Use the solenoid handle, which is specifically designed to shut the valve off completely and keep
it from "weeping." Also tighten the bleed screw and bonnet.
Sprinklers "weep."
Use the external bleed screw to flush the valve. If performance does not improve, turn off water.
Unscrew bonnet and remove. Remove diaphragm and clean it in clear water. Reinstall diaphragm
and bonnet. If necessary, replace the diaphragm with kit number 231771.
Valve won't open.
Check water source, controller power, and flow control to make sure they are open.
Turn off water. Unscrew bonnet and remove. Inspect body for debris. If filter is missing from
diaphragm, replace diaphragm with kit number 231771.
Turn off water. Remove solenoid and replace with a known working solenoid. If the valve still
