The left stop needs to be adjusted, but is fixed on the 5000. The Rainbird instructions say I can "unscrew the cap and pull out the assembly..." but I'm not sure what they mean by this. Is there a screw on the top that holds down the cap, or do I have to dig around the head a little to expose the case and twist the top of the body? Or is there a better solution? Thanks. Mike C
