TO SELECT NOZZLE:
Insert Adjustment Key (I)
into Nozzle Selector (B)
and turn to desired nozzle.
The RPS Select is designed to conserve
water by matching the ow rate to the arc.
The following settings are recommended:
NOTE: The RPS SELECT Gear Driven Sprinkler
has a xed right start and an adjustable left stop.
POSITIONING NOZZLE TURRET TO ITS “RIGHT START”
Place your ngers on the top center of the nozzle turret (G).
Rotate the turret counter-clockwise to the left stop to
complete any interrupted rotation cycle. Rotate the nozzle
turret clockwise to the right start. This is the xed side of
the arc. The nozzle turret must be held in this position for
arc adjustments. The right start does not change.
ADJUSTING THE RIGHT (FIXED) SIDE OF ARC
If the right side of the arc is not properly aligned, the
sprinkler may spray areas not intended for watering such
as driveways or adjacent properties. The right side arc can
easily be realigned.
OPTION 1: REPOSITION CAN ON THE FITTING
Turn the sprinkler can (H) left or right to the desired position.
This may require temporary removal of the soil around the
sprinkler to allow you to grip the sprinkler can.
OPTION 2: REMOVE INTERNAL RISER ASSEMBLY
AND REPOSITION
Unscrew the top (J) counter-clockwise and remove the
Sprinkler Assembly (K) from the can. Once removed with
nozzle turret (G) at its right start, reposition the sprinkler
assembly so that nozzle arrow (A) points to the desired
start position. Replace the sprinkler assembly back in the
can and screw on the top. At this point you have realigned
the right arc start, and you can adjust the left arc to your
desired setting.
ADJUSTING THE LEFT (VARIABLE) SIDE OF ARC
SETTING THE ARC
Insert Adjustment Key (I) into the arc adjustment slot (D).
While holding the nozzle turret (G) at the right start, turn the
Key (I) until the Arc Indicator (E) shows the desired radius.

INSTALL AND BURY
Do not use pipe dope. Thread the sprinkler on the pipe. Bury the
sprinkler ush with the ground. NOTE: Gear driven sprinklers and
pop-up sprays should not be installed on the same watering zone.
INSPECTING THE FILTER
Unscrew the top (J) and lift complete sprinkler assembly (K)
out of can (H). The lter is located on the bottom of sprinkler
assembly and can be easily pulled out, cleaned and re-installed.
WINTERIZATION TIPS
When using an air compressor to remove water from the system
please note the following:
a. Do not exceed 30 PSI.
b. Always introduce air into the system gradually to avoid air
pressure surges. Sudden release of compressed air into the
sprinkler can cause damage.
c. Each zone should run no longer than 1 minute on air.
Sprinklers turn 10 to 12 time faster on air than on water.
Over spinning rotors on air can cause damage to the
internal components.
