ARC ADJUSTMENTS
All I-40/41 group adjustable heads are preset to
approximately 180°. Sprinklers may be adjusted

initial adjustment be made before installation.
1. Using the palm of your hand, rotate the
nozzle turret counterclockwise to left stop to
complete any interrupted rotation cycle.

2. Rotate the nozzle turret clockwise to 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 Arc
1. Insert the key end of the Hunter wrench into
the adjustment socket (Figs. 2 & 3).

turn of the wrench increases the arc 45°.

4. Wrench will stop turning, or there will be a
ratcheting noise, when the maximum arc
(360°) is reached.
To Decrease Arc
1. Insert the key end of the Hunter wrench into
the adjustment socket (Figs. 2 & 3).
2. While holding the nozzle turret at the right
stop, turn the wrench counterclockwise.

the arc 45°.
3. Adjust to any arc between 40° and 360°.

ratcheting noise, when the minimum arc
(40°) is reached.
