Adjusting a Hunter Rotor: Rotor Right Stop Adjustment
Vložit
- 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!!
Glad it was helpful!
Finally!! Someone who knows how to clearly and simply explain something! With excellent video to go along with it! Well done! Subscribing...
Glad it helped!
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.
After 10 years, it is still a lifesaver🙂 Thank you Hunter!!
Omg this was so helpful for a sprinkler newbie! Thank you for saving me $$ and not needing to call a landscaper!!! DIY is the best!
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 !!!!!!!!
Outstanding video. After viewing, I was able to achieve what our association landscapers could not for the last 5 years. Now the heads on my property are all properly aimed. Thank you Hunter Industries.
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!!!
Had this system put in 18 months ago and needed a few new heads. Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial.
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.
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.
Ditto! Trying to adjust with the spray flying is hilarious for my wife to watch, but a drenching for me. Thank you!
Great video, hunter sprinklers have been the Bain of my existence but no more
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.
Great video. I tried looking through the instructions and they seemed a little challenging. I adjusted 6 Hunter heads today and they all went well so thank you very much for helping the instructional video.
The best video I’ve seen, thank you! After hours researching and trying to adjust our irrigation after we build new patio, you explained it in 17 seconds
Thank you
Thank you so much. It’s so simple after your video. I had to unscrew the top and reset the unit. Thanks for keeping me from breaking the threads trying to over tighten to get the right stop set...
I am familiar with Rain Bird adjustments but I never could figure out Hunter until today! Excellent explanation Thanks
Glad to help!
Thank you for the clear instructions. I first tried a different brand but gave up after much frustration. I then went an bought a Hunter, with your clear instructions, it was easy to make the necessary adjustments
By far the best video on how to properly adjust the sprinkler heads.
Agreed. Been messing with these for years, and now I know how to adjust the heads! Thank you!
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.
The best instructions I have watched. Thanks. Definitely was not going to pay anyone to adjust mine for me. Appreciate it.
Thanks so much for this video! I just bought three of these sprinklers to replace weathermatics and was stumped
on how to adjust them.
This is the best adjustment tutorial I have watched so far. Thank you, heading out to the front yard.
Dude, I have been looking for this video for ages!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do it. Good job. Thanks, Chuck
This was the Gold Standard by far, of how to adjust these Hunter PGP heads! Bravo,,,,
Thanks for watching!
I have been trying to figure out the right stop adjustment for several days on one of my heads. So far, this video has saved my last nerves. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Awesome! I work for an irrigation company and I have to explain this to people a lot.
You made my life so much easier and saved me a bundle. Thank you. The best instructional video ever!!
That was the simplest instructional video I have seen in regards to this adjustment. I would have loved to have seen this video first and not wasted my time on others. Thank you!
I have had mine for years and never realized you can adjust these when the water is off.....I get soaking wet everytime I mess with my system.
Nothing like a beached whale running out of the way of the sprinkler. My neighbors must get a good laugh.
Good Video Thanks
I just want to say thank you so much. You helped me totally understand how is sprinkler works!
This is really great and exact. I was trying to follow the instruction that comes with the product but to no avail. I am actually planning to return it today but would defer doing it after I saw this video.
I would love to say big thanks to this video and that man. That's exactly what I needed for weeks. I had tried to call the sprinkle company to come and fix it but they did not show up.
After watching it, I know how to adjust both the left stop and esp the right stop. I watched soany videos but they just showed how to turn the left ones only.
Excellent!
Thanks for this very concise and well explained video. Was able to easily adjust my sprinkler heads.
Finally a video that explains the adjustment clearly.
Thanks, dude! I had to take it apart as described in the second part of the video. Worked just as you described. Now my stairs don't get watered!
Glad it helped!
Yes the best instruction. Clear and simple. Great job! Thanks
Thank you for this video! Very helpful!
Everything works perfectly now!
Super helpful. Straight to the point. No weird intro or CZcamsisms. Great video.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Very helpful, and nicely done video!
Had a new fence installed and I didn’t want the old heads hitting it and leavings water marks. Made the adjustments and now there perfect. Thank you
You're welcome
Great job explaining how to adjust a rotor.
Thank you very much for video, which is so clear to understand the procedure.
thanks for the video. just installed a new head and adjusted 2 others.
Best Hunter sprinkler head adjustment video ever!! Thx!!
Excellent video!! The trickiest part is the Hunter instructions do not inform you how to adjust the fixed right stop in correct position before you go ahead and adjust the arc via the left stop adjustment.. took me 3 mins after watching this video
Thanks for a simple and great explanation.
This helped a lot! Thanks mate, from Australia 🇦🇺
You're welcome
Thank you! Very informative and to the point.
The best I have seen to adjust Hunter sprinkler ❤️
Thank you
Excellent much much better than the written directions thank you and I subbed and upped.
This video was very helpful, thank you!
Very informative, really nice video!
You save my day thank you
FINALLY!! Thank you for the great video.
Probably should have the right stop adjustment info in the owners manual. Just saying.
Thank you excellent video directions - so easy when the directions are clearly explained.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video - I should have watched this before going out and trying to set them while they were running ;-)
Thank you. Great help. I've got one head where the tool simply can't locate the square hole to adjust the radius. Any thoughts. I'm assuming it's clogged with debris.
This was the best video I've watched to explain how to do this and was very helpful thank you so much!!!!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you! Just what I needed to know for my new system!
Thanks for watching!
Great Video Explains everything TKS

Great clear instructions! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thumbs Up! ! Great video - so well demonstrated and explained. Thank you so much.
Thank you
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.
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.
Great video and explanation, thanks!!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much! This was clear and to the point!

Great video! Just what I needed!!
Awesome! thank you for watching!
Hopefully the distance is as easy. Nice video! Ty!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, very clear instructions
Glad it was helpful!
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!
Excellent video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Good video.. Informative
very good video! very good instruction and in focus! Thanks. (now to go buy that stinkin key, sure wish they had given me one).

Great explanation, thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped!
Bloody brilliant!
Helped me alot today. Thanks for the assistance!!
Any tips on cleaning/replacing the spray nozzle ?
One nozzle on the rotor head just refuses to deliver the water even though the head pops up. The other two rotors in the station sequence work fine.
Thank you!
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.
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.
The best explanation ever..thank muchhhhhhh.
You are welcome!
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?
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?
Great video! My i20 doesn’t have a cap to unscrew. How do I get the inner assembly out? I need to adjust my right stop.
Thank you for contacting Hunter Technical Support.
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.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Best explanation. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Best explanation I have seen
Thank you
Timeless video...doing this today
Thanks for watching!
that was a great explanation! my ex thought he knew what he was doing rather than looking on CZcams and ruined my my sprinkler heads!
That is why he is your ex I believe...lol
Really appreciate this video thank yku
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for a Great Video.
To me the instructions that come with the head is not very helpful, nothing written just confusing pictures.
Now I adjust them like a pro.
