8. Stopping the sprinkler
When the sprinkler comes in contact with the
shut-off ramp, the incline causes the stopper to
be pushed up, stopping the sprinkler.
9. Moving the sprinkler
Before repositioning the hose and moving the
sprinkler to another part of the lawn, be sure to
turn off the water first. Eliminate excess pressure
from the hose and pull the sprinkler’s stopper
back out before beginning again in a new area.
It will be very difficult to move the stopper back
down if water pressure remains in the hose.
10. Cleaning up
To keep the Orbit
®
Heavy-Duty Traveling
Sprinkler operating within peak parameters,
be sure that the filter washer at the hose
coupling and the spray arms remain clean and
unblocked. Consistently drain the sprinkler after
each use by standing it on end for at least five
minutes to ensure all water is eliminated from
the sprinkler’s interior.
11. Preventing sprinkler damage
Use caution when picking up and moving the
sprinkler–dropping it could potentially result
in damage to the sprinkler or its parts. Do not
force the sprinkler to move faster or slower
along the track while it is in operation. Do not
let the sprinkler become mired in thick grass or
mud. Be sure there are no objects blocking the
path of the sprinkler. The sprinkler is designed
to move across grass only–never attempt to use
the sprinkler on concrete driveways, sidewalks,
or other hard surfaces. Doing so may result in
severe damage to the motor assembly.
