To increase the arc of your Hunter rotor head, you'll want to insert the plastic key into the adjustment socket, which can be found on the top of each sprinkler head. Turn the adjustment wrench clockwise in a full 360-degree motion. This will increase your arc by 90 degrees each time you turn the wrench a full circle.

If your system can only handle 16.67, you will need to use two zones to cover that same area of your yard.How do you turn off individual sprinkler heads?
