4. Setup u Installazzjoni
Follow these steps for proper installation of your impact sprinkler:
- Prepare the Connection Point: Ensure the water supply line or riser has a 3/4" Female Pipe Thread (FPT) connection.
- Applika s-Siġillant tal-Ħjut: Apply PTFE tape or pipe thread sealant to the 3/4" Male Pipe Thread (MPT) inlet of the sprinkler. This helps create a watertight seal.
- Attach the Sprinkler: Carefully thread the sprinkler onto the water supply line or riser. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to tighten an additional 1/2 to 1 full turn. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the threads.
- Pożizzjonament: Place the sprinkler in the desired location, ensuring it is upright and stable. Consider the recommended spacing of 42' - 60' for optimal coverage.
- Fluss Inizjali tal-Ilma: Slowly turn on the water supply and check for leaks. If leaks occur, turn off the water, re-tighten the connection, and re-check.

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The Aqualine I75A sprinkler is designed for part-circle operation, adjustable from 20 to 340 degrees.
5.1. Adjusting the Arc (Part Circle)
The sprinkler's arc is controlled by two trip collars located at the base of the sprinkler head. These collars define the start and end points of the sprinkler's rotation.
- Set the Start Point: Rotate the sprinkler head to the desired starting position of the watering arc. Move one of the trip collars until it aligns with the trip lever at this point.
- Set the End Point: Rotate the sprinkler head to the desired ending position of the watering arc. Move the second trip collar until it aligns with the trip lever at this point.
- Verify Arc: Turn on the water supply and observe the sprinkler's rotation to ensure the arc is set correctly. Adjust as needed.
5.2. Adjusting Spray Distance
The spray distance can be adjusted using the stainless steel deflector plate and the diffuser pin.
- Deflector Plate: The deflector plate can be moved up or down to alter the trajectory and break up the water stream, thereby reducing the spray distance. Lowering the plate generally reduces distance.
- Diffuser Pin: The stainless steel diffuser pin, located in front of the nozzle, can be screwed in or out to disrupt the water stream. Screwing it in further will break up the stream more, reducing distance and creating a finer spray.
5.3. Nozzle Information
This sprinkler is equipped with an 11/64" main nozzle. A lower nozzle is also included for close-in watering, ensuring even coverage near the sprinkler head.
6. Manutenzjoni
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your sprinkler.
- Tindif taż-Żennuna: Periodically inspect the nozzle for clogs from debris or mineral buildup. If clogged, turn off the water supply and carefully clear the obstruction using a small wire or needle. Avoid using sharp objects that could damage the nozzle.
- Lubrikazzjoni: The moving parts of the sprinkler, such as the impact arm pivot and drive spring, are designed for minimal maintenance. However, if movement becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to pivot points. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dirt.
- Winterization: In freezing climates, disconnect the sprinkler from the water supply and drain all water from the unit and supply lines to prevent freeze damage. Store the sprinkler in a dry, protected area during winter months.
- Spezzjoni: Regularly check for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage to the brass body and stainless steel components. Replace damaged parts if necessary.
