Constructing Swing Joints
1. Construct or provide triple swing joints for each sprinkler as shown in Figure 1. Use PVC
or ABS pipe nipple for the sprinkler connection.
Note: On sites where the possibility of heavy equipment rolling over a sprinkler exists,
the swing joint will flex preventing damage to the lateral or main lines. On a new
installation in raw ground where the sprinklers are to be initially installed above the
finished grade and lowered when new turf is established, the swing joint allows sprinkler
repositioning without changing risers. This is a common and practical procedure which
eliminates the problem of dirt being accidentally introduced into the lateral lines when a
riser is changed.
2. Flush lines thoroughly prior to installing sprinkler.
3. Apply plumbingtape on riser threads (not required on ACME threads). Install sprinkler to riser and tighten.
CAUTION: Use only plumbing tape on riser threads. Use of pipe dope or other types of sealing compounds can cause
deterioration of sprinkler body threads.
Connecting Control Wires (Electric Models Only)
1. Route control wires to sprinklers. Provide extra wire at sprinkler to allow for height adjustment. One common wire and station
wire is required for each sprinkler. See Wire Sizing Chart, Table 1 for proper application.

WARNING
NEVER STAND OR LEAN OVER THE SPRINKLER WHILE THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS BEING FILLED,
DURING MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC OPERATION OR WHEN PERFORMING SPRINKLER SERVICE
PROCEDURES. DIRECT CONTACT WITH IRRIGATION SPRAY, A FAILED OR IMPROPERLY INSTALLED
SPRINKLER CONNECTION OR SPRINKLER COMPONENTS FORCIBLY EJECTED UPWARD UNDER
PRESSURE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
1. Use jockey pump only to fill the system at a velocity fill rate of less than 2' (0.61 m) per second.
CAUTION: Failure to comply with recommended fill rate will increase line pressure resulting in a water hammer
effect that could damage sprinklers and piping components.
2. Use quick coupler keys at all tees and greens with quick coupler valves to bleed air from the system lines during the filling
process. For best results, do not compress air and then relieve it – bleed the air continuously while filling the system.
3. After water has filled all lines and all air is removed, remove the quick coupler keys.

Arc Adjustment Procedure (Part-circle Models) ________________________________________
The 860S and 880S part-circle models have an adjustable watering arc from 30°–330° and are factory preset at 180°. The left side of
the arc, located at the end of counterclockwise rotation, is non-adjustable (fixed). Therefore, all arc adjustments, whether increasing
or decreasing, will change the right side of the arc, located at the end of clockwise rotation.
Although the sprinkler arc can be adjusted dry (sprinkler shut off), the best results are obtained during operation. The tools required
for this procedure include a phillips screwdriver and an arc adjustment tool P/N 995-82 (or a 3/32" x 6" hex wrench).
WARNING
NEVER STAND OR LEAN OVER THE SPRINKLER WHILE THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS BEING FILLED,
DURING MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC OPERATION OR WHEN PERFORMING SPRINKLER SERVICE
PROCEDURES. DIRECT CONTACT WITH IRRIGATION SPRAY, A FAILED OR IMPROPERLY INSTALLED
SPRINKLER CONNECTION OR SPRINKLER COMPONENTS FORCIBLY EJECTED UPWARD UNDER
PRESSURE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
1. Operate the sprinkler. See WARNING above.
Note: During this procedure, water will discharge
continuously from the threaded shaft.
Figure 3
Figure 4
Increase
Decrease
2. To check the current arc setting, rotate the cap by hand
in the direction of current travel to the end of the arc.
Immediately rotate the cap in the reverse direction to
the opposite end of the arc.
3. Rotate the cap to the left side of the arc. If only a slight
adjustment (one-eighth of a turn or less) is required to
align the spray with the left watering border, turn the
sprinkler body. If more than one-eighth turn is required,
remove the sprinkler drive assembly and reposition it in
the body to achieve the proper alignment. Refer to the
service procedures on page 9 for disassembly instructions.
4. To adjust the arc, remove the phillips head screw from the center of the cap. See Figure 3.
5. Insert arc adjustment tool (P/N 995-82) or a 3/32" x 6" hex wrench into threaded shaft. Turn the tool slowly counterclockwise
to decrease the arc or clockwise to increase the arc as shown in Figure 4.
Note: Each “click” equals 1° of arc change. One complete revolution of the hex wrench results in a 75° change.
6. Repeat steps 2 and 5 as necessary, making small adjustments until exact arc is set.
7. Install cap screw when arc adjustment is completed.
Pilot Valve Operation (Electric Models Only) _______________________________________________
The main function of the pilot valve is to control the operation of the main valve located in the base of the sprinkler body. The main
valve is operated by the release of water metered through the pilot valve when it is activated either manually at the sprinkler or by the
irrigation system controller.
Another important function of the pilot valve is to regulate the water pressure to the sprinkler nozzle. Pressure regulation
compensates for large variations within the system and maintains a constant pressure for optimum sprinkler operation. The pilot
valve is factory set to regulate one of four pressure levels 50 psi (3.4 bar), 65 psi (4.5 bar), 80 psi (5.5 bar) or 100 PSI (6.9 bar).
The sprinkler operation mode is set using a Toro Selector Tool (P/N 995-15) inserted through the body flange onto the pilot valve
D-shaped selector cam. The "AUTO" mode permits automatic operation from the system controller. The "ON" mode opens the main
valve for manual operation and "OFF" mode prevents the main valve from opening.

WARNING
IF THE VALVE SNAP RING IS DIFFICULT TO REMOVE, RESIDUAL WATER PRESSURE MAY BE REMAINING
IN THE SYSTEM. TO PREVENT POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY DUE TO VALVE BEING EJECTED UPWARD
UNDER PRESSURE, CONFIRM THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS EXIST PRIOR TO REMOVING THE SNAP
RING AND VALVE:
A. WATER SUPPLY TO SPRINKLER IS SHUT OFF AT SOURCE.
B. All PRESSURE IS BLED FROM SYSTEM, INCLUDING CONTROL TUBES.
C. AC POWER IS DISCONNECTED AT SOURCE.
1. See Warning above. To remove valve assembly, squeeze
Figure 9
Figure8
snap ring ears together with snap ring pliers (P/N 995-100) and
remove snap ring from sprinkler body. See Figure 8
2. Use valve removal tool P/N 995-08 for 860S or 995-09 for 880S
to remove valve assembly from base of sprinkler body. Valve
removal tool is inserted into sprinkler body and pushed through
valve ribs. A slight twist will catch tool under ribs enabling valve
removal by pulling straight up and out. See Figure 9.
Note: If valve removal tool is not available, use snap ring pliers
to grasp rib of valve cylinder assembly and pull up and out of
sprinkler body.
3. Reinstall valve assembly using valve insertion tool P/N 995-76
for 860S or 995-101 for 880S as follows:
• Load snap ring onto insertion tool carrier with stepped side
against carrier as shown in Figure 10. While holding snap ring in
compressed position, slide retainer clip in to hold snap ring ears
• Load valve assembly on carrier as shown.
• Locate position of communication tube in bottom of sprinkler body and orient insertion tool accordingly.
• Insert tool straight down into sprinkler body aligning bosses on t-handle with holes on sprinkler body flange. When valve
assembly clears vertical side wall ribs inside body, pull up on snap ring release mechanism (880 models only) and press valve
assembly into position. Snap ring will lock into groove when properly installed. Remove insertion tool and check snap ring to
confirm that it is fully seated in groove

1. With sprinkler operating, carefully step down on center of cap several times. Water will flow around riser and flush out debris.
2. Cycle sprinkler on and off several times to check for proper retraction. Cap should be even with top of body flange when fully
retracted. If riser sticks in up position, check for debris lodged between riser and body. Flush out all debris. Remove sprinkler
mechanism if necessary.
