Servicing Procedures ____________________________________________________
The DT series sprinklers are designed to provide the user trouble-free operation for many years without scheduled maintenance. If it
becomes necessary to disassemble the sprinkler to correct a malfunction or replace a component, all internal parts of the sprinkler
can be accessed from the top. Refer to the Troubleshooting Procedure in this manual in the event of a malfunction. Some special
tools are required for disassembly and/or maintenance of the sprinkler and are available from your Toro dealer.
