  • čas přidán 19. 06. 2013
  • With a rotor tool, its easy to adjust the left stop, but ever wonder how to adjust the right stop after install? Mike from Hunter technical support will show you two ways to adjust your Rotor Right Stop. This technique works for all rotors including Hunter's popular PGP, PGP-Ultra, PGJ and SRM. (we also have a quick tip video about how adjusting the arc and radius of Hunter rotor • How to Adjust a Hunter... )

    This was by far one of the clearer explanations I have happened across thus far. Great camera work, image clarity, and verbal articulation. Thank you!!

    To anyone out there, a word of warning: in this video the large, black plastic ring he unscrews at 3:20 to remove the inner barrel/sprinkler riser loosens up with hardly any effort. IF this same ring on your Hunter I-20 sprinkler head has not been removed in a long time, there is a high probability that as you crank on the ring counterclockwise to loosen it, instead of "only" the ring coming loose, the ENTIRE sprinkler, (meaning the inner barrel/sprinkler riser, the ring AND the outer barrel) may come loose from your water feed line below the entire sprinkler assembly. How do I know? This happened to me today when trying to remove the inner barrel to set the right stop of the arc. I then put the entire sprinkler assembly in a vise and tried to loosen the ring with a pair of channel-locks. No dice. I then tried loosening the ring using 2 channel-locks gripping the ring and the outer barrel. Still no dice. The bottom line is I couldn't get the ring off (to remove the inner barrel/riser) without crushing / completely destroying the outer barrel. When I called Hunter Tech Support the guy I talked to said that in order to NOT have the entire sprinkler assembly come loose he digs down BELOW the ring and puts a pair of channel-locks on the outer barrel and then twists (either by hand or a second pair of channel-locks) the ring loose. Bottom line: be prepared for the ring on your sprinkler to NOT come loose as easy as in this video. Sorry for the long post but maybe this will help someone out there.

      That’s common sense tho. I work at a soccer complex so we’re always replacing head. You need to dig about 10 inches to be able to get the guts out of the sprinkler head. Other wise yeah the whole unit spins and you might get a leak or the whole head just popping out of the ground.

  • @harleykidd
    @harleykidd Před 4 lety +3

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, like other readers I played around with adjusting my PGP for hours. Finally gave up and just put a cinder block to stop excess swing/throw. Every spring I vowed to figure it out...this year is gong to be different I thought....nope this went on for 6 years. I even bought a new sprinkler head and read the instructions on the inside to no avail, guess I had to see in action. All they would have had to say is that the right stop is not adjustable unless you tighten threads or lift up and realign gears. Again thank you !!!!!!!!

  • @SanderLandscape
    @SanderLandscape Před 10 lety +17

    I work with Hunters everyday and this actually helped me a little as I did not ever know of the second technique which can come in quite handy at times. The Hunter channel is one of the most informative on youtube. Please keep posting vids!!!

  • @thebordernow
    @thebordernow Před 4 lety +4

    Perfect! Appreciate the "two methods" to adjust the right stop; some other videos just say to tight the whole rotor sprinkler clockwise, which could crack the rotor bottom or the underlying threaded riser if the rotor was fully tightly screwed on already.

  • @raligula
    @raligula Před 9 lety +21

    I had been struggling with my Hunter heads after trying to follow the directions that came with purchase, but fortunately I found this video and finally I was able to put it all together in my head, and made all adjustments in 5 minutes, after what had been hours of frustration. Thank you for this video.

  • @Engineer9736
    @Engineer9736 Před 4 lety +11

    This was exactly what i needed. I’ve been messing with these screws for days with no result. Now i learned that the sprinkler doesn’t need to be running to adjust it, and no need to wait to see how it turns after changing a setting. Now i know exactly what to do 👍 But maybe i broke some heads already. Will see.

    I like using Hunter PGP’s because it’s a fair price and they last a long time. I actually enjoy my customers having a tiny service bill. Makes me feel like I’ve done quality work. They last 10-25 years easy. Not sponsored by hunter.. Over 20 years experience and I’m 36 years old.

  • @hangdogit
    @hangdogit Před 8 měsíci

    Good video. Note that, to make the left stop INCREASE its distance, you turn the leftmost setting CLOCKWISE -- someting I find a bit counter-intuitive.
    Also, Hunter or someone makes a small white plastic collar that goes around the sprinker AFTER it has been raised with the little tool. The purpose is so that you don't have to hold it up using one hand to offset the spring. Then both hands are available instead of getting fatigue from counteracting the spring. That is handy for changing the NOZZLE -- which is not accessible unless the sprinkler is raised -- and is not shown in this video.

    • @Hunter_Industries
      @Hunter_Industries  Před 8 měsíci

      What a great tool! Hunter makes a Nozzle Insertion Collar (123200SP) that will hold up a rotor while it's being serviced. You can order one from your local Hunter distributor.

    @patrickgarvey3945 Před 8 lety +1

    Best Video yet on how to adjust a Hunter PGP. questions for Hunter in regards to the Head and Assembly that sits in the Cavity/Container piece. Is there a rubber gasket that could corrode after 10 years? One of my sprinkler heads was spraying water from this area causing low pressure output at the nozzle. Ensuring it was free from debris and no visible cracks, I was unable to hand tighten enough to prevent leak. Another unit I have, I am unable to unscrew the assembly. Thinking they were not to be opened, I was able to minimize leaking in the first unit by over tightening it with pipe wrench and vice. (using caution not to crack or damage the unit) How tight should it be? Thanks!

  • @ctjflo
    @ctjflo Před rokem

    Thank you for the easy and precise explanation. One question please, how do i get the sprinkler to water closer to the head, it sprays far away and makes puddles and 3 feet near the head it is barely wet. Same problem with the MP rotator. I have chosen Hunter for all the sprinkler heads and I need some help.

    • @Hunter_Industries
      @Hunter_Industries  Před 14 dny +1

      Industry standards call for head to head coverage, helping provide a more uniform sprinkler coverage. A head that has a 15 ft radius would have the next head spaced 15 ft away.

  • @janny4746
    @janny4746 Před 10 lety +1

    Thank you. As a single woman, I pay my landscaper $55/year to adjust the sprinkler heads. If I see brown spots and call him back, I may have to pay additional. This video really helped. It took a few views and some trial and error to understand the "right side" concept and how all arc adjustment must follow the right side. I did have some difficulty moving it. But in the end, I learned something and feel confident that I can perhaps tackle replacing heads when necessary. One thing I am noticing. .. When the system shuts down, the head takes about 2 minutes to slow to a stop and then it needs to be pushed down. Is this normal or is there a way to fix this as well?

  • @codyfitz6288
    @codyfitz6288 Před 3 lety

    Can you unscrew the top of the sprinkler like you did in the second technique while the line is pressurized or will it spray water everywhere and empty out your entire line?

      You do not need to remove the cap to make rotor adjustments. The cap on an I-20 has the same openings for an adjustment tool.
