Rotor

In cold climates, protect sprinkler from freeze damage by

installing a drain valve to bottom inlet.

Ensure Even Coverage

To ensure that each area of your lawn receives the same

amount of water (uniform coverage), install the nozzle

indicated in the chart to the left to correspond with the full

or part-circle spray pattern. Irritrol nozzles feature Matched

Precipitation Rates to allow sprinklers with dierent

patterns to be zoned together, in which each sprinkler

delivers matching amounts of water.

For new installations, avoid dry spots and areas of over-

watering by spacing sprinklers so their patterns overlap.

Use the guidelines in the accompanying chart and position

sprinklers as shown for optimum coverage.

Space sprinklers for head-to-head coverage.

The Irritrol TITAN™ Impact Rotor is a sprinkler system component designed for efficient and uniform lawn irrigation. This user guide provides comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the device.

Function Description

The Irritrol TITAN™ Impact Rotor's primary function is to distribute water across a lawn or garden area in a controlled and even manner. It achieves this through a rotating spray pattern, which can be adjusted to cover full circles (360°) or part-circles (20° to 340°), depending on the specific layout requirements of the irrigated area. The device utilizes various nozzles, each designed to deliver a specific flow rate and spray radius, ensuring that different zones of a lawn receive the appropriate amount of water. The "Matched Precipitation Rates" feature of Irritrol nozzles is crucial for achieving uniform coverage, allowing sprinklers with different spray patterns to be zoned together while delivering consistent water amounts. This prevents dry spots and over-watering, contributing to healthier landscapes and efficient water usage.

Usage Features

The Irritrol TITAN™ Impact Rotor offers several user-friendly features that enhance its adaptability and ease of use:

Flexible Installation: The sprinkler can be installed flush with the ground, and its water supply can be connected from either the bottom or the side inlet. An included plug is used to seal the unused inlet. For cold climates, the manual suggests installing a drain valve to the bottom inlet to protect the sprinkler from freeze damage, highlighting its suitability for diverse environmental conditions. The installation process also involves filling the hole with gravel covered by a layer of soil, ensuring stability and proper drainage.
Adjustable Spray Patterns: A key feature is the ability to adjust the spray pattern to match the specific layout of the irrigated area.
- Full Circle (360°): For full-circle coverage, users simply flip the "trip lever" up. This allows the sprinkler to rotate continuously, covering a complete 360-degree arc.
- Part Circle (20° to 340°): For part-circle coverage, the trip lever is flipped down. The desired arc is then set by adjusting the "sprinkler collars." The angle between these collar handles determines the arc the sprinkler will water, offering precise control over the irrigation area. This flexibility is essential for watering irregularly shaped lawns or areas adjacent to structures, preventing water waste and damage.
Nozzle Selection and Replacement: The device supports a range of nozzles, categorized by flow rate and spray radius, to optimize water distribution. The "Performance Data" chart in the manual provides detailed specifications for standard and low-angle (LA) nozzles, including pressure, radius, flow, and precipitation rates. This data empowers users to select the most appropriate nozzle for their specific needs. Replacing a nozzle is a straightforward process:
1. Remove the top cover cap with a screwdriver.
2. Remove the top cover with needlenose pliers.
3. Pull the rotor arm aside to expose the nozzle.
4. Rotate the nozzle tab down to release the old nozzle.
5. Remove the old nozzle and replace it with a new one.
6. Turn the nozzle tab clockwise to lock the new nozzle in place.
7. Push the top cover back into place.
8. Install the top cover cap. This ease of replacement allows users to adapt the sprinkler's performance as their landscape needs change or to replace worn-out nozzles.
Spray Distance Reduction: The Irritrol TITAN™ Impact Rotor includes a "radius reduction screw" that allows users to reduce the spray distance (radius) by up to 25%. Turning the screw clockwise into the stream reduces the radius, while turning it counterclockwise increases it. This feature provides fine-tuning capabilities, enabling users to adjust the watering area without changing nozzles, which is particularly useful for avoiding overspray onto non-lawn areas or when specific areas require less water.
Optimized Low-Flow Nozzle Performance: For users employing orange or red low-flow nozzles, the manual advises moving the "Adjustment Spring" to a specific position (Figure 7, B) for best operation. This detail ensures that even specialized nozzles perform optimally, maximizing efficiency and coverage.

Maintenance Features

The Irritrol TITAN™ Impact Rotor is designed for durability, but regular maintenance is essential to ensure its long-term performance. The manual outlines several key maintenance and troubleshooting tips:

Lubrication Guidelines: A critical maintenance instruction is to "Do not use oil, grease, or pipe dope on sprinkler." This guidance is vital for preventing damage to internal components and ensuring the smooth operation of the sprinkler's moving parts. Using inappropriate lubricants could lead to clogs or material degradation.
Debris Inspection: Users are advised to "Check sprinkler nozzle for debris." Over time, small particles, dirt, or mineral deposits can accumulate in the nozzle, affecting the spray pattern and reducing efficiency. Regular inspection and cleaning of the nozzle help maintain consistent water distribution.
Valve and Timer Function Checks: The manual recommends checking the "Check valve function" and "Check timer function." The valve ensures proper water flow and prevents backflow, while the timer controls the irrigation schedule. Verifying the proper operation of these components is crucial for the overall efficiency and reliability of the irrigation system. Any malfunction in these areas can lead to inconsistent watering or water waste.
Ensuring Even Coverage: The guide emphasizes the importance of "Ensuring Even Coverage" by spacing sprinklers so their patterns overlap. This design principle, often referred to as "head-to-head coverage," ensures that every part of the irrigated area receives uniform water distribution, preventing dry spots and promoting healthy plant growth. The "Matched Precipitation Rates" of Irritrol nozzles further support this by allowing different sprinkler patterns to be zoned together while delivering consistent water amounts. For new installations, adhering to these spacing guidelines is paramount for optimal performance.

In summary, the Irritrol TITAN™ Impact Rotor is a versatile and user-friendly sprinkler system designed for efficient and customizable lawn irrigation. Its robust features, including adjustable spray patterns, easy nozzle replacement, spray distance reduction, and clear maintenance guidelines, make it a reliable choice for maintaining healthy landscapes. The emphasis on "Matched Precipitation Rates" and proper sprinkler spacing underscores Irritrol's commitment to water conservation and effective irrigation.
