My orbit tractor lawn sprinkler goes backwards instead of forward. So, it won't track on the water hose. What's wrong?

Try turning the nozzles the other way - they should turn counter clockwise when looking from the top, not clockwise.

I think it is broken. You know, all these garden tools are so fragile. They can easily break. Recently I have bought the best sprinkler heads which I found on topratedguider.com and it seems to be good. Now I am going to read the reviews before every single purchase.

Most likely it is just assembled the wrong way

Orbit traveling won't move
I just had the same thing happen to me. You have to turn the arms counter clockwise...opposite of the tightening bolts, and have them pointing in opposite directions to get it to turn. If the unit moves backwards, turn them another 180deg to the opposite directions, and it should go forward.

Orbit walking sprinkler
You probably just have the arms pointed the wrong way. To travel forward the angled part of the arm should be pointed in a clockwise direction. Aim them the other way and it travels backward.
