So, yesterday I had a client call me and say let have a little bit of trouble with the Rain Bird 5000 getting them to move in the right direction and spray the right distance. So, I went over there and kind of coach them through how to do it and got everything working form and I wanted to pass along what I showed to him. So, that in the future when you are doing your sprinkle project you do not have the same problems.
If you think about your yard, let us say we have a square yard with the sprinkler head here and sprinkler head here and a sprinkler head here and what you want to do first is you want to align the left fix edge with the further left you want to go. So for example, this one right here you want to align the left fix edge so that it does not shoot out pass here because let us say for example you got a drive way out here so you want to align that so that the sprinkler goes right there. So, what you will do is you will take you Rain Bird 5000 head there and we have got an align all the way to the left. So, this would be all the way to the right. Go all the way to the left, so that does not move anymore. And you will align that up with the left edge of the yard. So, what you want to do is if you can tighten the whole thing, so that arrow, right there, points at your left edge when the turf this pointed at the fix left edge. And then, from there you can do your adjustments with the plus or minus right there to set up your right hand edge.
Now, the other thing that he runs into problems with was adjusting the flow. Basically, there were flying too far, they are going into his house. All you have to do is--there is a little right there is the radius adjustment. You just throw a flat-head screwdriver in there. And, if you want to reduce it, you just screw that down, you can see the screw go down, and it is down as far as you can make it go. And then, it can also go up.
Basically, that is what you want to do, when you are setting up your yard with Rain Bird 5000 series roller heads.
