Orbit Voyager II 55072 Operating instructions

Brand: Orbit

Model: Voyager II 55072

Type: Operating instructions

Orbit Voyager II 55072 is a versatile sprinkler that offers a wide range of adjustment options to meet your specific watering needs. With its pre-set 180° rotation, you can easily customize the arc to water any area between 40° and 360°. The adjustable radius allows you to fine-tune the coverage area, ensuring efficient watering without waste.

This sprinkler is designed for both pop-up and above-ground installations, making it suitable for various landscaping scenarios. The pop-up model features a riser that can be adjusted to ensure the sprinkler head is flush with the ground level, while the above-ground model allows you to choose a riser height that clears surrounding vegetation.

Pre-Set the Rotation

Voyager IF' sprinklers are preset to rotate

approximately 180°. Sprinklers may be

adjusted with water on or off. It is rec-

ommended that initial adjustment be

made before installation.

Using the palm of you hand, rotate the

nozzle turret counterclockwise to the

left stop to complete any interrupted

rotation cycle.

(See

Figure 1.)

Rotate the nozzle turret clockwise to

the right stop. This is the fixed side of

the arc. The nozzle turret must be

held in this position for all arc adjustments.

To Increase the Arc

Insert the plastic end of the Orbit' key

(Model 55070) into the pattern adjustment

socket.

(See Figures 2 & 5.)

While holding the nozzle turret at the right

stop, turn the key clockwise. Each full turn

of the key increases the arc 90°.

Adjust to any arc between 40° & 360°.

When the maximum arc (360°) is

reached, the key will stop turning or there

will he a ratcheting noise.

To Decrease the Arc

Insert

the plastic end of the Orbitm key

into the pattern adjustment socket.

(See Figures 2 & 5.)

While holding the nozzle turret at the right stop, turn the

key counterclockwise. Each full turn of the key decreases

the arc 90°.

3. Adjust to any arc between 40° and 360°.

When the minimum arc (40°) is reached, the key will stop

turning or there will be a ratcheting noise.

Sprinkler Installation

Flush Lines

I. Turn the water on to thoroughly flush the lines of dirt and

debris before installing any sprinkler heads.

Install the Sprinkler Head

Complete steps 1 and 2 under "Pre-Set the Rotation".

2. Pop-Up

(Model 55060)

Select and install a riser to obtain the

proper height.

(See Figure

3.) When the sprinkler is buried

the cap should he flush with the finish grade.

Above Ground

(Model 55062)

Select and install a riser height

so the sprinkler spray will clear

surrounding vegetation.

Thread the sprinkler onto the

riser. When the threads are

snug, visually orient the arrow

on top of the cap so that it points

at the right stop (See Figure 4) by turning the entire sprin-

kler head on the riser. When the water is turned on, the

sprinkler turret will begin to rotate toward the left stop.

Note:

Do not

use

pipe dope on the threads. If necessary, use

Teflon

tape.

Space adjacent heads for overlap-

ping head-to-head coverage.

Radius Adjustment

Insert the metal hex end of the Orbit'

key into the distance adjustment

socket.

(See Figure

5.) Turn the screw

clockwise (into the stream of water) to

decrease the radius, or counterclock-

wise to increase the radius. (Do not

rotate the screw too far either way or

the nozzle or screw may come out.)

Precipitation Rate Adjustment

For excessively wet or dry areas, the precipitation rate can be

adjusted: replace the existing nozzle with a larger one to increase

the rate or a smaller one to decrease the rate of precipitation.

Note:

not necessary

to disassemble the

sprinkler

to make

adjustments.

Nozzle

Installation

Pop-Up

(Model 55060)

I. insert the plastic end of the

Orbit® key into the lifting socket

(See

Figure 5) of the sprinkler.

Pull the riser up to gain access to

the nozzle socket.

2. While holding the riser up with

one hand

(See Figure 6),

remove the key from the lifting

socket and insert the metal hex end into the distance adjust-

ment socket. Loosen the adjustment screw far enough to

clear the nozzle. If a nozzle is already installed in the sprin-

kler, it can he removed by briefly turning on the water, or by

pulling on one of the nozzle "ears" with needle-nose pliers.

3. Slip the desired nozzle into the nozzle socket. Note that the

socket is angled up 25°. Also note that the "ears" should be

located at the top.

(See

Figure

6.)

Rotate the adjustment

screw in far enough to secure the nozzle.

Above Ground

(Model 55062)

Tab

Insert the metal hex end of

the Orbit' key into the dis-

tance adjustment socket

(See

Figure

5) of the sprinkler.

Loosen the adjustment screw

far enough to clear the noz-

zle. If a nozzle is already

installed in the sprinkler, it can

be removed by briefly turning

on the water or by pulling on one of the nozzle "ears" with

needle-nose pliers.

Slip the desired nozzle into the nozzle socket. Note that the

socket is angled up 25°. Also note that the "ears" should be

located at the top.

(See

Figure 6.)

Rotate the adjustment

screw

in far enough to secure the nozzle.

Cleaning the Filter:

Pop-Up

(Model 55060)

To access the filter, unscrew the sprinkler from the riser.

Unscrew the cap and remove the cap/spring assembly from

the body

Above Ground

(Model 55062)

To access the filter, hold the sprinkler's base ring with one

hand while unscrewing the sprinkler body with the other

(Do not unscrew by grasping the upper nozzle turret.)

The filter can be pulled out from the bottom of the assem-

bly and cleaned. Use pliers, if necessary.

Pop-Up

(Model 55060)

Replace the filter and screw the cap/spring assembly back

on the sprinkler body Reinstall the sprinkler on the riser,

being careful not to disturb the surrounding soil.

Above Ground

(Model 55062)

Replace the filter and screw the sprinkler body back on the

sprinkler base. Reinstall the sprinkler on the riser.

Winterizing Your System:

In freezing climates, your sprinkler system must be drained

prior to freezing to prevent damage.

Turn off the water supply

Open all valves and manual drains to allow water to escape

(compressed air can be used to completely purge the system

of water).
