I20 INSTALLATION: | |
The I20 Ultra pop-up sprinkler should be installed at finished grade as shown in the illustration (Fig. 1). |
ARC ADJUSTMENTS: | |
Adjustable heads are preset to approximately 180°. Sprinklers may be adjusted with water on or off. It is recommended that initial adjustments be made before installation.

To Decrease the Arc: |
Note: It is not necessary to disassemble the sprinkler to make adjustments. |
RADIUS / DISTANCE OF THROW | ||
Insert the steel hex end of the Hunter wrench into the adjustment screw (Fig. 6). Turn the screw clockwise (into the stream of water) to decrease the radius, or counterclockwise to increase the radius. Radius can be reduced up to 25%. Caution: Turning the adjustment screw clockwise more than five full turns may result in a lost radius adjustment screw. This is a real pain when this happens because you'll probably never find the screw. Make sure you do not screw the adjustment screw too far when adjusting the radius. |
PRECIPITATION RATE ADJUSTMENT If you have excessively wet or dry areas, you can change the nozzle in the sprinkler to increase or decrease the precipitation rate. For dry areas install a larger nozzle. For wet areas, install a smaller nozzle. A complete description of all Hunter I20 nozzles is available. |
NOZZLE INSTALLATION 1. Insert the plastic key end of the Hunter wrench into the lifting socket of the sprinkler and turn 90°. Pull the riser up to gain access to the nozzle socket (Fig. 8). 2. Using the hex key of the Hunter wrench, turn the radius adjustment screw (Fig. 6) counterclockwise to make sure it is not blocking the nozzle socket opening. If a nozzle is already installed it can be removed by backing out the adjustment screw and turning on the water, or by pulling outward on the nozzle "ears" with a pair of needle-nosed pliers. |
3. Slip the desired nozzle into the nozzle socket (Fig. 7). Then tighten the nozzle range screw. The triangle on the rubber cover will always indicate the location of the nozzle and direction of water flow when the sprinkler is retracted. |
ALIGNING THE FIXED SIDE OF THE ARC | ||
If the right side of the arc is not properly aligned, the results may be a wet walkway or a dry turf area. The right side arc can be easily realigned. One way to realign the right stop is to turn the entire sprinkler body and the fitting below it, left or right to the desired position. This may require temporary removal of the soil around the sprinkler to allow you to grip the sprinkler housing. Note: It is not necessary to dig up and remove the whole sprinkler to realign the right arc. |
||
Another way to reset the right arc is to unscrew the body cap counterclockwise and remove the internal assembly from the body. Once removed, rotate the nozzle turret to the right stop, screw the internal assembly back into the body with the nozzle aligned to the right side of the area you want irrigated (Fig. 9). At this point you have realigned the right arc stop, and you can adjust the left arc to an appropriate setting. (Fig. 4) |
TURNING FLOW ON OR OFF Insert the plastic key end of the Hunter wrench into the FloStop adjustment socket (Fig. 3 & 10). turn wrench clockwise to decrease or shut off the flow. Turn the wrench counterclockwise to increase the flow. |
