Steps for Nozzle Replacement:

1. Chiudere l'erogazione idrica: Locate the main water shut-off valve for your irrigation system and turn it off to prevent water flow during installation.
2. Rimuovere il vecchio ugello: Gently pull up the sprinkler riser. If replacing an existing nozzle, unscrew the old nozzle counter-clockwise from the top of the sprinkler riser.

4. Installare il nuovo ugello: Screw the Rain Bird 4AP nozzle clockwise onto the top of the sprinkler riser until it is hand-tight. Do not overtighten.

Funzionamento e regolazione

The Rain Bird 4AP nozzle offers easy adjustment for precise watering.

Adjusting Spray Pattern (Arc):

1. Identify Adjustment Collar: The textured yellow collar on the nozzle is used for adjusting the spray pattern.
2. Rotate to Adjust Arc: While the sprinkler is operating, gently rotate the textured collar to increase or decrease the spray arc from 0° (off) to 360° (full circle). The physical left edge indicator helps in setting the starting point.

3. Observe Coverage: Adjust until the desired coverage area is achieved, ensuring water is directed only where needed and minimizing overspray onto sidewalks or driveways.

Adjusting Spray Distance (Radius):

1. Individuare la vite di regolazione: A stainless steel screw is located at the top center of the nozzle.
2. Use a Screwdriver: Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the screw. Turning it clockwise will decrease the spray distance, and counter-clockwise will increase it. The "captured" screw slot prevents screwdriver slippage.
3. Fine-Tune Distance: Adjust the screw until the spray distance is between 3' and 4' as required for your specific area.
