SET UP FOR OPERATION:
1. Install nozzle. If using ring nozzle set,
or taper ring nozzle, install desired ring
size in ring nozzle cap. Assure the ring
is centered. The ring nozzle cap can
be sufficiently tightened by hand.
2. Adjust location of arc stops to give
desired arc of coverage. Stops must
be mounted so that arrows point toward
each other and the trip lever is located
between arrows. If the stops are set
incorrectly on the wrong end of the
arc, the sprinkler will fail to reverse.
3. The SR150 and SRA150 are factory
set for normal rotation speed. If a
faster or slower speed is desired,
move arm weight backward for
faster operation or forward for slower
operation.
4. To vary the trajectory angle of the
SRA150 simply adjust the turn-buckle
and dial in the desired trajectory
using the calibrated scale. Varying
trajectory angle is simple, and can
be used to increase wind-fighting
ability or to avoid obstacles such
as power lines in the field.
