ARC ADJUSTMENTS 
(NON-OPPOSING NOZZLE MODEL)
All I-25 group adjustable heads are preset to approximately 180°. 
Sprinklers may be adjusted with water on or off. It is recommended 
that initial adjustment be made before installation.
1. Using the palm of your hand, rotate the nozzle turret counter-
clockwise to left stop to complete any interrupted rotation cycle 
(Fig. 1).
2. Rotate the nozzle turret clockwise to right stop. This is the xed 
side of the arc. The nozzle turret must be held in this position 
for all arc adjustments.
To Increase Arc
1. Insert the key end of the Hunter wrench into the adjustment 
socket (Figs. 2 & 3).
2. While holding the nozzle turret at the right stop, turn the 
wrench clockwise. Each 360° turn of the wrench increases the 
arc 45°.
3. Adjust to any arc between 50° and 360°.
4. Wrench will stop turning, or there will be a ratcheting noise, 
when the maximum arc (360°) is reached.
5. When set to 360°, the sprinkler will rotate continually 
counterclockwise. 
To Decrease Arc
1. Insert the key end of the Hunter wrench into the adjustment 
socket (Figs. 2 & 3).
2. While holding the nozzle turret at the right stop, turn the 
wrench counterclockwise. Each 360° turn of the wrench 
decreases the arc 45°.
3. Adjust to any arc between 50° and 360°.
4. Wrench will stop turning, or there will be a ratcheting noise, 
when the minimum arc (50°) is reached.
Radius Adjustment
Insert the hex end of the Hunter wrench into the nozzle-retainer/
range-adjustment screw (Figs. 2 & 3). Turn the screw clockwise 
into the stream of water to decrease the radius, or counterclockwise 
to increase the radius.
Precipitation Rate Adjustment
Where excessively wet or dry areas are a problem, the 
precipitation rate may be adjusted. Simply replace the existing 
nozzle with a larger one to increase or a smaller one to decrease 
the rate of precipitation.
Nozzle Installation
1. Insert the key end of the Hunter wrench into the lifting socket 
of a pop-up sprinkler. Pull the riser up to gain access to the 
nozzle socket.
2. Using the Hunter wrench, loosen the nozzle-retainer/range- 
adjustment screw. If a nozzle is already installed in the 
sprinkler, it may now be removed by briey turning on 
the water.
3. Discard nozzle if removed with pliers. Slip the desired nozzle 
into the nozzle socket. Note that the socket is angled up 25° 
(see Fig. 4). Tighten the nozzle-retainer/range-adjustment screw.

This sprinkler is designed with an internal device that prevents 
damage to the internal gear drive if it should be turned by 
vandals. This important feature works when the nozzle turret 
is turning in either direction. This makes the sprinkler very 
durable in all applications.
This sprinkler is designed with an internal device that re-aligns 
the arc if it is turned by vandals. This important feature works 
when the nozzle turret is turning in either direction. When 
forced outside of the originally set arc, the sprinkler takes the 
shortest path back to the pattern without going completely 
around. This saves the non-irrigated areas from getting wet! 
Always a good thing!
