The left stop on a Rainbird 5000 sprinkler controller adjusts the watering time for each station. Here's how to adjust it:
- Locate the Left Stop: The left stop is a small knob or lever located on the front of the controller, usually near the station selector buttons.
- Turn the Left Stop: Turn the knob or lever clockwise to increase the watering time and counterclockwise to decrease it.
- Check the Display: The controller display will show the current watering time for the selected station.
- Repeat for Each Station: Adjust the left stop for each station individually to set the desired watering times.
Example: If you want to increase the watering time for station 1 from 5 minutes to 10 minutes, turn the left stop knob clockwise until the display shows 10 minutes for station 1.
Practical Insight: The left stop adjustment is a convenient way to fine-tune your watering schedule based on the specific needs of your lawn or garden.
