Adjusting an oscillating sprinkler primarily involves controlling the spray area, which is typically done using adjustment tabs or collars.
Here's how you can adjust your oscillating sprinkler:
-
Locate the Adjustment Tabs/Collars: Oscillating sprinklers usually have tabs or collars on either end of the oscillating arm. These are the primary controls for adjusting the spray area.
-
Adjust the Spray Area: The position of these tabs determines the arc of the water spray.
-
Full Coverage: If you want the sprinkler to cover its maximum area, ensure the tabs are positioned at the widest setting (often, this means they are pointed outwards).
-
Partial Coverage: To reduce the spray area, adjust the tabs inwards towards the center. With a tab positioned straight up in the center, the sprinkler will cover only half of its maximum coverage.
-
-
Fine-Tune for Even Watering: Experiment with the tab positions to achieve precise and even watering across your lawn or garden. Minor adjustments can make a significant difference in coverage.
In summary, adjusting an oscillating sprinkler is simple: find the tabs or collars, and move them to control the width of the spray arc.
