Using the (relatively) new feature from Rain Bird called the slip clutch, you can easily adjust the left hand stop on a RainBird 5000 Series sprinkler.
As the video above shows, simply find the left hand stop and continue to turn passed it until you have the arrow pointing in the desired direction. From there, fine tune the right hand stop with the +/- adjustment screw.
In this video, we talk about a common problem after installation with leaking RainBird 5000 heads and how to fix it. More often than not, the cause of a leaky sprinkler head immediately after installation has to do with dirt, rocks, pebbles, or other debris making it's way into the sprinkler lines and into the heads as well.
Giving everything a flush and good cleaning usually is the easiest fix.
