5. Setup and Installation
The Hunter PROS00PRS40 is designed for straightforward installation. It is important to ensure proper connection to your irrigation system for optimal performance.
5.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Ensure the water supply to the irrigation zone is turned off.
- Verify that the existing pipe fitting is compatible with the sprinkler's threaded inlet.
- Confirm you have the correct MP Rotator nozzle (sold separately) for your specific watering needs.
5.2 Installation Steps
- Carefully unpackage the PROS00PRS40 shrub adapter.
- Thread the base of the shrub adapter onto the riser or pipe fitting in your irrigation system. Hand-tighten initially, then use a wrench for a snug fit, being careful not to overtighten.
- Screw the desired MP Rotator nozzle (not included) onto the threaded top of the PROS00PRS40. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Once installed, slowly turn on the water supply to the zone and check for any leaks around the connections.
- Adjust the MP Rotator nozzle according to its specific instructions for arc and radius.
6. Operating Instructions
The PROS00PRS40 is a passive component that regulates pressure for the attached nozzle. Its operation is directly tied to the irrigation system's schedule and the settings of the MP Rotator nozzle.
6.1 System Activation
- Ensure your irrigation controller is programmed correctly for the desired watering times and days.
- When the irrigation zone activates, water will flow through the PROS00PRS40, which will regulate the pressure to 40 PSI before it reaches the MP Rotator nozzle.
6.2 Pressure Regulation
The integrated pressure regulation at 40 PSI ensures that the MP Rotator nozzle operates at its optimal pressure, maximizing water efficiency and uniformity of distribution. This feature helps prevent misting and ensures consistent performance even with varying inlet pressures.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your Hunter PROS00PRS40 shrub adapter.
- Periodic Inspection: Regularly check the sprinkler for any visible damage, cracks, or leaks.
- Cleaning: If the sprinkler appears dirty or clogged, turn off the water supply, unscrew the MP Rotator nozzle, and gently clean any debris from the internal components and the nozzle filter (if applicable). Use clean water and a soft brush.
- Winterization: In regions subject to freezing temperatures, ensure proper winterization of your irrigation system, including blowing out lines to prevent water from freezing and damaging the sprinkler body.
- Nozzle Maintenance: Refer to the specific MP Rotator nozzle manual for its cleaning and maintenance recommendations.
8. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your PROS00PRS40 shrub adapter.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaking from base connection. | Loose connection or damaged threads. | Turn off water, tighten connection. If leak persists, inspect threads for damage and replace if necessary. Use PTFE tape for a better seal. |
| No water or low flow from nozzle. | Clogged nozzle or filter, insufficient water pressure to the unit. | Turn off water, remove and clean the MP Rotator nozzle and its filter. Check main water supply pressure to the zone. |
| Misting or poor spray pattern. | Nozzle issue, or inlet pressure is too high for the pressure regulation to handle (unlikely with PRS40). | Ensure the correct MP Rotator nozzle is installed and properly adjusted. While the PRS40 regulates to 40 PSI, extremely high inlet pressures might still cause issues; verify system design. |
