Rain Bird 5000 sprinklers have adjustment screws so you can maximize their efficiency.
Rain Bird 5000 sprinklers use a gear-driven design to water residential and commercial properties. They can water from 25 to 50 feet and have a precipitation or coverage rate of 0.20 to 1.01 inches per hour. The arc, or rotation, can be adjusted from 40 degrees to 360 degrees. The watering radius, or distance, can be reduced up to 25 percent. Rain Bird 5000 sprinklers also allow you to change nozzles for different watering angles and distances. Rainbird 5000 Plus sprinklers are equipped with a flow shut-off. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Turn the radius-adjustment screw. This screw is located in the "radius adjustment socket" located on top of the sprinkler and above the sprayer opening. Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise to decrease the radius or distance and counter-clockwise to increase it.
2. Adjust the Rainbird 5000 sprinkler's arc or rotation. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the arc adjustment slot located on top of the sprinkler. You will see a small plus and minus symbol next to the slot. Turn the screwdriver clockwise to increase the arc and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
3. Change the Rainbird 5000's nozzle. If you would like to change the nozzle to one with a different angle or distance, you can replace the existing nozzle. Back out the radius-adjustment screw by turning it counter-clockwise. Use the pull-up slot to lift the sprinkler's riser or stem. Using the blade of a flathead screwdriver, insert it under the nozzle removal tab and press the handle down. Insert the new nozzle into the nozzle socket. Turn the radius-adjustment screw clockwise to secure the new nozzle. Insert the nozzle's identification plug into the opening on the top of the sprinkler.
4. Turn the sprinkler's water flow off. You can shut the water flow off to Rainbird 5000 Plus sprinklers. This is useful if you wish to disable the sprinkler but do not want to disable other sprinklers in the same watering zone. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the "flow adjustment slot" located on the top center of the sprinkler. Turn the screwdriver clockwise 180 degrees to stop the flow of water. Turning the screwdriver counter-clockwise 180 degrees will start the flow of water.
