H.
• PVC swing joints with a 1½ inch male Acme outlet fitting. • Approved flexible swing joints with a 1½ inch male Acme outlet fitting. • R eplace the final fitting of the existing swing joint with a 1½ inch male Acme outlet fitting (fitting must be the same brand as swing joint). • U se the appropriate Hunter Acme Adapter fitting. These are available from Hunter distributors in various NPT and BSP sizes. (Teflon™ tape or PVC cement must be used between the connecting NPT or BSP threads) Following are the minimum recommended swing joint sizes for tts rotors. However, follow your Irrigation consultant’s recommendations where applicable: • G835 Series rotors – 1 inch swing joint with a 1½ inch Acme outlet fitting • G870 Series rotors – 1¼ inch swing joint with a 1½ inch male Acme outlet fitting...
Solenoid ConneCTionS – eleCTRiC ViH ModelS tts electric Valve-In-Head models have solenoid lead wires protruding from the rotor’s body in the traditional manner. controller field wires can be connected to the rotor, using the specified watertight wiring connectors, at this sub-surface position.
(fig 1). several tools are available to make on-auto-oFF selections: • T-Handle Tool – PN 319100 • Hunter Wrench – PN 471720 • Snap-ring Tool – PN 251000 the on-auto-oFF selector’s function and recommended operation is as follows: auto – the selector comes from the factory in the auto position. When in this position, the rotor will not activate unless the controller sends 24 volts of power to the rotor’s solenoid.
ConTRol Tubing ConneCTionS – C.o.M ModelS ConVeRTed To HydRAuliC ConfiguRATion In hydraulic installations, the flange compartment should be used to make the Control Tubing connections to the rotor. This allows for tubing connections, pressure tests and flushing of the control lines - all without digging. Converting C.O.M. models to the Hydraulic configuration – Remove the two stainless steel screws and lift the flange compartment lid to expose the flange compartment. Find the end of the ⁄ inch tubing that comes into the flange compartment from the bottom of the rotor (fig 4). check-o-Matic (“c”) versions of tts rotors can be converted for use in normally open Hydraulic systems by removing the end cap on the ⁄...

uPPeR SnAP - Ring ReMoVAl – g900 SeRieS prior to removal of the upper snap-ring assembly, the rubberized logo cap must be removed and the riser assembly must be pressed below the snap-ring’s rubberized seal. If the procedure below is not followed, the upper snap-ring assembly cannot be removed from the g900 series rotors: remove the stainless screw from the center of the rubberized logo cap using a phillips screwdriver (fig 10).
ARC AdjuSTMenT PRePARATion – g35, g75 & g95 PART - CiRCle RiSeRS all Hunter adjustable arc rotors have a fixed stop on the right side of the arc and an adjustable stop on the left side of the arc. arc adjustments can be made with the riser in hand or, after installation with the rotor not activated or, while the rotor is in operation.
ARC AdjuSTMenT PRoCeduRe – g35, g75 & g95 AdjuSTAble PART - CiRCle RiSeRS all adjustments are initiated by inserting the small end of the t-handle tool or the plastic end of the Hunter wrench into the riser’s adjustment socket. the adjustment socket can be found on the riser’s rubber cover by locating the circular depiction with arrows going in opposite directions (fig 24).
(fig 29). Insert the metal end of the Hunter wrench or a ⁄ inch wrench into the membrane within the arrow that is directly above the nozzle to be replaced.
(fig 31). Insert the metal end of the Hunter wrench or a ⁄ inch wrench into the membrane within the arrow that is directly above the nozzle to be replaced.
nozzle RePlACeMenT – g80 RiSeRS to view and replace the nozzles, it is necessary to compress the riser spring by grabbing the riser seal assembly (fig 32), pressing downward and then holding riser firmly to prevent the spring from moving upwards. the g80 riser has three color-coded opposing nozzles.
(turret) with three setscrews (fig 40). each setscrew has a 3⁄32 inch allen recess at the top. Insert the metal end of the Hunter wrench or a 3⁄32 inch wrench into setscrew that is above the nozzle to be replaced. engage the setscrew and turn counter-clockwise until the bottom of the setscrew clears the top of the nozzle (fig 41).
RiSeR SeAl RePlACeMenT – g80 RiSeRS the g80 riser seal-block assembly and the compressed retraction spring are retained on the riser with the shroud/ logo-cap assembly. It is necessary to remove this assembly in order to service the g80’s riser seal components. to remove the shroud/logo-cap assembly, it is necessary to fully compress the riser spring by grabbing the riser seal- block assembly, pressing downward and then holding riser firmly to prevent the spring from moving upwards (fig 47).
RiSeR SeAl RePlACeMenT – g90 And g95 RiSeRS the g90 and g95 riser seal assembly and the compressed retraction spring are retained on the riser with the retainer cap (plastic plate) at the top of the riser assembly. It is necessary to remove the retainer cap in order to replace the riser seal components.
RiSeR filTeR SCReen SeRViCing – All TTS RoToRS the riser filter screen is located at the base (bottom) of each riser. the purpose of the filter screen is to prevent entry of debris that are too large to exit the riser through the nozzles. If the filter becomes clogged with debris, water flow through the riser can be severely reduced and lead to diminished sprinkler performance. to remove the filter screen, locate the notched recessed area located on the outside where it meets the bottom of the riser (fig 54, 55, 56). Insert the snap-ring tool or a flat bladed screwdriver into the recess and then twist to lift the filter screen from its position against the riser.
STAToR AdjuSTMenTS – WHy And WHen ARe THey needed? the adjustable stator is preset at the factory to match the nozzle installed in the rotor. the purpose of the stator is to maintain a consistent and desirable speed of rotation. rotors that turn too fast cannot reach their published radius distance.
STAToR AdjuSTMenTS – g80 RiSeRS turn the riser upside down, remove the filter screen and view the stator area. notice the black part with the three sections extending outward from the center (fig 60). this black part on g80 risers is called the adjustable stator plate. beneath the adjustable stator plate is a gray non-removable part with the three openings.
STAToR AdjuSTMenTS – g90 And g95 RiSeRS turn the riser upside down, remove the filter screen and view the stator area. notice the white plastic part that is set within the bottom of the riser (fig 62). this white part on g90 and g95 risers is called the adjustable stator plate. beneath the adjustable stator plate is a black non-removable plastic part with the opening in the center for the turbine and the single opening to the side.
RiSeR RePlACeMenT – g35, g75 & g95 AdjuSTAble PART-CiRCle RiSeRS adjustable part-circle risers must be inserted such that the arc setting aligns to the area to be irrigated. all Hunter adjustable arc rotors have a fixed stop on the right side of the arc and an adjustable stop on the left side of the arc.
(fig 67). next, lift the riser assembly up until the nozzles can been seen above the upper snap-ring assembly (fig 68). slowly release the riser assembly downward until the riser assembly rests on top of the upper snap-ring assembly (fig 69).
It is important to note that there are different types of inlet valves (also commonly known as foot valves). If the incorrect inlet valve is installed, the rotor will malfunction. Hunter has a color-coding system to help correctly identify these valves: g800c check-o-Matic rotors = black screen attached to valve (fig 72) g800e electric V.I.H.
inleT VAlVe ReMoVAl – diSengAging THe SAfeTy inTeRloCk feATuRe Caution! Electric valve-in-head rotors are connected to pressurized main-line or sub-main piping. This pressurized piping must be depressurized before servicing the inlet valve. Serious bodily injury can occur if valve is removed when the piping is pressurized. Keep head and body parts away from the rotor’s exposed internal openings at all times.
inleT VAlVe ReMoVAl – g800 SeRieS With the main-line or sub-main depressurized, the riser assembly removed, the water extracted from the body cavity and the safety interlock feature disengaged, proceed with removal of the g800’s white lower snap-ring and inlet valve as follows: First, notice that close to each end of the white lower snap-ring there are two raised areas (fig 76).
Page 32
Important – take note of how the g800 Valve tool nests with the attached inlet valve. this will help later when attaching the inlet valve to the tool prior to inlet valve installation. to disengage the inlet valve from the g800 Valve tool, hold the inlet valve with one hand and the tool with the other hand.
inleT VAlVe ReMoVAl – g900 SeRieS With the main-line or sub-main depressurized, the riser assembly removed, the water extracted from the body cavity and the safety interlock feature disengaged, proceed with removal of the g900’s white lower snap-ring and inlet valve as follows: First, notice that close to each end of the white lower snap-ring there are eyelets (areas with a hole for access).
Page 34
to remove the inlet valve, it is necessary to align the pointer arrow on the g900 Valve tool with the alignment dot on the rotor’s flange. The alignment dot is centered on the flange compartment lid adjacent to (next to) the body cavity opening. A second alignment dot is located below the lid in case the flange compartment lid has been removed. align the pointer arrow on the tool with the alignment dot (fig 94) and lower the tool into the rotor’s body (fig 95). as the g900 Valve tool is lowered into the rotor’s body, recessed areas on the black plastic part on the tool will engage vertical rails inside the body wall.
inleT VAlVe SeRViCing – All ModelS Inlet Valves (also commonly known as foot valves) do not have serviceable internal parts and the valves are welded together as an assembly. as a result, inlet valves cannot be taken apart. any disassembly of an inlet valve will lead to a valve that is no longer usable.
Attention! Read and understand the inlet valve installation instructions outline below. If you are unsure or not clear on any portion of the installation procedure, contact your local Hunter Golf Distributor Representative or Hunter Technical Services can be contacted at 800-733-2823 and choose option #3.

to install the inlet valve into the rotor’s body, first load the white lower snap ring to the tool. Hold the white lower snap ring in the palm of one hand with the raised protruding ends of the snap ring facing towards you (fig 103). In the other hand hold the g800 Valve tool with the metal hook end of the tool pointing towards you.
Page 38
next, insert the assembled tool, white lower snap ring and inlet valve into the rotor’s body cavity. to do so, it is necessary to align the pointer arrow on the G800 Valve Tool with the alignment dot on the rotor’s flange. The alignment dot is centered on the flange compartment lid adjacent to (next to) the body cavity opening (fig 107). A second alignment dot is located below the lid in case the flange compartment lid has been removed. Align the pointer arrow on the tool with the alignment dot and lower the assembled tool, white lower snap ring and inlet valve into the rotor’s body.

Inlet valve installation option 2 – the alternative method to installing the g800 inlet valve is to use the 16” needle-nose pliers tool. First look at the top of the inlet valve and notice the raised wall or rib that protrudes upward from the center.
Page 40
With the valve’s communication port and/or the slot feature aligned to the dot on top of the rotor, carefully lower the inlet valve into the rotor’s body. If the inlet valve is properly engaged with the vertical rail in the body, it will not be possible to rotate the inlet valve.
inleT VAlVe inSTAllATion – g900 SeRieS remove excess water from the rotor’s body cavity. Inspect the upper and lower snap ring grooves making sure there are no damaged or missing sections of plastic adjacent to (next to) the snap ring grooves. remove all plastic shavings or burrs of plastic that are found within the body cavity.
Page 42
to install the white lower snap ring and inlet valve into the rotor’s body, first load the white lower snap ring and valve to the tool. to do so, hold the valve in the palm of the hand as shown (fig 117). In the other hand, take the white lower snap ring.
Page 43
check to make sure that the pointer arrow on the tool is directly above the communication port on the inlet valve and that the valve is securely hooked to the tool (fig 121). once the white lower snap ring and inlet valve have been properly secured to the tool, rotate the snap ring so that the snap ring’s open ends are 180 degrees away from the pointer arrow (to the opposite side of the tool).
Whenever possible, keep head and body parts away from the top of the rotor. ToolS needed • Phillips Screwdriver • Flat Blade Screwdriver • Hunter Wrench – PN 471720 • T ubing Clamp, Locking Forceps or ¼” Tube Retainer (to close pilot valve’s inlet tubing) • Side Cutters (Dikes) or Blade Cutter (to cut tubing) ACCeSS To flAnge CoMPARTMenT CoMPonenTS Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two stainless steel screws that retain the flange compartment’s lid (fig 124). A slot is located adjacent to the on-off-auto selector at the edge of the flange lid. Use a bladed screwdriver to pry the flange lid up...

With the flange compartment lid removed and prior to disassembly, take time to note the orientation of the various components within the flange compartment (fig 128). This will be valuable later for reference during final assembly. In particular notice: • How the solenoid wires fold over the top and to the flat side of the solenoid • How, in the Auto position, the flat on the side of the solenoid faces to the outside • How the pilot valve’s fittings and connected tubing point in a specific direction • How the pressure regulator is tucked into position within the compartment Selector cap Removal the selector cap turns the solenoid when the user changes the on-auto-oFF settings. under normal operating conditions, the selector cap should not need replacement. the selector cap can become damaged if the incorrect tool is used to make on-auto-oFF selection adjustments.
Solenoid & PiloT VAlVe ASSeMbly ReMoVAl In order to work on the solenoid or the pilot Valve, it is first necessary to remove the connected solenoid and pilot Valve assembly from the flange compartment. Prior to removal, take note of the orientation of the fittings and tubing that are attached to the pilot Valve. this will help with final assembly later. To remove the Solenoid and Pilot Valve from the flange compartment, grab the Solenoid and wiggle it back and forth while lifting upwards (fig 130). Pull the Solenoid and Pilot Valve assembly up and on top of the rotor’s flange (fig 131).
Solenoid & SeRViCing And RePlACeMenT preventing Sprinkler Activation – see the warning above regarding rotor activation when solenoid is loosened or removed. there are three ways to prevent activation of the rotor when the solenoid is removed from the pilot Valve: • T he best and most effective way is to shut down the main line or the sub-main line that supplies water to the rotor that is being serviced.
Page 48
Solenoid Servicing – the plunger assembly and the rubberized seat-seal are serviceable on Hunter solenoids. to replace a worn or damaged rubberized seat-seal, simply pull the old one off and press the new one into position on the solenoid’s plunger.
Page 49
If not possible, feed replacement Solenoid’s wiring through hole at the bottom of the flange compartment. Splice controller wires with solenoid’s wires using appropriate grease-filled connectors. choose either of the Hunter dc solenoid’s lead wires when making each splice as there is no specific polarity required.
PiloT VAlVe RePlACeMenT See the warning above regarding rotor activation when Solenoid is loosened or Pilot Valve tubing is disconnected. there are no serviceable parts within the tts rotor’s pilot Valve assembly. If the filter inside the pilot Valve becomes obstructed, the water flow through the Pilot Valve can be reduced. A substantial reduction in water flow through the pilot Valve will prevent the rotor’s Inlet Valve from opening fully.
ConneCTing Solenoid To THe PiloT VAlVe To ensure that the On-Off-Auto feature functions properly, follow the procedure outlined below. The TTS rotor’s Solenoid has double-lead threads. If this procedure is not followed, the Solenoid can be attached to the Pilot Valve 180 degrees out of position.
ATTACHing THe ASSeMbled Solenoid And PiloT VAlVe To THe flAnge CoMPARTMenT With the solenoid and pilot Valve correctly assembled as outlined above, look at the bottom of the pilot Valve. notice there are two opposing sections of plastic that protrude to the outside and away from the center (fig 139). these two “ears” must engage the Pilot Valve’s mounting base in the body flange compartment during installation (fig 140).
ATTACHing SeleCToR CAP To THe Solenoid the selector cap turns the solenoid when the user changes the on-auto-oFF settings. under normal operating conditions, the selector cap should not need replacement. the selector cap can become damaged if the incorrect tool is used to make on-auto-oFF selection adjustments. With the Solenoid and Pilot Valve assembly installed in the flange compartment and the Solenoid set to the Auto position (see instructions above), proceed as follows. The flat side of the Solenoid should be facing away from the rotor’s riser assembly pointing towards the outside of the flange compartment (fig 142).
PReSSuRe RegulAToR PuRPoSe, SeTTingS And AdjuSTMenT PRoCeduReS regulation settings are preset at the factory. If the installed rotor has been preset to the specified regulation setting for your irrigation system, further pressure regulator adjustments are not normally necessary. If a replacement tts rotor is being installed, it may be necessary to adjust the regulation setting.
PReSSuRe RegulAToR AdjuSTMenT the variable setting pressure regulator has been calibrated from the factory and set to a specific regulation setting. this setting will not normally need to be changed. the variable pressure regulator has a pointer and a pressure indicating scale on the side of its body with a range of 60 psI to 120 psI.
FIg 148 ATTACHing THe flAnge CoMPARTMenT lid Take a moment for a final check to make sure that all of the flange compartment components have been installed properly. Place the flange compartment lid into position and align the Selector Cap to its hole in the lid. Press the flange compartment lid into position and secure with the stainless steel retaining screws (fig 148). Finally, check selector cap for free movement of the on-off-auto Feature.
