Flush: Depress the Locking Lever until the blade disengages from the notch in the Center Barrel. Rotate
the Center Barrel counterclockwise as far as possible to flush. When debris has been cleared, rotate the
Center Barrel back clockwise until the Locking Lever snaps into the notch.
To test wear, repeat the flush operation several times. The Center Barrel should not bind or stick and
Locking Lever should snap into place every time. If either fails, replace the nozzle.
Shutoff Valve: Open and close the shutoff several times. The bale handle should not bind or stick.
Nozzle Sealing: With water pressure on and the shutoff in the CLOSED position, water should not exit
the nozzle through either the discharge or any sealed joints. If leakage or more than 5 drips per minute
occurs, the nozzle should be replaced.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Situation
Solution
Uneven stream pattern or gaps in
stream pattern.
Pattern affected in all stream positions
and affected area does not rotate with
the turning of the nozzle tip.
The most likely cause is debris lodged inside the nozzle.
Flushing the nozzle may correct the issue. Follow the Flush
operation in the Maintenance section. If issue persists, shut
off water and remove the nozzle from the hose. Debris too
large to pass through during flush must be removed from
the inlet of the nozzle.
Uneven stream pattern or gaps in
stream pattern.
Pattern affected in all stream positions
and affected area rotates with the
turning of the nozzle tip.
The most likely cause is damage to the nozzle tip. Inspect
the metal teeth on the end of the nozzle, as well as the
inside face of the nozzle tip. If damage is found, the nozzle
should be replaced.
Leakage at the connection of the
nozzle inlet to the hose coupling
May be caused by a worn gasket in the nozzle inlet.
Replace the gasket and retest the connection. If issue
persists, look for damage to the threads or surfaces that
contact the gasket. If thread or surface damage is found on
either the nozzle or hose coupling, replace accordingly.
