SAFETY
Personal injury and/or equipment damage may result if proper safety precautions are not observed.
- Ensure that reel is properly installed before connecting input and output hoses.
- Bleed fluid/gas pressure from system before servicing reel.
- Before connecting reel to supply line, ensure that pressure does not exceed maximum working pressure rating of reel.
- Remember, even low pressure is very dangerous and can cause personal injury or death.
- Be aware of machinery and personnel in work area.
- If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, remove system pressure immediately.
- A high tension spring assembly is contained within the reel. Exercise extreme caution.
- Pull hose from reel by grasping the hose itself, not the control valve.
- Ensure that reel, hose, and equipment being serviced are properly grounded. Use an ohmmeter to check ground continuity.
- If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove system pressure immediately. Do not pull or jerk on hose!
- Treat and respect the hose reel as any other piece of machinery, observing all common safety practices.
Mounting the Hose Reel
Prior to mounting the hose reel, ensure that the supply line pressure does not
exceed the maximum working pressure of the hose reel.
Do not exceed the maximum installation height of 16’ unless the reel was
specified differently when ordering. The maximum operating temperature is 150
°F (66 °C).
Unpack and inspect the reel for damage. Turn the spool by hand to check for a
smooth operation.
Position the reel on the floor, wall or ceiling. Secure into place using four
mounting bolts (not included). See the included mounting template for
additional instructions for your specific mounting application. Depending on
where the reel is placed, it may be necessary to adjust the bumper stop and
guide arm to use the hose properly. See the instructions on the next page to
adjust the bumper stop and reposition the guide arm.
Mounting Applications
