This was by far one of the clearer explanations I have happened across thus far. Great camera work, image clarity, and verbal articulation. Thank you!!

Finally!! Someone who knows how to clearly and simply explain something! With excellent video to go along with it! Well done! Subscribing...

I work with Hunters everyday and this actually helped me a little as I did not ever know of the second technique which can come in quite handy at times. The Hunter channel is one of the most informative on youtube. Please keep posting vids!!!

What a FANTASTIC explanation of how to adjust these, I’ve been having a BEAR of a time trying to do this. Thanks SO much. 😊

Thank you, thank you, thank you, like other readers I played around with adjusting my PGP for hours. Finally gave up and just put a cinder block to stop excess swing/throw. Every spring I vowed to figure it out...this year is gong to be different I thought....nope this went on for 6 years. I even bought a new sprinkler head and read the instructions on the inside to no avail, guess I had to see in action. All they would have had to say is that the right stop is not adjustable unless you tighten threads or lift up and realign gears. Again thank you

The best instructions I have watched. Thanks. Definitely was not going to pay anyone to adjust mine for me. Appreciate it.

I had been struggling with my Hunter heads after trying to follow the directions that came with purchase, but fortunately I found this video and finally I was able to put it all together in my head, and made all adjustments in 5 minutes, after what had been hours of frustration. Thank you for this video.

Outstanding video. After viewing, I was able to achieve what our association landscapers could not for the last 5 years. Now the heads on my property are all properly aimed. Thank you Hunter Industries.

Omg this was so helpful for a sprinkler newbie! Thank you for saving me $$ and not needing to call a landscaper!!! DIY is the best!

I have been trying to figure out the right stop adjustment for several days on one of my heads. So far, this video has saved my last nerves. Thank you!

To anyone out there, a word of warning: in this video the large, black plastic ring he unscrews at 3:20 to remove the inner barrel/sprinkler riser loosens up with hardly any effort. IF this same ring on your Hunter I-20 sprinkler head has not been removed in a long time, there is a high probability that as you crank on the ring counterclockwise to loosen it, instead of "only" the ring coming loose, the ENTIRE sprinkler, (meaning the inner barrel/sprinkler riser, the ring AND the outer barrel) may come loose from your water feed line below the entire sprinkler assembly. How do I know? This happened to me today when trying to remove the inner barrel to set the right stop of the arc. I then put the entire sprinkler assembly in a vise and tried to loosen the ring with a pair of channel-locks. No dice. I then tried loosening the ring using 2 channel-locks gripping the ring and the outer barrel. Still no dice. The bottom line is I couldn't get the ring off (to remove the inner barrel/riser) without crushing / completely destroying the outer barrel. When I called Hunter Tech Support the guy I talked to said that in order to NOT have the entire sprinkler assembly come loose he digs down BELOW the ring and puts a pair of channel-locks on the outer barrel and then twists (either by hand or a second pair of channel-locks) the ring loose. Bottom line: be prepared for the ring on your sprinkler to NOT come loose as easy as in this video. Sorry for the long post but maybe this will help someone out there.

This is the best adjustment tutorial I have watched so far. Thank you, heading out to the front yard.

Perfect! Appreciate the "two methods" to adjust the right stop; some other videos just say to tight the whole rotor sprinkler clockwise, which could crack the rotor bottom or the underlying threaded riser if the rotor was fully tightly screwed on already.

This was the Gold Standard by far, of how to adjust these Hunter PGP heads! Bravo, , , ,

[Fgrgplayzz]

After 10 years, it is still a lifesaver🙂 Thank you Hunter!!

[davidsumner]

Thank you so much. It’s so simple after your video. I had to unscrew the top and reset the unit. Thanks for keeping me from breaking the threads trying to over tighten to get the right stop set...

[nguyenloanphuong]

I would love to say big thanks to this video and that man. That's exactly what I needed for weeks. I had tried to call the sprinkle company to come and fix it but they did not show up.
After watching it, I know how to adjust both the left stop and esp the right stop. I watched soany videos but they just showed how to turn the left ones only.

[Engineer]

This was exactly what i needed. I’ve been messing with these screws for days with no result. Now i learned that the sprinkler doesn’t need to be running to adjust it, and no need to wait to see how it turns after changing a setting. Now i know exactly what to do 👍 But maybe i broke some heads already. Will see.

Super helpful. Straight to the point. No weird intro or YouTubeisms. Great video.

I am familiar with Rain Bird adjustments but I never could figure out Hunter until today! Excellent explanation Thanks
