Mine has three adjustments: 1. There is a little twist knob on the side near the nozzle that adjusts droplet size from drops to a mist. You want drops for a lawn, mist for ornamental plants. 2. There is a knob on the top of the nozzle that adjusts the throw (distance) that the sprinkler sprays. It should indicate which way to twist for further or shorter. Sometimes it helps to put a little pressure on the front of the nozzle to help make twisting this knob easier. 3. There are stops on the stem that adjust it from a wedge to almost a full circle. The further you spread them, the bigger the wedge. There is a lever/switch that hits the stops to make the sprinkler reverse. If you want a full circle, you should be able to lift this lever or flip it up away from the stops so that it never hits them.

∙ 12y agoPop-up sprinklers have interchangeable spray nozzles. Some are adjustable, but most are fixed. The adjustable ones have a small set-screw on the top of the nozzle; give it a turn counter-clockwise to increase the throw. You may find, however, that it's already maxed out. In that case, or if it's not adjustable, and you need a longer throw, you'll need to get a nozzle for the next larger radius (the radius is printed on the nozzle; they're also color-coded). They're inexpensive and they come with new screens (naturally, it's a good idea to put in a clean screen when you replace a nozzle). Incidentally, Rain-Bird nozzles fit Hunter pop-ups; Orbit nozzles are different.

How does an impulse sprinkler work?
An impulse sprinkler or 'impact sprinkler', works as follows:- Water enters the bottom of the sprinkler through the bearing nipple, proceeds up through the body and exits out the nozzle. When the water hits the arm, it is propelled out away from the sprinkler. This action causes the arm to pivot away from the water stream, creating tension on the arm spring. When the spring tension is stronger than the force against it, the arm moves quickly toward the water stream and "impacts" against the body. This "impact" causes the sprinkler to turn in a very consistent manner. This is where the term "impact" was derived from.
Why does the sprinkler turn only when the water is on and turns in the direction opposite that of the water?
Newton's third law of motion. The turning of the sprinkler head is the equal and opposite reaction to the water leaving the sprinkler nozzles. The water goes out and the sprinkler nozzle is pushed backward, turning it in a circle because the arm is attached to the middle of the sprinkler. The higher the water flow, the faster the sprinkler spins.
How does a sprinkler system work?
A sprinkler system works by pushing water through a hose or underground water pipes and releasing the water through a sprinkler nozzle. These can be used manually or automatically through electronic systems.

What is a sprinkler manifold?
A sprinkler or "valve" manifold is the heart of a sprinkler system. The water source (hose faucet, sprinkler main line, etc.) feeds into the manifold and then the valves in the manifold redirect water to different watering areas. Its reason for being is that most water sources have insufficient pressure and flow to water all areas at the same time, so the manifold allows watering to be divided into smaller areas or "zones". A simple way to visualize a sprinkler manifold is as a small letter "m" in which the water source connects into the top of the "m" and then a valve in each of the legs opens and closes to allow water to flow to each zone. Valves in a sprinkler manifold may be controlled either manually or automatically using a sprinkler timer or "controller" which is the brains of an automatic sprinkler system.
