5000/5000 Plus

MPR Nozzles

Achieve Matched Precipitation

Rate Between 25' and 35'

Rain Bird 5000/5000 Plus MPR Nozzles simplify

both the design process and the installation of

rotors, because they reliably deliver matched

precipitation rates within and between rotor

radii from 25' to 35'. Without having to use fixed

arc plates, designers and installers can achieve

matched precipitation rates. Superior flexibility

in arc adjustment minimizes the risks of over- or

under-watering.

5004 UPG

Don't just change out a rotor,

UPGrade it.

The 5004 UPG rotor is designed to upgrade

existing Hunter PGP

™ rotors with the

performance characteristics and feature set of

Rain Bird's 5004 rotor. Additionally, it is faster

and easier to leave the PGP case in the ground

and only change out the main part of the rotor.

UPGrade to the UPG-5004 for:

• Rain Curtain

™ Technology which includes

large droplet size, close-in water, and even

distribution

• More reliable and robust performance than the

Hunter PGP

• Rapid installations - the available flow shut-off

feature means the nozzle can be changed

without shutting down the entire zone at

the valve

• Available Matched Precipitation Rate

(MPR) nozzles

English Installation Instructions

Installing and Removing Nozzles:

1. Insert tool into pull-up slot, turn 90 degrees, and lift up stem.

(A)

2. Insert the desired nozzle into the nozzle socket, and turn the radius

adjustment screw clockwise to secure the nozzle in place.

(B)

3. Insert the selected nozzle’s identification plug into the opening on

the top of the rotor.

4. To remove the nozzle, back out the radius adjustment screw,

place the blade of the screwdriver under the nozzle removal tab

and press the handle down.

(C)

Setting the Arc:

The arc is adjustable from 40 –360 degrees (PC units only). The rotor

is factory set to 180 degrees.

Align Fixed LEFT Edge:

1. Pull up turret and turn to the left trip point (counterclockwise).

CAUTION:

If the rotor does not turn easily to the left, first turn it

right (clockwise) to the right trip point.

2. Rotate entire case to the desired fixed left position, OR unscrew

cap and pull out assembly. Rotate internals to re-align left trip

point to the desired point and re-install.

To increase or decrease the arc: (D)

1. While holding the nozzle turret at the fixed LEFT stop, insert tool

or screwdriver into the adjustment socket.

2a. Turn the screwdriver clockwise, (+) to INCREASE arc.

2b. Turn the screwdriver counterclockwise, (-) to DECREASE arc.

3. Each full clockwise turn of the screwdriver will add or remove 90

degrees of arc.

4. When the maximum arc of 360 degrees or minimum arc of 40

degrees has been set, you will hear a ratcheting noise. Do not

adjust the rotor beyond the maximum or minimum arc.

Radius Adjustment: (Radius can be reduced up to 25%) (E)

1. Insert screwdriver into the radius adjustment socket.

2. Turn the screwdriver clockwise to reduce radius, and

counterclockwise to increase radius.

(5000 PLUS ONLY) Turning Flow On or Off (F)

1. Insert screwdriver into Flow Shut-off Slot.

2. Turn screwdriver clockwise 180 degrees to stop the flow of water.

3. Turn screwdriver counterclockwise 180 degrees to start the flow

of water.
