Do not rotate the rotor case past the left edge, as this can damage the case. The instructions to set the fix left edge will work for the Rain Bird 2SA, 42SA, 42SA+, 52SA Series.
For example, if you want the water to spray towards the right, rotate the head to the right. If you want the water to spray more to the left, rotate the head to the left.
Be careful not to turn the screw so far that it goes into the head. It should sit just in front of the nozzle so the head is secure. The spray distance on Rain Bird models is 19 to 32 feet (5. 8 to 9. 8 m). If you want the distance to be any higher or shorter, you will need to change the rotor nozzles or adjust the water pressure.
Adjust the spray pattern while the sprinkler is on so you can determine how much of an increase or decrease you want. Adjusting the spray pattern is useful if you want to water a certain area of your lawn or spray only to a certain point in your yard.
There will also be a screw in the center of the plus and minus symbol.
You may want to change the sprinkler nozzle if it stops working properly. You can also remove the nozzle and check the filter screen if the water dribbles or does not spray properly. You can then clean it or change it.
If the filter screen is old or in rough shape, replace it with a new one. You can buy filter screens for the Rain Bird sprinkler at your local hardware store or online. You can use a standard sprinkler filter screen for all Rain Bird sprinkler models.
You can buy a new nozzle online or at your local hardware store. Look for the Rain Bird nozzle that matches the Rain Bird sprinkler model you own.
