- Gwiriwch Bwysedd Dŵr: Ensure your irrigation system operates within the recommended pressure range for sprinkler nozzles. Excessive pressure can lead to misting and uneven coverage.
3. Cyfarwyddiadau Gweithredu
Adjusting the arc and radius of your 18VAN nozzle allows for precise watering.
- Addasiad Arc:
To adjust the arc, turn on the water supply to the sprinkler. While the nozzle is spraying, hold the nozzle body steady and rotate the textured collar at the top of the nozzle. Rotate clockwise to decrease the arc and counter-clockwise to increase it. The arc can be set anywhere from 0 to 360 degrees.
- Radius Adjustment:
The spray radius (distance) is adjusted using the stainless steel screw located on the top of the nozzle. Turn the screw clockwise to decrease the radius and counter-clockwise to increase it. The nozzle is designed for a radius range of 14 to 18 feet. Adjust the screw until the desired throw distance is achieved.
- Optimizing Water Distribution:
For optimal water distribution, especially in areas with slopes or compacted soils, consider selecting nozzles with lower precipitation rates. In windy conditions, nozzles with a low exit trajectory are recommended to minimize drift. To ensure even watering, use nozzles with equalized precipitation rates across your system.
