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.
PARTS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MOUNTING
Caution: Unless reel was specified differently when ordering, maximum
installation height is 16 feet. Do not exceed this distance.
-
Unpack and inspect reel for damage. Turn by hand to check for smooth operation. Check for completeness.
-
Configure reel for top, side or bottom-wind hose dispensing by removing nuts (1) securing guide arm bracket (2). Position guide arm bracket to desired location, and replace nuts.
Caution: When changing guide arm positions, the U-bolt must be placed in the proper location as instructed in figure A below. The reel can “latch out” during use if this instruction is not adhered to. -
Position reel on floor, wall, or ceiling. Secure into place using four (customer supplied) bolts (3).
INSTALLING THE INPUT HOSE(S)
Warning: Ensure that supply line pressure does not exceed maximum working pressure rating of reel. Apply pipe thread sealant to all threads.
Caution: Use flexible hose connection at input. Do not use rigid plumbing.
- Connect supply line hose (4) to main shaft input (5) as indicated in illustration.
INSTALLING THE OUTPUT HOSE(S)
Warning: Use extreme caution; reel under tension. Avoid releasing latch
mechanism. Apply pipe thread sealant to all threads.
- Manually turn sheave (10) until spring is tight, back off 3 turns, then latch.
- Route output hose(s) (11) through guide arm bracket (2) , U-bolts (12) , then through cutout (13) in spool as indicated in illustration.
- Connect output hose(s) (11) to swivel (14) as indicated in illustration.
- Tighten U-bolts (12).
- Charge hose(s). Momentarily open control valve to purge hose(s) of gases. When fluid appears at control valve, close valve. With hose(s) fully charged, release latch and wind output hose(s) onto reel.
ADJUSTMENTS
Warning: Use extreme caution; reel under tension. Avoid releasing latch
mechanism. If necessary, adjust spring tension on reel by adding or removing
wraps of hose from spool, one wrap at a time, until desired tension is
obtained. Add wraps to increase tension. Remove wraps to decrease tension.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
User servicing of the reel is limited to replacing input/output hoses only. Refer all other repairs to an authorized service person or directly to Reelcraft. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or equipment damage and may void the warranty.
Warning: Rewind hose on reel, then bleed pressure from system before performing the following procedures.
-
Replace hoses in accordance with procedures given in “Installation Instructions” section of this manual.
Caution: When replacing drive spring, hold the center of the spring down as the hub is pulled out. If the center is allowed to raise up, the spring may escape from it’s container with enough force to cause injuries. When disposing of old or broken spring assemblies, the coils should be welded or wired together to prevent possible injury to scrap handling personnel. -
All mating moving parts are to be lubricated with Perma Bond or Loctite anti-seize compound.
