1. General
Use of this manual assumes that you are experienced in the eld of irrigation. We have therefore kept
these instructions brief and included only the information that it is imperative for you to have to use this
product.
Any warranty claims can be accepted only if the sprinkler is used in accordance with these operating
instructions and if any defect emerges within the warranty period.
We reserve the right to make changes in line with technological advances without prior notice.
2. Safety
ese operating instructions contain some fundamental instructions that must be followed when
installing, operating, servicing and maintaining the sprinkler. It is therefore imperative that these
instructions are read by the installation contractor(s) and the relevant specialized sta / operators prior
to installation and startup.
Attention must be paid not just to the general safety information set out in this ‘Safety’ section, but also
to the special safety instructions included in the other sections.
2.1. Use of symbols in these operating instructions
Where failure to follow safety information can place individuals at risk, such information is specically
marked in these operating instructions with the following symbols:
!
General warning symbol (hazard)
Warning of potential hand injuries
Warning of potential automatic start-up
Where failure to follow this safety information can damage the sprinkler and/or impair its function, you
will see the word: WARNING!

2.2 Proper use
e sprinkler is used for the even distribution of water onto lawns, green spaces and sports elds laid
with natural or synthetic turf. Source water should be pre-ltered and free of any coarse or brous
contamination. e water and ambient temperatures must be within the limits specied in the technical
data (see Section 4).
2.3 Clearly improper use
• Operation of the pop-up sprinkler by unauthorized personnel.
• Operation of the sprinkler before the arc has been properly set, or when the arc has been altered
without authorization (e.g., as a result of vandalism). is can result in the water being directed away
from the target irrigation area.
2.4 Safety information
!
Read the operating instructions, especially the safety information, before starting any work
on or with the sprinkler.
e specic safety instructions appear at the start of each section.
2.5 Dangers of failing to observe safety instructions
Failure to observe safety instructions can result in serious injury and/or damage to the sprinkler and
surrounding environment. Failure to observe safety instructions can lead to the loss of warranty rights.

5.1 Hazard warnings
!
If any debris get into the sprinkler, it is possible that the sprinkler could be damaged or
destroyed. Flush out the line thoroughly before connecting the sprinkler to the water supply.
!
Any unexpected incidents at start-up can lead to serious injury from the jet of
water. Make sure the installation has been completed before turning on the
water supply.
5.2 Installation instructions
• e inlet thread connection on the TS120 pop-up sprinkler is 1½" NPT.
• For the thread seal, use a sealing compound and/or material (e.g., Teon tape). Please be sure your
sealing compound of choice is compatible with all materials at the point of connection.
• e pop-up sprinkler should be installed in accordance with the TS120 sprinkler installation diagram
(see next page). In order to avoid any load pressure on the main line, use a recommended Toro
adjustable swing joint or other pressure compatible exible connection.
• Providing a drainage pit directly connected to the drainage, as shown in the installation diagram, is
strongly recommended.
• For screwing in the connection joint, the housing or housing edge of the pop-up sprinkler can be
rmly held or clamped.
