CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Rust
Your hose reel cart will give you many seasons of reliable and functional hose storage. As with any steel product, there is always the chance of rust developing over time. Your hose reel cart finish is designed for industrial applications, but even the toughest of coatings can be compromised by scratches. Such minor surface damage can occur in shipping despite our best efforts. We have found that most scratches occur during assembly and/or installation. If the base metal is exposed to the elements long enough, rust will develop. We recommend that you periodically inspect your cart for any surface damage. Scratches can easily be repaired by using standard automotive touch-up body paint.  some of our most loyal customers recommend that at the end of each season, the unit be cleaned and painted with clear acrylic paint. Two other sources of rust acceleration is exposing the reel to yard fertilizers or leaving your hose reel standing in the grass. Be sure to rinse off your hose reel cart after it comes in contact with freshly fertilized grass. Also, try to park your hose reel carton on solid ground. Leaving it standing on top of vegetation promotes condensation on the undercarriage of the unit.

Leaks
Your hose reel cart is manufactured with the finest quality components available. All components are manufactured to rigorous quality standards not common in other consumer-grade hose reels available today. When you install your hose reel, be sure the hose washers are in place and all fittings are secure. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as you might damage the components. If you live in more temperate climates, be sure to drain the unit of any residual water before storing it. DO NOT EXPOSE THE UNIT TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES while water remains in the plumbing system.
Troubleshooting Guide
Problem: The swivel head is not rotating, causing the leader hose to kink up.
Solution: Remove the leader hose and turn the square head of the swivel several times; apply lubricant.
Problem: Leaking Fixtures (galvanized tee; brass coupling; swivel)
Solution: Apply Teflon/Plummer’s Tape or/and make sure fixtures are tightened.
TIPS

• To help delay rust, check for any scratches on your hose cart. Apply clear acrylic/weatherproof paint to avoid rusting.
• Drain the water before storing.
• DO NOT drink water from the hose.
• DO NOT leave the water running through the hose reel cart while not in use or unsupervised.
• Turn off the water after each use.

WARNING: This product can expose you to lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem: The swivel head is not rotating, causing the leader hose to kink up.
Solution: Remove the leader hose and turn the square head of the swivel several times; apply lubricant.
Problem: Your new Liberty hose reel is leaking at the swivel.
Solution: Apply Teflon/Plumber’s Tape on the threads or/and make sure fixtures are tightened. It is normal for the swivel to leak slightly until the O-rings are wet and have seated. If the leaking continues, try these steps: (It is not necessary to return the hose reel)

1. If the leader hose is attached to the swivel, unscrew the hose and look inside the swivel.
2. Check that the hose washer is inside the nut. You may contact Liberty Garden Products for a new hose washer or obtain one at any hardware store.
3. If your swivel is old, the O-rings may be worn, please contact us for a new set of O-rings.
4. If these steps do not solve your leaking problem, contact Liberty Garden Product’s customer service.
