Hunter G835 - Attaching Solenoid;Pilot Valve Assembly to Flange Compartment

Solenoid Replacement – It is not necessary to dig around the rotor to replace in-ground Solenoid wire splice
connections if there is condence in both the quality of the splices and the type of connector used. It is absolutely not
necessary to dig around the rotor to replace the Solenoid wire splice connections if the original connecting splices
werecompletedwithintherotor’sangecompartment.
 • In-ground with questionable wire splice connections – dig around the rotor to access the Solenoid splice
connections.Removetheconnectors.Ifpossible,runcontrollerwiresintotherotor’sangecompartmentand

Solenoid’s wires using appropriate grease-lled connectors. Choose either of the Hunter DC Solenoid’s lead
wires when making each splice as there is no specic polarity required.
IMPORTANT – the TTS rotor’s top service capabilities required that there is sufcient slack of the Solenoid’s wiring

 • In-ground good quality wire splice connections – Hold the defective Solenoid in one hand and cut the
defective Solenoid’s two lead wires at a point close to the defective Solenoid. Splice the lead wires from the
defective Solenoid to the new Solenoid’s lead wires using appropriate grease-lled connectors. If needed, the
newSolenoid’sleadwirescanbeshortenedtominimizeexcesswiringwithintheangecompartment.

Conrm that appropriate grease-lled type connectors are in use. If not, discard and replace with appropriate
connectors. If needed, the new Solenoid’s lead wires can be shortened to minimize excess wiring within the
angecompartment.
