Install Large-Area Pop-Up
Irrigation :
Incorrect location :
1: No obstacles (e.g. walls, trees, etc.) should be located in the
watering sector. It must be possible to access every contour
point of the areas to be watered in a straight line. With the
maximum range the spray height can reach approx. 5 m.
2: The minimum range is 2.5 m (at 2 bar). With circle water
distribution the large-area pop-up irrigation must therefore be
located 2.5 m from the edge in all directions (A). If this is not
possible the large-area pop-up irrigation should be positioned
at the edge and the watering area will be a circle sector (B).
3: Erratic spray-range changes must be avoided. The smaller
the angle
α
, the greater the deviation from the programmed
contour is.
Before installing the large-area pop-up irrigation, you must
set up an above-ground test to check whether the large-
area pop-up irrigation can actually water the required area
at this location.
The large-area pop-up irrigation has a 3 /4 ” female thread and is
connected to the 25 mm Connecting Pipe 8 Art. 2700 / 2701 /
2718 using the GARDENA L-piece 7 Art. 2781.
1. Install the above-ground test set-up and check whether the
large-area pop-up irrigation can water the required area (see
5. Operation).
2. If the large-area pop-up irrigation has watered the required area
in the test, install a pack of coarse gravel 9 approx. 20 cm x 20
cm x 20 cm in size underneath the unit.
This ensures proper functioning of the drain valve.
3. Install the upper edge of the large-area pop-up irrigation level
with the turf. This prevents any damage when mowing the lawn.

5. Operation
A watering sector from 25° to 360° can be selected. To prevent
areas being watered unintentionally (e.g. house), the sector
should first be selected roughly (slightly too small).
Roughly select sector :
1. Close water supply.
2. Turn the nozzle head 0 by hand to the middle of the watering
sector (e.g. P4).
3. Roughly select watering sector: turn right sector stop z

right-hand side (e.g. P9) and left sector stop z L to left-hand side
(e.g. P2).
Note : When the water supply is open, the sector-stop is shifted
during switching of the turn direction to its end position.
Re-adjust sector :
1. Open water supply.
2. Watch watering sector and re-adjust the sector-stops z L and z R
according to the sector limits (P1 and P10) until the change in
