Assembly & Maintenance of a Aussie Drencher

Hand tighten both arms into the Tee piece.

Note the location of the small port, align the arm to this location and tighten the lock nut. Complete the same process on the second arm.

The Head is designed to rotate clockwise, if it spins anti clockwise the head may undo from the spindle. The arms may be adjusted to throw water outward (standard), straight, or inward. if required just undo the locknut to adjust this feature, don't forget to lock up the nut.

Check condition of O ring seal, Screw the head into the body and tighten until the O ring is compressed.  If o ring leaks the attempt to reset it or add thread tape to the tread.

 Hang and test operation and direction of rotation before placing on the gutter. 

 If the arms stop spinning there may be a blockage in the sprinkler. Simply disassemble, flush out all parts to clear any debris and reassemble.  

 We recommend turning on the water to the system once a month to ensure they are operating correctly .  We recommend taking down the Drencher at the end of the fire season to prevent insects blocking orifices.  

The main issue reported is a blockage in the nozzle caused by debris in the hose. To clear remove the head from the body, then the nozzle and clean out any debris. If parts are stiff then use WD40 to lubricate and free up by hand, no tool should be used as may damage the mechanism's.
