I've got a sprinkler, that's kind of screwed up.
This is the date today and I'm.
Gonna go to manual start and the way you do is you go to your box, you open it up your Rain, Bird or whatever this is.
Is it Rain, Bird yeah, so we're gonna go here: I'm, gonna click! This sprinkler is in the second zone, so I'm gonna go to - there.
It is right now we're gonna go check it out all right.
So this is my problem with this sprinkler.
As you can see it's sprinkling in one spot, it's not rotating like the ones over here.
They rotate and I need this thing to go from this angle here, because this grass is dying and sweep all the way over to this side.
So we're gonna try to make it so it goes 90 degrees, as you can see just a 90 degree turn right now.
It's just going on one spot so looks like we're.
Gonna replace this one and I bought two of them.
I bought this one, which I think is the one I'm gonna use, which is a half-inch, and this is 3/4 and what it says is this: is the k2 easiest sprinkler to set so we're gonna find out if that's the truth or not in just a moment? Okay, so anyway, I got some gloves on cuz.
I want to get my fingers too dirty, and here is our sprinkler, so I got to get it out of there, and so we're gonna have to dig some of this grass away just to get at it and it's one of the big ones.
So what I got to do is chop this out a little bit then we can always put it back in, but we got to get it out of there.
So we can get work with the tank so anyway hold that there close all right, as you can see it's deep in there and it's the big one- and you can see you know, start position supposed to be to the left, so this one's all screwed up.
So this start position supposed to be the left, so we got to get the dirt out of here.
First, that's what I'm gonna do and then we're gonna unscrew it gotta be able to get our hands around it, so dig around it until I can get to get a good grip on it and we're gonna dig that baby out of there there's a worm.
This is really good soil.
All right, I'm, gonna, speed up this digging part, because that's just way too boring for you guys to watch I got to get the thing completely dug out.
I got to dig all the way down about six or seven inches to get to the bottom of it.
This is a three quarter one.
So it's one of the big ones and it's the k2 pro all these roots are stuck in it.
That could be one of the problems all right.
It's coming! Undone! So you to get it off.
You got to go counterclockwise counterclockwise when you do get it out of there when I, lift it very gently.
Is that waters gonna go in there all right, here's our other one.
It's a little bit bigger and the way it's gonna work is I've got to put this facing directly.
That way- and this is my angle so once I put this in there, I'm gonna have to lift this up using the key I'm going to insert the key there pull the thing up, hold it and turn it so that this little itty bitty arrow is pointing directly at my start, my left start position, my left start position and then it'll move to the other side.
So that's how we do it all right, we're gonna, try it.
You might be able to just to set it right in there and do it.
Let's see now to install it, you need to turn it clockwise until it tightens up.
We get lucky.
Maybe it'll finish in the left start position, but it doesn't look like it's gonna.
Do that, maybe okay! So right now, our arrow is showing this way.
So I've got to lift this with the key and turn the arrow.
So it's perfectly in this direction.
Alright! So the way you do it is you have to get this key.
That comes with it.
You're gonna set it in there and then what it does is you turn it sideways like that, I'm gonna, pull this up and I grab it all right then turn it counterclockwise all the way back around counterclockwise there we are.
That should be it right there.
Other question is: did we do it right all right, so we got it at 90.
Let's turn it just a little bit all right now, we're gonna go turn it on and see.
If it works, you hang in there right back, so it seems to be working seems to be working all right.
So here's our art see if it comes all the way.
We wanted to come all the way, even with the tide here see if it does see if it gets there, BAM perfect now up too far too far see how far it goes going way too far.
Actually, we've got to change that all right, so we've got too much of an arc here, so you've got to switch it and change it.
Just a bit I think we'd be able to do that just by turning.
This I want to come right to here right on the edge here and then what we're gonna do is we're going to change the flow direction.
Almost there a little bit farther nope all right, so you got it pull this a little bit.
This way! That's what this comes here.
You should come here and now we got to see if that works.
Now we want it to stop right here right there.
Well it you know, it's gonna keep going, keeping going.
Let's see how far it goes, all right, good, I'm, very close! So now, if I turn this a little bit more there we go that should do it.
Let's get watch the angle and there we are right on the edge, that's where we want to be almost too far, but going way too far, all right so I've got it.
I've got to cut this down this angle, down a little bit so grab my key first I've lost the key I have no idea where the key I put it in my pocket.
Oh there, it is what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna switch.
This I'm hoping I, could just do it while I'm doing it, I'm gonna cut it off just a little bit just I, just put it like a hair on it.
So we'll see what happens, took the hair off.
Keep going, I need to stop right about, even with that it goes past it I've got to fix it, yep still going past it a little bit better though so now we're gonna, pull it a little bit more.
This way.
Yes, she does let it run through its cycle.
Alright, so let's just get one good run there.
It is on that angle.
Let's see how she goes back here, we've got to get it, so it comes directly even with the side.
You can see it shooting all the way across the yard, and we need to get that baby directly.
Even with she comes, don't want it to go past the sidewalk stop right there in Reverse, okay, it looks good all right, I think we got it.
We figured it out.
Apparently, that's not exactly 90 degrees on our line, all right or there's a recalibration needs to be done in this thing.

FAQs
How to remove, install and adjust a K2 Pro Sprinkler Head? ›
If your sprinkler isn't turning properly, try cleaning the filter. If sand or debris gets into the rotors gear drive it will wear out prematurely and at this point the entire head will need to be replaced.
Why is my K rain k2 Pro not rotating? ›If your sprinkler isn't turning properly, try cleaning the filter. If sand or debris gets into the rotors gear drive it will wear out prematurely and at this point the entire head will need to be replaced.
Do you need a special tool to adjust sprinkler heads? ›There are many types of sprinkler heads and each one has different patterns or uses. The most common types are stationary, rotor, pop-up, and pulsating sprinkler heads. You'll need a flat-head screwdriver and possibly a few other tools to adjust the heads.
Is it easy to adjust sprinkler heads? ›Fortunately, adjusting a spray head is pretty simple, in most cases. At the top of most spray nozzles is a small screw that is used to adjust the head itself. Using a small screw driver, you'll need to either tighten or loosen this adjustment screw to achieve your desired results.
Why won t my sprinkler head oscillate? ›Highlights. The poor rotation may be caused by debris trapped in the sprinkler head. Your water filter might need to be cleaned or replaced. Poor water pressure can affect sprinkler head rotation.
Why is my K rain sprinkler head not popping up? ›Clogged sprinkler heads: You may have a clogged sprinkler head if the head doesn't rise and there is no water. Dirt, sand and other debris build up in the sprinkler head filters. To clean a filter: Turn off your water, lift the pop-up riser, remove the nozzle and the filter, clean the filter and return to the nozzle.
Why won't my sprinkler head move? ›The most common reason relatively new sprinkler heads won't go down is that there is dirt or debris caught inside the sprinkler head. Dirt, grass clippings, leaf pieces, and small rocks can become lodged in the small space between the pop-up nozzle and the body of the sprinkler.
What is the little screw on the top of the sprinkler head? ›At the top of the nozzle, you will find a small screw. Use a flat-headed screwdriver to turn the screw to reduce or extend the radius of the nozzle opening. Set the arc position by adjusting the stem to cover the spray distance you need.
Why are my sprinklers not spraying far enough? ›Clogged Head
If you discover your sprinkler not spraying far enough, it could be that the head is clogged. Especially if you have an in-ground system, lawn mower clippings and debris from rain and storms can get caught in the head of the sprinkler and block the flow of water.
Screw a PVC pipe cap directly onto the system.
Place the cap on the threads that the sprinkler head was screwed into. Rotate the PVC pipe cap counterclockwise to secure it onto the system. Screwing a PVC pipe cap onto your sprinkler system will turn off that specific sprinkler head.
How much does it cost to cap off a sprinkler head? ›
Professional sprinkler head replacement costs $65 to $90 each on average. A new sprinkler head cots $2 to $12 per head for DIY replacements. The cost to install an additional sprinkler head is $90 and $110 each. Replacing or relocating sprinkler heads for an entire lawn costs $375 to $425.
What does the screw on top of the sprinkler head do? ›This is even more common when garden owners have two different sprinkler heads watering the same section of lawn. Luckily, fixing these distance and angle errors is very straightforward as most sprinkler manufacturers have an adjustment screw that stops the water coming out from a pop-up head.
Why is my rotary sprinkler head not rotating? ›The most common reason for a sprinkler to stop rotating is the accumulation of debris in the filter. This video will teach you how to clean the filter on your rotors. Hunter rotary sprinklers operate on a “gear drive” system.
Should sprinkler heads be level? ›The top of the new sprinkler head should be level with the ground, not with the grass.
What are the different types of sprinkler heads? ›There are three basic sprinkler head types– Spray Irrigation Heads and Spray Rotary Sprinkler Heads, Bubbler Irrigation Heads, and Drip or Soaker Systems. Each different sprinkler head will water your plants in the particular way they like.
What angle should a sprinkler nozzle rotate? ›Sprinkler nozzles with contraction angles ranging from 20° to 60° produced approximately equal pattern radii and similar water application profiles, but the pattern radius was significantly reduced for contraction angles above 60°. The optimum inner contraction angle is about 30°.
Can you interchange sprinkler heads? ›Most pop-up sprinkler head types are interchangeable as long as the threading of the heads match up.
How do you move an existing sprinkler head? ›Place the sprinkler head in it's new location. You want the top of the head just level with the ground—neither too high (it'll get hit by the mower) nor too low (it won't water well). Adjust the spray pattern or change the nozzle as necessary. Turn on the sprinkler zone to be sure it works and you don't have any leaks.
