Introduction
The FLX34 and FLX54 series full-circle rotary sprinklers are
designed specifically for golf course applications.
Manufactured from durable, high-strength engineering plastic and
stainless-steel components, these sprinklers incorporate many
innovative and time-proven features for lasting, maintenance-free
operation.
Prior to installing the sprinkler, read through the recommended
installation and start-up procedures. Please observe all Warnings
and Cautions when installing and operating this equipment.
Features
• Full circle (360°) arc coverage
• Dual trajectory main nozzle adjustment – 25° standard or 15° low angle
• Two additional front nozzle positions
• Industry's largest precision nozzle selection
• All nozzles are color coded, debris tolerant and threaded in from the front
• Five electric and two hydraulic activation types
o Electric – Satellite systems – Standard 24 VAC solenoid; SPIKEGUARD 24VAC solenoid; Nickel plated
SPIKEGUARD 24VAC solenoid
o Electric – 2-wire systems – DC Latching solenoid; Integrated GDC module w/DC latching solenoid
o Hydraulic – Normally Open valve in head; Check-O-Matic (requires remote valve)
• Constant velocity drive and variable stator provide consistent rotation speeds
• Manual control at the sprinkler ON-OFF-AUTO (electric models only)
• Selectable/lockable pressure regulation settings; 50 psi (3,4 bar), 65 psi (4,5 bar), 80 psi (5,5 bar) or 100 psi (6,9 bar)

    Use Toro swing joints to connect the sprinklers to the lateral/main line pipe. Figure 1 Toro swing joints provide swivel joints that allow the sprinkler body to be easily positioned to finished grade and prevents pipe breakage by providing the flexibility to allow downward movement if the sprinkler is run over by heavy equipment.
