Q:Is there a way to make it just go right or left - from the low angle to straight up, and then back again?

Answer This Question

A:  Thank you for your question. The 3,400 sq. ft. Oscillating Sprinkler is not adjustable. Please see the Metal 4500 sq. ft. Turbo Sprinkler (SKU # 1002455983) instead. You will want something with width control and range control. Thanks for contacting Melnor and happy watering!

    A:  Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, this model does not have a width control. You could reduce the flow from your water faucet to water this smaller area. Thanks for contacting Melnor!

      Q:Mine can only go in one direction all the way down. If I said it to go both forwards and backwards, it barely changes. Am I doing something wrong?

      A:  You want to line up the pictures on the yellow dial with the black arrow behind the yellow dial. The picture that looks like two open windows with two water drops is full oscillation. The other two pictures are partial oscillation.

            Q:Why do these sprinklers ALWAYS stick in the far right position after a few months? No amount of WD40 and a channel lock wrench fixes these.

              A:  It would water approximately 64' x 54'.

                A:  3400 sq. ft. refers to the area covered by the spray. Example: with sufficient water pressure the sprinkler could send water 40 ft out and 40ft wide on each side of the sprinkler x 2 = 3200 square ft.

                  Q:can 2 be connected?

                  Answer This Question

                  A:  It has been a long time since the purchase and use. I believe that particular sprinkler does not have a hose connection on the end. I use the Y splitter connections to feed more than one sprinkler with one house connection. The limiting factor quickly becomes the volume of water available through the house connection.
