3. Instrucións de funcionamento
The Rain Bird 32SA rotor offers simple top adjustments for both arc and spray distance using a flat-bladed screwdriver.
3.1 Adjusting Arc (Pattern)
- Turn on the water supply to the sprinkler.
- Rotate the shaft of the rotor by hand to the right until it stops, then to the left until it stops. This establishes the fixed left edge of the watering pattern.
- Turn the entire rotor body until the fixed left edge is aligned with where you want the sprinkling pattern to begin.
- The rotor is factory preset to rotate 180 degrees from this left starting point. To change the arc from 40° to 360°, use a flat-bladed screwdriver to adjust the pattern screw located on the top of the rotor. Turn clockwise to decrease the arc and counter-clockwise to increase it.
3.2 Adjusting Spray Distance
The rotor comes with a preinstalled 3.0 GPM nozzle, rated for a throw distance of up to 32 feet at common residential water pressure (45 PSI). You can reduce the throw distance by up to 35 percent by turning the distance adjustment screw located above the nozzle with a flat-bladed screwdriver. Turn the screw clockwise to decrease the distance.
