THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING RAIN BIRD.

We are aware that you have a choice, and we are happy you chose Rain Bird.

This manual shows how to perform common installation and maintenance procedures. If you have any comments or questions please call your local Rain Bird distributor.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE TIPS

• To avoid debris problems, flush the system before installing the ROTOR on the swing joints.
  If debris gets in the line, flush the line.

• For ACME thread rotors, you must use an ACME thread swing joint assembly. DO NOT use plumbers tape or pipe dope. Do not tighten completely against swing joint fitting. (Turn the rotor back counter-clockwise one-quarter (¼) of a turn from tightened position.)

• Rain Bird does not recommend using metal fittings with Rain Bird Rotors. If metal fittings must be used, hand tighten only.

• Rain Bird Rotors may be installed at ground level in all soil types.

• For SAM/hydraulic rotors used in hydraulic configurations; before you connect the hydraulic tubing, make sure you bleed the air from the tube of the hydraulic control module.

• On electric and IC models, be careful to prevent any debris from entering the Pressure Regulating System when working on the valve or replacing the selector stem.

• For part-circle applications, locate the fixed left edge by rotating the nozzle turret counterclockwise.
