K-Line™ G-Set™ irrigation

K-Line™ G-Set™ Irrigation
G-Set is a solid set fixed system that minimizes “labor” for the
day to day operation of irrigation.
It is suitable for all land areas, and is not restricted by the
shape, terrain, size or topography.
The controller is an individual, battery operated unit. The
G-Set units are to be synchronized and programed prior to
installation and any future adjustments are done individually
or on a group basis.
This installation manual is a guide to the best practice of
installing G-Set. Failure to follow these instructions can
lead to instability and poor performance.

G-Set is an irrigation ‘system’, and to
achieve the desired outcome, must be
approached and treated as such, and
not an accumulation of components.

K-Line™ G-Set Unit Installation
The system is comprised of a main-line telescoping through the property,
feeding 2” sub-mains.Your dealer design map will show sub-mains with
“T”s attached approximatley 3 feet adjacent to the predetermined G-Set
locations. The G-Set locations are designed around layout coverage and
terrain. A 40mm feed line will extend from the “T” to the G-Set side entry.
The main and sub-main pipes are to be installed (trenched in) below
maximum frost level. A combination of a GPS survey and visual
assessment will be required to ensure correct placement of the G-Set to
achieve the desired coverage (DU).

During the install of the sub-main,
2” x 2” snap “T”s with 2” x 1 1/2” slip x thread
bushings would have been glued 3’ adjacent to
and angled towards the GPS location chosen
for the G-Set.

A 40mm Male adapter (KLAMC40) with a
length of 40mm tubing long enough to reach
1 foot above the ground surface are to be
tightened into this threaded bushing. Enough
room must be left at this hole to flex the
40mm tubing to the G-Set. This hole will be
completely filled in when finished.
2
It is desirable to dig the hole required for the G-Set no bigger than
necessary to allow the installation and compaction of soil around the
pod.The larger the hole, the harder and more time consuming it is to
get good compaction and secure placement.

K-Line™ G-Set™ Unit Installation
1
Before starting the sub
assembly, find the 1 1/2” x 11”
long nipple and 1 1/2” base
plug in the parts pack and apply
teflon tape to the threaded ends.
2Next the sprinkler, valve and
base are to be pre-assembled
with the shell before the G-Set is
positioned in the hole. Screw the
11” nipple into the perpendicular
hole of the threaded “T” at the
base of the assembly as pictured
in the diagram at right using two
pipe wrenches. Tighten firmly
with one pipe wrench holding the
internal pipe assembly.
3Lay the G-Set shell on it’s side and
insert the assembly into the shell.
Line up the 11” nipple portion of
the valve assembly into the 2” hole
in the side and very bottom of the
shell. While holding this assembly
in place, line up the bottom hole
of the threaded “T” in the valve
assembly with the center hole in
the bottom of the shell. Insert the
base plug through the bottom of the
shell from the outside and screw it
into the threaded “T” at the bottom
of the valve/nipple assembly.
Tighten the base plug firmly to
secure the pipe assembly to the
G-set housing.
4
Next tighten the sprinkler to the valve
assembly. Then finally attach the
1 1/2” x 40mm female adapter elbow
onto the end of the 1 1/2” nipple after
applying teflon tap on the threads.

A 14” deep hole should be dug at the GPS location per
the dealer plan. This hole should be approximately 36”
from the 2” PVC sub-main “T”. Compact the hole opposite
the connection side so the G-Set fits tightly into the hole.
(You will need room on the connection side to attach your
40mm feed pipe.)
Lower the G-Set pod into the hole while
lining up the 40mm entension with the elbow
adapter on the G-set. Mark the pipe length
required while the G-set is positioned correctly
in the hole. (Normally, you will have to cut
some of the 40mm tubing to fit). Lift the G-Set
out of the hole. Cut the 40mm pipe to the
determined length. Ensure all below ground
connections are tight. Insert the G-Set back
into the hole while lining up the 40mm pipe to
the compression fit 90° angle adapter. Check
to see that your 40mm tubing is seated deeply
into its connector before tightening. Ensure the
rim of the pod is parallel with the lay of the land
for optimum sprinkler coverage. Back fill and
compact hole. The side G-Set holes should be
at ground level.

3Locate the first half of the
cover/support (The one with the rectangular
indent in the bottom) and place it into the
pod with the dish/indent facing either south
or the best orientation to capture maximum
sunshine hours. Then loosely screw it into
place using the screws provided. (This cover
will be tightened after the controller cables
are fed through in a later step.) The assembly
should now be ready to install the control
system.

Drill a 1 1/4” hole at the back of the rectangular updent
to mount the solar panel. Ensure that the solar panel
faces the best solar collection direction. Generally this
will be southerly. The best outcome generally is a bit to
the West of South, or East of South.

K-Line™ G-Set™ Solenoid Wiring Assembly
Using the included wire nuts, you are
able to connect the solenoid (latch)
coil to the controller.
Connect black latch wire to black
controller wire and the green latch
wire to the red controller wire. This
is achieved by the use of the wire
nuts included.
Red to green wire
Black to black wire
This is how the C1013 controller should be mounted.
Installing the Connectors
1. Strip wires ½"
2. Align frayed strands or conductors
3. Do not pre-twist. Place stripped
wires together with ends even.
4. Twist connector onto wires pushing
firmly until hand-tight.
DO NOT over torque
5. Swipe excess sealant in and
around conductors.
Do not reuse

Locate the second half of the cover/sprinkler
support and screw into place ensuring the
base of the sprinkler is firmly held around the
orange slip ring on the sprinkler. Three screws
are supplied to attach the second cover half.
Install the stockguard on the shell with the four
remaining screws and the unit is ready to use.

NOTE: If using a battery drill to install the screws, avoid
stripping the plastic shell of the G-set by not over-tightening.
Install the bearing in the center hole of the
stock guard. This black plastic bearing is
designed to keep cattle from pushing down
on the guard and collapsing the guard onto
the sprinkler.
