2. Positioning the arms
Positioning the spray arms correctly will ensure
proper operation of your sprinkler. Move each
spray arm individually to adjust watering diam-
eter from a minimum of 15 feet to 55 feet.
Wrong–sprinkler will not move

For narrow spray coverage, move the arms so
they are pointing slightly downward.
For wide spray coverage, move the arms so they
are pointing upward approximately 30 degrees.
For windy conditions, move the arms to a hori-
zontal position.
Pointing the arms too far downward will cause
the arms to become stuck and immobilize the
sprinkler.
3. Setting up the hose
Lay up to 200 feet of 5/8” hose in any pattern you
select on lawn that is fully grown–the sprinkler
may not work on new or recently seeded lawns.
Begin by creating at least a three-foot loop with
the end of the hose to prevent pinching when
connecting to the sprinkler. Do not create sharp
turns in the hose pattern.
4. Positioning the shut-off ramp
The shut-off ramp may be used at any point
along the hose pattern to stop the sprinkler.
Place the automatic shut-off ramp over the hose
where you want the sprinkler to stop, ensuring a
minimum of 5 feet of straight hose on either end
of the ramp.
5. Hooking up the sprinkler
Set the sprinkler on the hose so that the front tire
is on the hose and the back wheels are on either
side. Make sure the sprinkler is facing the direc-
tion you would like it to go. Hook up the hose to
the rear of the sprinkler.
6. Setting the sprinkler’s speed
Select a traveling speed by pulling up on and
rotating the dial on the top of the sprinkler. The
sprinkler will travel from 0 to 37 feet per hour
based on setting.
High: Select this speed for faster movement
and light watering
Low: Select this speed for slower movement
and heavier watering
Neutral: Select this speed for no movement;
the sprinkler will remain stationary
and water a designated area.
7. Running the sprinkler
Pull out the stopper underneath the sprinkler
between the back wheels and turn on the water
supply. The sprinkler will move at the speed
indicated along the hose track, stopping when
its shut-off plunger contacts the ramp stop.

8. Stopping the sprinkler
When the sprinkler comes in contact with the
shut-off ramp, the incline causes the stopper to
be pushed up, stopping the sprinkler.
9. Moving the sprinkler
Before repositioning the hose and moving the
sprinkler to another part of the lawn, be sure to
turn off the water first. Eliminate excess pressure
from the hose and pull the sprinkler’s stopper
back out before beginning again in a new area.
It will be very difficult to move the stopper back
down if water pressure remains in the hose.
10. Cleaning up
To keep the Orbit®Heavy-Duty Traveling
Sprinkler operating within peak parameters,
be sure that the filter washer at the hose
coupling and the spray arms remain clean and
unblocked. Consistently drain the sprinkler after
each use by standing it on end for at least five
minutes to ensure all water is eliminated from
the sprinkler’s interior.
11. Preventing sprinkler damage
Use caution when picking up and moving the
sprinkler–dropping it could potentially result
in damage to the sprinkler or its parts. Do not
force the sprinkler to move faster or slower
along the track while it is in operation. Do not
let the sprinkler become mired in thick grass or
mud. Be sure there are no objects blocking the
path of the sprinkler. The sprinkler is designed
to move across grass only–never attempt to use
the sprinkler on concrete driveways, sidewalks,
or other hard surfaces. Doing so may result in
severe damage to the motor assembly.
