SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Make sure incoming line pressure does not exceed the rated operating pressure for your model hose reel.
• Use proper eye protection when assembling and using the hose reel.
• Assemble the hose reel on a clean workbench.
• Use soap and water when checking for leaks.
• Keep children away from the work area.

Warning : Exposure of skin directly to pressurized air, or fluid could result in severe bodily injury.

ASSEMBLY

Installation of Reel:

• For overhead ceiling mounting: Install reels at least 10 feet above the floor.
• If the reel you have purchased does not have a hose included, you will need to purchase and attach it. Refer to the specifications on the box to determine the appropriate hose size and length.
• You will need to purchase appropriate hardware for mounting your new reel.

1. The reel base has four 1/2″ (or 12.7mm) drilled holes for mounting on a suitable flat surface. Figure 3 is a template showing the correct location of the 4 mounting holes in the base.

2. The reel is supplied with hose guide roller bracket. The bracket position may be changed depending on the reel mounting position. Figure 2 shows “Typical Mounting Positions”.
   If the bracket position needs to be changed, do the following:

3. Pull out some hose and let the reel latch.

4. Remove the bolts that attach the guide roller bracket to the support post.

5. Rotate the guide roller bracket to the correct position, replace the bolts, and tighten.

6. Using the four holes in the base, mount the reel in the desired location. Be sure to use appropriate hardware and tighten it securely.

7. Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to supply line threads, attach to reel inlet, and tighten. The other end of the incoming line can now be connected to the desired supply source.

8. If the hose has been supplied with a reel: Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to the outlet fitting on the reel hose, then attach to the desired tool, or nozzle.

9. Check the connection for leakage, and also check the hose reel for correct operation. (Details see Operation section.)

10. If hose stopper adjustment is required, pull the hose from the reel and allow it to latch at the desired length. Loosen stopper bolts and slide the stopper to a position close to the hose guide. Tighten stopper bolts, and unlatch the reel.

Installation of Hose:

1. Securely stabilize the reel.

2. Facing the swivel fitting side of the reel: Turn the drum clockwise, by hand, unit/ the rewind spring is tight, and the drum has latched. As an extra precaution while installing the new hose, secure the drum in the latched position.

3. Insert the end of the hose through the guide roller bracket and feed through an opening in the drum flange.

4. Use Teflon tape or pipe sealant on hose fitting threads, screw fitting into swivel, and tighten.
   Note : To avoid damage to the swivel, use a wrench to support the swivel fitting while tightening the hose.

5. Attach the hose stopper on the other end of the hose, near the outlet fitting.

6. Carefully release the drum latch and slowly allow the hose to wind onto the reel.
   Note : Final spring tension adjustment is accomplished by adding wraps of hose around the drum (to increase tension) or taking off wraps of hose (to decrease tension). Refer to the Adjustment of Spring Tension section.

Operation

1. Check the reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out the hose. A “clicking” noise will be heard every half revolution of the drum.

2. To latch the reel, pull out the hose and allow it to retract after hearing the first, second, or third “click”.

3. To unlatch, slowly pull out the hose until the “clicking” noise stops, then let the hose retract until the hose stop rests against the hose guide.
   Note : To avoid damage to the reel, always hold on to the hose while it is rewinding.

4. Periodically check the hose condition for wear or damage, and check the swivel fitting for leakage. Replace any worn, damaged, or leaking parts.

Adjustment of Spring Tension

1. Pull out approximately 6 ft or 2m of hose and allow the drum to latch.
2. Remove the hose stopper from the hose and feed the hose back through the guide.
3. Wrap the pulled hose one time around the drum to increase tension or un-wrap the hose one time from the drum to decrease tension.
4. Re-insert hose through the guide and install stopper onto the hose end.
5. Unlatch the drum and check the tension. Pull the hose from the reel and adjust the stopper position if necessary.

Replacement of Swivel Seal

1. Turn off and disconnect the supply line from the swivel inlet.

2. Remove the swivel assembly from the reel axle.

3. Remove the c-clip from the swivel and take it apart.
   Note : You may want to remove the swivel from the reel hose end, but this is not necessary unless a new swivel us being installed.

4. Replace the seals and reassemble the swivel.

5. Use Teflon type of thread sealant on the swivel thread fitting, and reconnect the swivel thread fitting with the axle.

6. Re-connect the inlet supply line.

Replacement of Hose

1. Turn off the supply to the reel.

2. Pull out all the old hose and lock the reel in this position.
   Caution : Make sure the reel drum is securely locked and cannot rotate back.

3. Remove two hose clamps from the hose.

4. Carefully disconnect a hose from the swivel joint on the side of the reel and remove the old hose.

5. Feed new hose through guide and opening in drum and connect to swivel. Re-install two hose clamps on the inside and outside of the drum flange. Install the stopper on the other end of the hose in the sale position as before.

6. Carefully release the drum latch and slowly allow the hose to wind onto the reel.
   Note : Final spring adjustment is accomplished by adding or removing wraps of hose around the drum. (Details see Adjustment of Spring Tension section.)
