It depends on which Orbit gear drive sprinkler you have. The following is for the Voyager II. You will need a special tool sold with the heads. Part #55070 Voyager II Adjustment Key available at your Orbit dealer. It has a small hex head wrench on one end and a plastic head on the other. Two rings are in the middle to help you grip the key. Why you ask? If any kid with a screwdriver could adjust your sprinkler head you might come back from vacation in August with a basement full of water! Better to use a special tool instead.

Set the Pattern Rotation
Each head can be set to rotate between 40 and 360 degrees. (preset to 180) Use the plastic end in the middle hole to pull the head up. Grip the sprinkler stem with one hand.
(You may want to remove assembly form the housing, leaving the housing in the ground. Turn the large black outer ring counterclockwise to unscrew the head from the housing. If you do be sure not to get any dirt, grass etc in the housing.)
Turn the top all the way left until it stops. Then turn the head all the way to the right. This is the starting point for rotation.
Insert the plastic end into the pattern adjustment hole. (largest hole on the top of the head) Slip it past the rubber gasket first and then turn it gently while continuing to gently press down. Once the key slips all the way into the slotted hole (about 3/8" total) it will be harder to turn. Now you can adjust the rotation. Clockwise increases the the rotation and counter clockwise decreases it. Each full turn increases/decreases the rotation by 90 degrees. 3 3/4 turns make the full adjustment.
Set the Spray Distance
Most of the nozzles adjust form 25 to 50 feet depending on your water pressure. Insert the hex (metal) end of the key into the distance adjustment hole. (the smallest of the three holes)
Turn the key clockwise to decrease distance, counterclockwise to increase distance. Caution do not turn the screw to far in or out as it could come out of the hole and you could loose it.
You can also replace the Nozzles to change the distance and pattern of the watter flow. Nine nozzles are available. 1, 2, 4, 7 (pre-installed), 8 and Low Angle Nozzles L!, L2, L3 and L4. Nozzle 8 has the largest radius of 55 feet at 60 PSI. L1 has the shortest of 27 feet at 30 PSI.

Why does the space shuttle turn a few seconds after take off?
There are a number of reasons why the shuttle rolled to a "heads down" position with the crew cockpit facing down. This is the position the orbiter is in while in orbit. Many of the antennae the orbiter uses to communicate with the ground are located on the top of the orbiter. This "heads down" position maximizing performance of these communications. This also allows the the shuttle to reach the orbit required for its low earth orbit missions. After clearing the launch tower, the shuttle stack performs a roll and pitch set its orbital inclination to achieve low orbit. T We think of the shuttle launching upwards to reach orbit but acceleration is much more horizontal than vertical. This is required to reach the over 17,000 mph required to achieve low earth orbit.
How do you adjust an impulse water sprinkler?
Mine has three adjustments: 1. There is a little twist knob on the side near the nozzle that adjusts droplet size from drops to a mist. You want drops for a lawn, mist for ornamental plants. 2. There is a knob on the top of the nozzle that adjusts the throw (distance) that the sprinkler sprays. It should indicate which way to twist for further or shorter. Sometimes it helps to put a little pressure on the front of the nozzle to help make twisting this knob easier. 3. There are stops on the stem that adjust it from a wedge to almost a full circle. The further you spread them, the bigger the wedge. There is a lever/switch that hits the stops to make the sprinkler reverse. If you want a full circle, you should be able to lift this lever or flip it up away from the stops so that it never hits them.
