SOLENOID, PILOT VALVE  
& REGULATOR SERVICING 
All Electric VIH Models
Caution! Electric valve-in-head rotors are connected to pressurized main or sub-main piping. This 
pressurized piping must be depressurized before servicing the rotor. This rotor will activate (turn 
on) if Solenoid is loosened or if Solenoid is removed or if Pilot Valve is removed or the supply  
tubing is cut. High velocity water streams and ows are emitted from the rotor. Bodily injury can 
occur if the water stream hits the face, eyes, ears or other body parts. Keep head and body parts 
away from water stream. Wear proper eye protection and use the designated tools when servicing 
these rotors. Whenever possible, keep head and body parts away from the top of the rotor.

ACCESS TO FLANGE COMPARTMENT COMPONENTS 
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two stainless steel screws that retain the ange  
compartment’s lid (FIGURE 124).  A slot is located adjacent to the on-o-auto selector at the edge 
of the ange lid. Use a bladed screwdriver or the tip of the snap ring tool to pry the ange lid up 
(FIGURE 125). Set the ange lid and screws aside. Factory installed ange compartment lids have 
a large recessed area that can be used for the application of yardage marker placards (FIGURE 
126). An optional ange compartment lid is available with a raised area for paint-lled engraving 
of the yardage marker (FIGURE 127). This optional version is available only as a replacement part.
With the ange compartment lid removed and 
prior to disassembly, take time to note the  
orientation of the various components within 
the ange compartment (FIGURE 128). This will  
be valuable later for reference during nal  
assembly. In particular, notice:
  • How the solenoid wires fold over the top and to the at side of the solenoid
  • How, in the Auto position, the at on the side of the solenoid faces to the outside
  • How the pilot valve’s ttings and connected tubing point in a specic direction
  • How the pressure regulator is tucked into position within the compartment 
Selector Cap Removal
The Selector Cap turns the Solenoid when the 
user changes the ON-AUTO-OFF settings. Under 
normal operating conditions, the Selector Cap 
should not need replacement. The Selector Cap 
can become damaged if the incorrect tool  
is used to make ON-AUTO-OFF selection  
adjustments. Prior to removing the Selector Cap, 
notice that the Solenoid wires run over the top 
of the Solenoid and out of the Selector Cap on 
the side of the Solenoid that has the at surface. 
Also note that the Solenoid wires are positioned 
side-by-side and not twisted. To remove the 
Selector Cap, simply li it up and away from the 
Solenoid (FIGURE 129).
