Solenoid Replacement – It is not necessary to dig around the rotor to replace in-ground solenoid wire splice
connections if there is confidence in both the quality of the splices and the type of connector used. It is absolutely not
necessary to dig around the rotor to replace the solenoid wire splice connections if the original connecting splices
were completed within the rotor's flange compartment.
• I n-ground with questionable wire splice connections – dig around the rotor to access the solenoid splice
connections. Remove the connectors. If possible, run controller wires into the rotor's flange compartment and
splice wires to solenoid's wires using appropriate grease-filled connectors. 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.
IMPORTANT – the tts rotor's top service capabilities required that there is sufficient slack of the solenoid's wiring
leads within the flange compartment. To estimate required wiring slack, bring Solenoid to the top of the rotor's
flange. During back-fill of soil around rotor, do not let the Solenoid be pulled into the flange compartment.
• In-ground good quality wire splice connections – Hold the defective solenoid in one hand and cut the
defective solenoid's two lead wires at a point close to the defective solenoid. splice the lead wires from the
defective solenoid to the new solenoid's lead wires using appropriate grease-filled connectors. If needed, the
new Solenoid's lead wires can be shortened to minimize excess wiring within the flange compartment.
• Flange compartment wire splice connections – If original wire splice connections were made within the flange
compartment, simply disconnect splices and re-splice controller wiring to the new solenoid's wiring leads.
confirm that appropriate grease-filled type connectors are in use. If not, discard and replace with appropriate
connectors. If needed, the new solenoid's lead wires can be shortened to minimize excess wiring within the
flange compartment.
