To adjust Rainbird pop-up sprinkler heads, follow these steps:
Locate the sprinkler head that needs to be adjusted. You can identify it by looking for the area of the lawn that is either overwatered or underwatered.
Turn off the irrigation system to avoid wasting water while making adjustments.
Dig around the sprinkler head with a trowel to expose the top of the sprinkler.
Insert the Rainbird adjustment tool into the slot on top of the sprinkler head. If you don't have the tool, you can use a flathead screwdriver, but be careful not to damage the sprinkler head.
Rotate the adjustment tool counterclockwise to decrease the distance that the sprinkler sprays, or clockwise to increase it.
Adjust the spray pattern by moving the nozzle left or right, depending on which way you want the water to go. You can do this by turning the nozzle by hand.
Check the spray pattern by turning on the irrigation system and observing the sprinkler's coverage area. Make additional adjustments as necessary.
Once you're satisfied with the sprinkler's performance, fill in the hole around the sprinkler head with dirt and pack it down gently.
Turn the irrigation system back on and test the sprinkler again to make sure it's working correctly.
By following these steps, you should be able to adjust your Rainbird pop-up sprinkler heads to optimize the coverage and water distribution in your lawn or garden.
