If you can not find someone you might be able to get some help from You Tube. Might be easier to go to a box store and get a new head if you can not clean the old. I think adjusting the direction is just turning a ring or using a screw driver to turn a slot to redirect. You can test this by turning on the system and experiment with the pop up head.


Heads are also designed to let x amount of water go through them. I had to replace a couple of mine with heads that let more water go through to cover a patch of grass.
