- Set Right Stop (Arc Adjustment):
- Insert the K-Rain adjustment key (or a flathead screwdriver) into the arc adjustment slot on the top of the rotor (marked with a 360° arrow).
- Turn the key clockwise to increase the arc (up to 360°) or counter-clockwise to decrease the arc (down to 40°). The numbers on the top cap indicate the arc setting.
- Adjust Spray Distance (Radius):
- Insert the adjustment key into the distance adjustment slot (marked with '+' and '-' symbols).
- Turn the key clockwise to decrease the spray distance or counter-clockwise to increase it.
- Controlul fluxului: The K2 Pro allows for flow control adjustment. This can be used to turn off individual heads during installation or for quick nozzle changes. Refer to the diagram on the side of the rotor for specific flow control instructions.
