Adjusting a Hunter Rotor: Rotor Right Stop Adjustment
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- With a rotor tool, its easy to adjust the left stop, but ever wonder how to adjust the right stop after install? Mike from Hunter technical support will show you two ways to adjust your Rotor Right Stop. This technique works for all rotors including Hunter's popular PGP, PGP-Ultra, PGJ and SRM. (we also have a quick tip video about how adjusting the arc and radius of Hunter rotor • How to Adjust a Hunter... )

This was by far one of the clearer explanations I have happened across thus far. Great camera work, image clarity, and verbal articulation. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Finally!! Someone who knows how to clearly and simply explain something! With excellent video to go along with it! Well done! Subscribing...
Glad it helped!
What a FANTASTIC explanation of how to adjust these, I’ve been having a BEAR of a time trying to do this. Thanks SO much. 😊
After 10 years, it is still a lifesaver🙂 Thank you Hunter!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, like other readers I played around with adjusting my PGP for hours. Finally gave up and just put a cinder block to stop excess swing/throw. Every spring I vowed to figure it out...this year is gong to be different I thought....nope this went on for 6 years. I even bought a new sprinkler head and read the instructions on the inside to no avail, guess I had to see in action. All they would have had to say is that the right stop is not adjustable unless you tighten threads or lift up and realign gears. Again thank you !!!!!!!!
To anyone out there, a word of warning: in this video the large, black plastic ring he unscrews at 3:20 to remove the inner barrel/sprinkler riser loosens up with hardly any effort. IF this same ring on your Hunter I-20 sprinkler head has not been removed in a long time, there is a high probability that as you crank on the ring counterclockwise to loosen it, instead of "only" the ring coming loose, the ENTIRE sprinkler, (meaning the inner barrel/sprinkler riser, the ring AND the outer barrel) may come loose from your water feed line below the entire sprinkler assembly. How do I know? This happened to me today when trying to remove the inner barrel to set the right stop of the arc. I then put the entire sprinkler assembly in a vise and tried to loosen the ring with a pair of channel-locks. No dice. I then tried loosening the ring using 2 channel-locks gripping the ring and the outer barrel. Still no dice. The bottom line is I couldn't get the ring off (to remove the inner barrel/riser) without crushing / completely destroying the outer barrel. When I called Hunter Tech Support the guy I talked to said that in order to NOT have the entire sprinkler assembly come loose he digs down BELOW the ring and puts a pair of channel-locks on the outer barrel and then twists (either by hand or a second pair of channel-locks) the ring loose. Bottom line: be prepared for the ring on your sprinkler to NOT come loose as easy as in this video. Sorry for the long post but maybe this will help someone out there.
That’s common sense tho. I work at a soccer complex so we’re always replacing head. You need to dig about 10 inches to be able to get the guts out of the sprinkler head. Other wise yeah the whole unit spins and you might get a leak or the whole head just popping out of the ground.
Outstanding video. After viewing, I was able to achieve what our association landscapers could not for the last 5 years. Now the heads on my property are all properly aimed. Thank you Hunter Industries.
Omg this was so helpful for a sprinkler newbie! Thank you for saving me $$ and not needing to call a landscaper!!! DIY is the best!
I had been struggling with my Hunter heads after trying to follow the directions that came with purchase, but fortunately I found this video and finally I was able to put it all together in my head, and made all adjustments in 5 minutes, after what had been hours of frustration. Thank you for this video.
Ditto! Trying to adjust with the spray flying is hilarious for my wife to watch, but a drenching for me. Thank you!
Great video, hunter sprinklers have been the Bain of my existence but no more
I work with Hunters everyday and this actually helped me a little as I did not ever know of the second technique which can come in quite handy at times. The Hunter channel is one of the most informative on youtube. Please keep posting vids!!!
This was exactly what i needed. I’ve been messing with these screws for days with no result. Now i learned that the sprinkler doesn’t need to be running to adjust it, and no need to wait to see how it turns after changing a setting. Now i know exactly what to do 👍 But maybe i broke some heads already. Will see.
Great video. I tried looking through the instructions and they seemed a little challenging. I adjusted 6 Hunter heads today and they all went well so thank you very much for helping the instructional video.
I am familiar with Rain Bird adjustments but I never could figure out Hunter until today! Excellent explanation Thanks
Glad to help!
Perfect! Appreciate the "two methods" to adjust the right stop; some other videos just say to tight the whole rotor sprinkler clockwise, which could crack the rotor bottom or the underlying threaded riser if the rotor was fully tightly screwed on already.
I have been trying to figure out the right stop adjustment for several days on one of my heads. So far, this video has saved my last nerves. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
This was the Gold Standard by far, of how to adjust these Hunter PGP heads! Bravo,,,,
Thanks for watching!
I like using Hunter PGP’s because it’s a fair price and they last a long time. I actually enjoy my customers having a tiny service bill. Makes me feel like I’ve done quality work. They last 10-25 years easy. Not sponsored by hunter.. Over 20 years experience and I’m 36 years old.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Very helpful!
Had a new fence installed and I didn’t want the old heads hitting it and leavings water marks. Made the adjustments and now there perfect. Thank you
You're welcome
I would love to say big thanks to this video and that man. That's exactly what I needed for weeks. I had tried to call the sprinkle company to come and fix it but they did not show up.
After watching it, I know how to adjust both the left stop and esp the right stop. I watched soany videos but they just showed how to turn the left ones only.
Excellent!
Thank you so much. It’s so simple after your video. I had to unscrew the top and reset the unit. Thanks for keeping me from breaking the threads trying to over tighten to get the right stop set...
The best instructions I have watched. Thanks. Definitely was not going to pay anyone to adjust mine for me. Appreciate it.
This is the best adjustment tutorial I have watched so far. Thank you, heading out to the front yard.
By far the best video on how to properly adjust the sprinkler heads.
Agreed. Been messing with these for years, and now I know how to adjust the heads! Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! You have made this process crystal clear!!!
You are so welcome!
Awesome! I work for an irrigation company and I have to explain this to people a lot.
Thanks, dude! I had to take it apart as described in the second part of the video. Worked just as you described. Now my stairs don't get watered!
Glad it helped!
Had this system put in 18 months ago and needed a few new heads. Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial.
The best video I’ve seen, thank you! After hours researching and trying to adjust our irrigation after we build new patio, you explained it in 17 seconds
Thank you
Thank you for the clear instructions. I first tried a different brand but gave up after much frustration. I then went an bought a Hunter, with your clear instructions, it was easy to make the necessary adjustments
The best I have seen to adjust Hunter sprinkler ❤️
Thank you
I just want to say thank you so much. You helped me totally understand how is sprinkler works!
Super helpful. Straight to the point. No weird intro or TH-camisms. Great video.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Excellent video!! The trickiest part is the Hunter instructions do not inform you how to adjust the fixed right stop in correct position before you go ahead and adjust the arc via the left stop adjustment.. took me 3 mins after watching this video
Thanks so much for this video! I just bought three of these sprinklers to replace weathermatics and was stumped
on how to adjust them.
Finally a video that explains the adjustment clearly.
That was the simplest instructional video I have seen in regards to this adjustment. I would have loved to have seen this video first and not wasted my time on others. Thank you!
Just like what everyone is saying, this is the best instruction ever.
So glad it's helped!
10000% awesome video dude made my life soooooo much easier and real basic way that makes sense to a person to adjust the hunter head.awesome thank you for this great advice.
Glad to hear it!
You made my life so much easier and saved me a bundle. Thank you. The best instructional video ever!!
Best Hunter sprinkler head adjustment video ever!! Thx!!
This helped a lot! Thanks mate, from Australia 🇦🇺
You're welcome
This is really great and exact. I was trying to follow the instruction that comes with the product but to no avail. I am actually planning to return it today but would defer doing it after I saw this video.
Good video. Note that, to make the left stop INCREASE its distance, you turn the leftmost setting CLOCKWISE -- someting I find a bit counter-intuitive.
Also, Hunter or someone makes a small white plastic collar that goes around the sprinker AFTER it has been raised with the little tool. The purpose is so that you don't have to hold it up using one hand to offset the spring. Then both hands are available instead of getting fatigue from counteracting the spring. That is handy for changing the NOZZLE -- which is not accessible unless the sprinkler is raised -- and is not shown in this video.
What a great tool! Hunter makes a Nozzle Insertion Collar (123200SP) that will hold up a rotor while it's being serviced. You can order one from your local Hunter distributor.
Thank you excellent video directions - so easy when the directions are clearly explained.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude, I have been looking for this video for ages!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do it. Good job. Thanks, Chuck
You save my day thank you
Thanks for this very concise and well explained video. Was able to easily adjust my sprinkler heads.
I'm replacing all my rotor heads with Hunters. Just completed the first station with 7 heads. Replacing Nelsons and Rain Birds could not have gone any easier. The adjustment is so simple with the Hunters. Thanks for a great product looking forward to the next station being replaced.
I have had mine for years and never realized you can adjust these when the water is off.....I get soaking wet everytime I mess with my system.
Nothing like a beached whale running out of the way of the sprinkler. My neighbors must get a good laugh.
Good Video Thanks
FINALLY!! Thank you for the great video.
Probably should have the right stop adjustment info in the owners manual. Just saying.
Best video I watched. Showed me all the adjustments. and what part of the key to use.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent much much better than the written directions thank you and I subbed and upped.
Very helpful, and nicely done video!
Thanks i official have stopped giving hundreds to others and fix my sprinklers myself!❤
That's great!
Yes the best instruction. Clear and simple. Great job! Thanks
This was the best video I've watched to explain how to do this and was very helpful thank you so much!!!!!
Glad it helped!
Great video and explanation, thanks!!
You're welcome!
Great job explaining how to adjust a rotor.
Timeless video...doing this today
Thanks for watching!
Best explanation I have seen
Thank you
Excellent instructions
Hopefully the distance is as easy. Nice video! Ty!
Thanks for watching!
The best explanation ever..thank muchhhhhhh.
You are welcome!
Thank you! Just what I needed to know for my new system!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you. As a single woman, I pay my landscaper $55/year to adjust the sprinkler heads. If I see brown spots and call him back, I may have to pay additional. This video really helped. It took a few views and some trial and error to understand the "right side" concept and how all arc adjustment must follow the right side. I did have some difficulty moving it. But in the end, I learned something and feel confident that I can perhaps tackle replacing heads when necessary. One thing I am noticing. .. When the system shuts down, the head takes about 2 minutes to slow to a stop and then it needs to be pushed down. Is this normal or is there a way to fix this as well?
Thank you, very clear instructions
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for video, which is so clear to understand the procedure.
thanks for the video. just installed a new head and adjusted 2 others.
Awesome video! Very clear and concise.
Glad it was helpful!
This video was very helpful, thank you!
You are so helpful and thorough thank you..
Great clear instructions! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! This was clear and to the point!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm confused, you said that the raised rubber arrow is the area that is used to adjust to the right or to the left. I thought that that area could only adjust the water that comes out. Basically to let it flow straight out or more like a spray. I thought that you are suppose to use the hole that has the plus and minus for adjusting the head swivel.

Thumbs Up! ! Great video - so well demonstrated and explained. Thank you so much.
Thank you
that was a great explanation! my ex thought he knew what he was doing rather than looking on TH-cam and ruined my my sprinkler heads!
That is why he is your ex I believe...lol
Excellent video - I should have watched this before going out and trying to set them while they were running ;-)
Thank you for the easy and precise explanation. One question please, how do i get the sprinkler to water closer to the head, it sprays far away and makes puddles and 3 feet near the head it is barely wet. Same problem with the MP rotator. I have chosen Hunter for all the sprinkler heads and I need some help.
Industry standards call for head to head coverage, helping provide a more uniform sprinkler coverage. A head that has a 15 ft radius would have the next head spaced 15 ft away.
thumbs up for creativity; utmost blessings!
Thanks for the visit
Just what I needed, thanks so much!!!
Happy to help!
Do you also have a video on cleaning these? Mine has stopped rotating and has a pool of water developing around it. I think that means it needs to be cleaned right?
Finally found a video with my exact model! Thank you for this
Thank you for contacting Hunter Technical Support.
If the sprinkler is no longer rotating and the water flow coming out of the sprinkler has decreased, you can first try cleaning out the filter by removing the pop-up assembly from the main body. The cap can be threaded off and the internal assembly removed. www.hunterindustries.com/support/residential-rotors-rotor-stopped-rotating
@@Hunter_Industries thanks so much for this! I’ll give these instructions a try. Great customer service!
Excellent video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Thank you! Very informative and to the point.
very good video! very good instruction and in focus! Thanks. (now to go buy that stinkin key, sure wish they had given me one).
Thanks for watching!
Awesome. Helpful and well explained. Great work.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for a simple and great explanation.
Great video! Just what I needed!!
Awesome! thank you for watching!
Where can I buy that tool, or do I need to make one? Idiots at this apartment just put these in recently and they're hitting windows and balcony. If I complain it would still take weeks and seeing is a bit of complexity in this product no way these idiots could adjust it, probably make it worse. The location is for a bed of rocks, kinda weird I've never heard of watering rocks, IDK maybe to keep them shiny or something. Thanks for you video! I was about to adjust it with a 10lb hammer, now I'll just fix another mans job. Thanks again!
Great video that was informative - thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Great explanation, thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped!
Best explanation. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Good video.. Informative
Awesome video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you good explanation
Glad it was helpful!
When inner body is pulled up with key is there a way to lock it in that position? It would make pre-adjustment in hand easier prior to install & in more comfortable position than when working at ground level.Be easier than trying to hold it up & adjust rotation while holding against spring tension.
Thank you for contacting Hunter Technical Support.
The nozzle insertion collar can be used if necessary. Visit the video here. th-cam.com/video/HSV3EERHhfg/w-d-xo.html
Great video! My i20 doesn’t have a cap to unscrew. How do I get the inner assembly out? I need to adjust my right stop.
Thank you for contacting Hunter Technical Support.
You do not need to remove the cap to make rotor adjustments. The cap on an I-20 has the same openings for an adjustment tool.
Thanks for a Great Video.
To me the instructions that come with the head is not very helpful, nothing written just confusing pictures.
Now I adjust them like a pro.
Great. So what if the right stop is too far right?
You'll want to rotate the entire head to set the right side as shown here: th-cam.com/video/d4c0IjeyYek/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dJ5mWgGXHootULxk&t=92
Congrats for making a product that is so ridiculously complicated, that I am taking all of mine out and putting in impacts. And I have 17 stations and tons of sprinklers. I should NOT have to go thru all this just to make some simple adjustments.
Every sprinkler needs some adjustment. These are really simple.
These are really simple to adjust
Thank you. Very useful video: great instruction in detail but no babbing! You are very articulated. 🤭
Glad it was helpful!
