Step 1

Grasp the top of the 6000 sprinkler stem with your fingers and pull up to expose the nozzle socket. Wrap the supplied clamp around the base of the stem where it meets the underground housing to hold the stem in place.

Step 2

Slip the supplied wrench over the 6000 spray head and pop the head off like a bottle cap. Insert the wrench into the nozzle retaining screw inside the stem, and unscrew it. Insert the desired nozzle into the nozzle socket. Different nozzles produce different precipitation rates.

Step 3

Place the supplied 6000 Click-Set Disk on top of the arc collar inside the stem with its black side facing up, and push until it clicks. The Click-Set Disk overrides the arc collars so the sprinkler rotates in a continuous circle when the system is active.

Step 4

Remove the Click-Set Disk from the top of the arc collar to set boundary points for the 6000 sprinkler rotation. Twist the stem until the nozzle is centered on the desired watering area and insert the Click-Set Disk back into place with the gray side facing up.

Step 5

Remove the Click-Set Disk from the 6000 if the memory ring isn't settled into it correctly. The memory ring keeps the settings in place during normal operation and can be viewed from the top of the Click-Set Disk. Twist the ring back into place and replace the Click-Set Disk.

Step 6

Turn the water on to confirm your settings. Insert the wrench into the nozzle retaining screw and clamp it tighter by turning it clockwise if you wan to reduce the water projection range. The screw must down far enough to clear the spray head.

Step 7

Snap the spray head cap back on top of the stem, insert the wrench into the screw in the dimple of the cap and turn it clockwise to tighten the cap.

What is a pop up sprinkler?

Pop-up sprinklers are designed for use in lawns and other areas of turf, such as golf courses, that need frequent mowing. The entire sprinkler body remains in the ground until the water pressure forces it up, which protects it from being damaged by mowing or foot traffic.

Remove and turn sprinkler disk

Examine your sprinkler head. You should see a click-set disk near the nozzle. Remove this disk with your hand, and then turn the sprinkler manually. Continue to adjust it this way until the nozzle is centered on the new area you want the sprinkler to spray.

Replace the click-set disk

Using your hand, put the click-set disk back onto the sprinkler head. This makes sure that it sprays with the same consistency as it had before. The collars of the click-set disk can be adjusted so that the angle of the spray changes.

Adjust the memory ring if necessary

Check if your sprinkler has been turned past the regular set pattern. If so, the memory ring around the sprinkler head may have moved away from its original position and popped out of place. To fix this, simply remove the disk, and rotate the memory ring. Eventually, you should hear a clicking sound as the tab locks the ring into place.
