Lawn Sprinkler adjustments can be overwhelming; follow these tips, and remove the mystery.
Adjusting Lawn Sprinkler Tips
The multi-adjustment lawn sprinkler seems to be a guy thing, but with a few tips, anyone can adjust one with ease. The sprinkler has two ring adjustments to limit the movement far right and far left. It also has an adjustment screw in front of the spray nozzle to adjust for distance ( note, the more you reduce the distance the greater the spray effect).
1/ With the water turned off and water hose connected to the sprinkler, drive the peg into the lawn in the middle of where you want to water.
2/ Now you have to mimic what happens when the water is turned on, so lift the center of the unit to it full height (this is what happens when there is water pressure)
3/ With the center lifted rotate the spray nozzle to the extreme right; it will touch the control ring which tells it when to switch back in the other direction. Adjust this ring; if it is a spring wire type, squeeze the slip ring and rotate it to where you would like it. If it is a plastic type limit, just slide it to where you want it.
4/ Swing the spray nozzle complely to your left and repeat the same adjustment for this side.
5/ Turn the water on and see how far the water spray reaches. Next turn off the water. If it doesn't go as far as you would like it to go; turn the screw that goes in front of the spray nozzle counter-clockwise, which will back it out a bit. If the water is going too far, turn the screw in.
6/ Turn the water back on and observe. Make any adjustment necessary.
7/ you may have to reposition the sprinkler in the lawn to get the effect you want. In some cases you may have to make an adjustment at the tap, by reducing the water flow a bit.
