Check List

Sprinkler Maintenance Checklist

Every couple of months you should turn on each valve of your sprinkling system during daylight hours and perform an inspection. Some automatic timers allow you to set a test run,

or you can program each station to come on successively for one minute. Check the following:

¨ ¨ Are there obstructions preventing the water from reaching the desired areas?

¨ ¨ Are there any observable leaks or breaks in the pipe?

SPRINKLER HEADS

¨ ¨ missing?
¨ ¨ broken?
¨ ¨ clogged?
¨ ¨ pushed too far into the ground?
¨ ¨ tilted or spraying in the wrong direction?

doughnut shaped dry areas, rotor speed is too slow, rotors are not rotating)
