HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2013
- With a rotor tool, its easy to adjust the left stop, but ever wonder how to adjust the right stop after install? Mike from Hunter technical support will show you two ways to adjust your Rotor Right Stop. This technique works for all rotors including Hunter's popular PGP, PGP-Ultra, PGJ and SRM.

This was by far one of the clearer explanations I have happened across thus far. Great camera work, image clarity, and verbal articulation. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Just like what everyone is saying, this is the best instruction ever.
I work with Hunters everyday and this actually helped me a little as I did not ever know of the second technique which can come in quite handy at times. The Hunter channel is one of the most informative on youtube. Please keep posting vids!!!
To anyone out there, a word of warning: in this video the large, black plastic ring he unscrews at 3:20 to remove the inner barrel/sprinkler riser loosens up with hardly any effort. IF this same ring on your Hunter I-20 sprinkler head has not been removed in a long time, there is a high probability that as you crank on the ring counterclockwise to loosen it, instead of "only" the ring coming loose, the ENTIRE sprinkler, (meaning the inner barrel/sprinkler riser, the ring AND the outer barrel) may come loose from your water feed line below the entire sprinkler assembly. How do I know? This happened to me today when trying to remove the inner barrel to set the right stop of the arc. I then put the entire sprinkler assembly in a vise and tried to loosen the ring with a pair of channel-locks. No dice. I then tried loosening the ring using 2 channel-locks gripping the ring and the outer barrel. Still no dice. The bottom line is I couldn't get the ring off (to remove the inner barrel/riser) without crushing / completely destroying the outer barrel. When I called Hunter Tech Support the guy I talked to said that in order to NOT have the entire sprinkler assembly come loose he digs down BELOW the ring and puts a pair of channel-locks on the outer barrel and then twists (either by hand or a second pair of channel-locks) the ring loose. Bottom line: be prepared for the ring on your sprinkler to NOT come loose as easy as in this video. Sorry for the long post but maybe this will help someone out there.
That’s common sense tho. I work at a soccer complex so we’re always replacing head. You need to dig about 10 inches to be able to get the guts out of the sprinkler head. Other wise yeah the whole unit spins and you might get a leak or the whole head just popping out of the ground.
Finally!! Someone who knows how to clearly and simply explain something! With excellent video to go along with it! Well done! Subscribing...
Glad it helped!
Omg this was so helpful for a sprinkler newbie! Thank you for saving me $$ and not needing to call a landscaper!!! DIY is the best!
I had been struggling with my Hunter heads after trying to follow the directions that came with purchase, but fortunately I found this video and finally I was able to put it all together in my head, and made all adjustments in 5 minutes, after what had been hours of frustration. Thank you for this video.
Ditto! Trying to adjust with the spray flying is hilarious for my wife to watch, but a drenching for me. Thank you!
Great video, hunter sprinklers have been the Bain of my existence but no more
Thank you excellent video directions - so easy when the directions are clearly explained.
Perfect! Appreciate the "two methods" to adjust the right stop; some other videos just say to tight the whole rotor sprinkler clockwise, which could crack the rotor bottom or the underlying threaded riser if the rotor was fully tightly screwed on already.
Had this system put in 18 months ago and needed a few new heads. Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, like other readers I played around with adjusting my PGP for hours. Finally gave up and just put a cinder block to stop excess swing/throw. Every spring I vowed to figure it out...this year is gong to be different I thought....nope this went on for 6 years. I even bought a new sprinkler head and read the instructions on the inside to no avail, guess I had to see in action. All they would have had to say is that the right stop is not adjustable unless you tighten threads or lift up and realign gears. Again thank you !!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for this video! I just bought three of these sprinklers to replace weathermatics and was stumped
on how to adjust them.
The best instructions I have watched. Thanks. Definitely was not going to pay anyone to adjust mine for me. Appreciate it.
The best video I’ve seen, thank you! After hours researching and trying to adjust our irrigation after we build new patio, you explained it in 17 seconds
Thank you
Outstanding video. After viewing, I was able to achieve what our association landscapers could not for the last 5 years. Now the heads on my property are all properly aimed. Thank you Hunter Industries.
Dude, I have been looking for this video for ages!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do it. Good job. Thanks, Chuck
Thank you so much. It’s so simple after your video. I had to unscrew the top and reset the unit. Thanks for keeping me from breaking the threads trying to over tighten to get the right stop set...
You made my life so much easier and saved me a bundle. Thank you. The best instructional video ever!!
Thank you for the clear instructions. I first tried a different brand but gave up after much frustration. I then went an bought a Hunter, with your clear instructions, it was easy to make the necessary adjustments
Very helpful, and nicely done video!
This was the Gold Standard by far, of how to adjust these Hunter PGP heads! Bravo,,,,
Thanks for watching!
This is the best adjustment tutorial I have watched so far. Thank you, heading out to the front yard.
I just want to say thank you so much. You helped me totally understand how is sprinkler works!
Awesome! I work for an irrigation company and I have to explain this to people a lot.
Yes the best instruction. Clear and simple. Great job! Thanks
Great job explaining how to adjust a rotor.
I've changed out many sprinkler heads over the years... but I was frankly shocked at how well this method worked. The sprinkler came out exactly as described in the video, with a perfect hole waiting for the replacement head. Awesome
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this video! Very helpful!
Everything works perfectly now!
That was the simplest instructional video I have seen in regards to this adjustment. I would have loved to have seen this video first and not wasted my time on others. Thank you!
By far the best video on how to properly adjust the sprinkler heads.
Agreed. Been messing with these for years, and now I know how to adjust the heads! Thank you!
Thanks for a simple and great explanation.
Excellent much much better than the written directions thank you and I subbed and upped.
This was exactly what i needed. I’ve been messing with these screws for days with no result. Now i learned that the sprinkler doesn’t need to be running to adjust it, and no need to wait to see how it turns after changing a setting. Now i know exactly what to do 👍 But maybe i broke some heads already. Will see.
Great video. I tried looking through the instructions and they seemed a little challenging. I adjusted 6 Hunter heads today and they all went well so thank you very much for helping the instructional video.
This helped a lot! Thanks mate, from Australia 🇦🇺
You're welcome
Thanks for this very concise and well explained video. Was able to easily adjust my sprinkler heads.
I have been trying to figure out the right stop adjustment for several days on one of my heads. So far, this video has saved my last nerves. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
The best I have seen to adjust Hunter sprinkler ❤️
Thank you
Best Hunter sprinkler head adjustment video ever!! Thx!!
Thanks i official have stopped giving hundreds to others and fix my sprinklers myself!❤
thanks for the video. just installed a new head and adjusted 2 others.
This is really great and exact. I was trying to follow the instruction that comes with the product but to no avail. I am actually planning to return it today but would defer doing it after I saw this video.
Thank you very much for video, which is so clear to understand the procedure.
Thank you! Very informative and to the point.
Super helpful. Straight to the point. No weird intro or RUclipsisms. Great video.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I would love to say big thanks to this video and that man. That's exactly what I needed for weeks. I had tried to call the sprinkle company to come and fix it but they did not show up.
After watching it, I know how to adjust both the left stop and esp the right stop. I watched soany videos but they just showed how to turn the left ones only.
Excellent!
Finally a video that explains the adjustment clearly.
Best explanation I have seen
FINALLY!! Thank you for the great video.
Probably should have the right stop adjustment info in the owners manual. Just saying.
This video was very helpful, thank you!
Very helpful for this novice. Thanks!
Excellent instructions
Great, clear instructions. Thanks much!
Thanks, dude! I had to take it apart as described in the second part of the video. Worked just as you described. Now my stairs don't get watered!
Glad it helped!
Had a new fence installed and I didn’t want the old heads hitting it and leavings water marks. Made the adjustments and now there perfect. Thank you
You're welcome
Great Video Explains everything TKS
I was dumbfounded how simple this "magic" adjustment technique actually was. An extraordinarily helpful video tutorial. Quick, concise and straight to the point. The only thing I'm still uncertain about is where would I get this rotor tool. Could a small screwdriver be used instead? Thank you so much.
Bloody brilliant!
You are so helpful and thorough thank you..
Very informative, really nice video!
Thank you! Just what I needed to know for my new system!
Thanks for watching!
This was the best video I've watched to explain how to do this and was very helpful thank you so much!!!!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for the easy and precise explanation. One question please, how do i get the sprinkler to water closer to the head, it sprays far away and makes puddles and 3 feet near the head it is barely wet. Same problem with the MP rotator. I have chosen Hunter for all the sprinkler heads and I need some help.
The best explanation ever..thank muchhhhhhh.
You are welcome!
Thank you. Great help. I've got one head where the tool simply can't locate the square hole to adjust the radius. Any thoughts. I'm assuming it's clogged with debris.
Awesome. Helpful and well explained. Great work.
Glad it was helpful!
Really appreciate this video thank yku
Awesome video! Very clear and concise.
Glad it was helpful!

Helped me alot today. Thanks for the assistance!!
thumbs up for creativity; utmost blessings!
Thanks for the visit
Thumbs Up! ! Great video - so well demonstrated and explained. Thank you so much.
Thank you
Excellent video!! The trickiest part is the Hunter instructions do not inform you how to adjust the fixed right stop in correct position before you go ahead and adjust the arc via the left stop adjustment.. took me 3 mins after watching this video
Great video! Just what I needed!!
Awesome! thank you for watching!
Best video I watched. Showed me all the adjustments. and what part of the key to use.
Thanks for watching!
Hopefully the distance is as easy. Nice video! Ty!
Thanks for watching!
Sweet! Thx
Thank you. Nicely explained.
You are welcome!
Excellent video - I should have watched this before going out and trying to set them while they were running ;-)
Thank you good explanation
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I'm replacing all my rotor heads with Hunters. Just completed the first station with 7 heads. Replacing Nelsons and Rain Birds could not have gone any easier. The adjustment is so simple with the Hunters. Thanks for a great product looking forward to the next station being replaced.
Great video that was informative - thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Good video. Note that, to make the left stop INCREASE its distance, you turn the leftmost setting CLOCKWISE -- someting I find a bit counter-intuitive.
Also, Hunter or someone makes a small white plastic collar that goes around the sprinker AFTER it has been raised with the little tool. The purpose is so that you don't have to hold it up using one hand to offset the spring. Then both hands are available instead of getting fatigue from counteracting the spring. That is handy for changing the NOZZLE -- which is not accessible unless the sprinkler is raised -- and is not shown in this video.
What a great tool! Hunter makes a Nozzle Insertion Collar (123200SP) that will hold up a rotor while it's being serviced. You can order one from your local Hunter distributor.
Best explanation. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great explanation, thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped!
I like using Hunter PGP’s because it’s a fair price and they last a long time. I actually enjoy my customers having a tiny service bill. Makes me feel like I’ve done quality work. They last 10-25 years easy. Not sponsored by hunter.. Over 20 years experience and I’m 36 years old.
Timeless video...doing this today
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I have had mine for years and never realized you can adjust these when the water is off.....I get soaking wet everytime I mess with my system.
Nothing like a beached whale running out of the way of the sprinkler. My neighbors must get a good laugh.
Good Video Thanks
Super helpful!
Thank you
Best Video yet on how to adjust a Hunter PGP. questions for Hunter in regards to the Head and Assembly that sits in the Cavity/Container piece. Is there a rubber gasket that could corrode after 10 years? One of my sprinkler heads was spraying water from this area causing low pressure output at the nozzle. Ensuring it was free from debris and no visible cracks, I was unable to hand tighten enough to prevent leak. Another unit I have, I am unable to unscrew the assembly. Thinking they were not to be opened, I was able to minimize leaking in the first unit by over tightening it with pipe wrench and vice. (using caution not to crack or damage the unit) How tight should it be? Thanks!
Hello Hunter,
The rotor that was installed in the corner of the grass next to the driveway has been driven over by a truck. While the sprinkler head is not damaged in any way and is still fully functional, it has put a tilt in the canister and is no longer vertical (or 90° from the horizontal ground). When the rotor has water pressure behind it and it pops up, it is at about a 75° angle which throws off the arc and it sprays directly into the ground about about 2 or 3 feet away from the rotor. While I could adjust the arc, it would still be a bit wonky.
How do you recommend I fix the tilted canister? Do I need to dig it up and fix the angle when I put the ground back around it? I am afraid that, if I did too deep, I will cut into the water lines. Do you have a diagram of how the water lines are hooked up to the canisters?
Thank you very much
Any tips on cleaning/replacing the spray nozzle ?
One nozzle on the rotor head just refuses to deliver the water even though the head pops up. The other two rotors in the station sequence work fine.
Thank you!
Can you unscrew the top of the sprinkler like you did in the second technique while the line is pressurized or will it spray water everywhere and empty out your entire line?
