Installation

Installing the Orbit Voyager II sprinkler is a straightforward process that can be completed with basic tools and some DIY skills.

Dig a trench to bury the sprinkler pipe and connect it to your existing irrigation system. Ensure the pipe is securely connected and there are no leaks. Next, thread the sprinkler onto a riser and position it flush with the finished turf height. Take care to avoid using pipe dope on the threads; thread seal tape is recommended if necessary. Once the sprinkler is installed, turn on the water under the system’s normal operating pressure. Remember to set the spray distance and pattern according to your needs, and use the provided adjustment key for fine-tuning. By following these steps, you can ensure a successful installation and enjoy the benefits of the Orbit Voyager II for years to come.

Adjustment

The Orbit Voyager II sprinkler offers a range of adjustments to customize your watering patterns and optimize water usage. To adjust the spray pattern, locate the pattern adjustment hole on the top of the sprinkler head; Insert the plastic end of the adjustment key into the hole and turn clockwise to increase the rotation or counterclockwise to decrease it. Each full turn corresponds to a 90-degree change in the rotation. The Voyager II also allows for adjusting the spray distance, which is controlled by the preinstalled nozzle. To change the distance, you can replace the nozzle with a different one, selecting from the various options available. Use the adjustment key to carefully remove the existing nozzle and replace it with the desired one. Remember to adjust the spray distance and pattern to ensure even and efficient watering throughout your lawn, avoiding overwatering or dry spots. With these simple adjustments, you can personalize your Orbit Voyager II to meet the specific needs of your landscape.

Troubleshooting

While the Orbit Voyager II is a reliable sprinkler, occasional issues may arise. If your sprinkler isn’t rotating properly, check that the adjustment key is fully removed from the pattern adjustment hole. If the spray distance is incorrect, ensure that the nozzle is securely installed and that the adjustment screw is properly tightened. If you experience low water pressure, inspect the sprinkler head for any obstructions or debris clogging the nozzle. Clean the nozzle thoroughly with a small brush or toothpick to ensure proper water flow. If the sprinkler head is not popping up properly, check for any debris or obstructions in the pop-up mechanism. Remove any obstructions and ensure that the pop-up mechanism is free to move. If you encounter persistent issues, refer to the Orbit Voyager II user manual for more in-depth troubleshooting steps. You can also contact Orbit customer support for assistance.
