Quick hints and tips

If the hose will not rewind, try the following; Turn off the tap and let the water out of the hose by opening the hose nozzle/gun.
Pull all the hose out in a straight line. Walk back to the reel with the end of the hose and trigger the rewind mechanism by taking hold of the hose near to the reel, and gently pull the hose about 15 to 30cm to release the latch.
(Ensure that nothing is obstructing the hose whilst the rewind procedure is active.)
The hose will not rewind unless it is pulled a short distance (15 to 30cm) away from the reel and then walked back towards the reel.
Use the lock on the side of the reel to lock the hose when not in use.
Dip the end of the hose into a bowl of hot water for 30s to make it easier to fit to the hose connectors.

Gently lift and remove the side disc. Repeat on the opposite side, and put both to one side. (Figs.1 & 2)
With the front of the reel facing you, tilt it slowly backwards until the rear handle is resting on the floor.
Pull the front leg upwards into position. You will hear a click once the leg is secure. (Fig.3)
Take the plastic foot (B) and locate it onto the front leg. Align the screw holes on the metal with the holes on the plastic foot.
Use 10mm bolts(U) to secure the plastic foot to the front leg. (Fig.4)
Holding the leg in its forward position, not stowed, tip the reel forward again so it is upright.

Take the axle tube (G) and push into one of the stub axles (H) (Fig.8)
Feed the axle tube into the case until the stub axle locates into the pocket. Twist stub axle as shown to fix. (Fig.9)
Take the remaining stub axle and push onto the protruding end of the axle tube
Twist stub axle as shown to fix. (one clockwise, one anti-clockwise) (Fig.10)

Orientate the tow handle (E) as shown (Fig. 17), then fit onto the accessory rack and secure using 19mm screws (S) x2. (Fig.18) HINT: The handle assembly needs positioning to fit the two ribs within the accessory rack pocket.
Loosen the 2 plastic collars from the case clamps, and remove (Fig.19)
Align the notch on the 2 x handle tubes (L) with the case clamps, and push each down to fit. Take care not to damage the plastic teeth on the cart. (Fig.20) (You should expect some resistance at first as the tubes push past the locking rib.)
Replace the plastic collars over the tubes. (Fig.21) HINT: Leave the collars loose until following steps complete.

Adjust the handle to the required height and tighten the plastic collars on to the clamp to secure. (Fig.24)

CONNECT THE FEEDER HOSE AND FITTINGS
If the feeder hose supplied is too short to reach your tap, replace it with a good quality 12.5mm (½”) hose.
Attaching the feeder hose:

Position the cart so that the side without the safety lock is facing you.
Two screws hold the plate on the hose connector in place. Remove these two screws. (Fig.25)
NEVER attempt to remove the other two black security screws!
Remove the hose connector. (Fig.26) Feed the hose through the opening, then unscrew the hose nut from the hose connector and slide it onto the hose. (Fig.27)
Push the end of the hose into the inlet teeth and tighten the nut. Ensure that the hose is pushed all the way into the connector. (Fig.28)
Replace the hose connector into the Auto Reel Mobile and tighten the two screws. (Fig.29)
Re-fit the side discs making sure they click in place. (Fig.30)
Attach the hose end connector (O) to the free end of the feeder hose. (Fig.31) Attach the water stop connector (P) to the watering hose at the mouth of the cart. (Fig.32) Connect the nozzle (Q) supplied to the water stop connector. (Fig.33)
HINT: Dip the end of the hose into a bowl of hot water for 30s to make it easier to fit to the hose connectors.

INSTALLING THE AUTO REEL MOBILE

Attach the threaded tap connector (N) to your tap and connect the feeder hose to it via the hose end connector. (Fig.34)
Turn the tap on and run the water through the reel before using it for the first time. Check for leaks and re-tighten hose connections if necessary.

USING THE CART

To pull out the hose, take hold of the hose end and walk away from the cart.
HINT: To avoid the unit tipping over, ensure that the cart is orientated towards your direction of travel when walking away from the unit with the Hose.
The cart has an automatic latch to hold the hose in place for use at any required length. The hose may be placed on the ground and will not rewind.
If more hose is required, pull out as necessary.
HINT: Do not attempt to pull the unit beyond the hose length limit, as it will move/tip
To rewind the hose gently pull the hose between 15 to 30cm away from the cart to release the locking mechanism. Walk back towards the cart. Always hold the hose end whilst it rewinds. If you are struggling to do this try;
Turn off the tap and let the water out of the hose by opening the hose nozzle/gun.
Walk back to the cart with the end of the hose and trigger the rewind mechanism by taking hold of the hose near to the cart, and gently pull the hose about 15 to 30cm to release the latch. (Ensure that nothing is obstructing the hose whilst the rewind procedure is active.)
IMPORTANT: THE HOSE END MUST BE WALKED BACK TO THE CART.

USING THE SAFETY LOCK

Operate the safety lock by using the dial on the side of the cart.
The safety lock has two functions:
To stop the hose being pulled out when fully re-wound.
To stop accidental rewind while the hose is in use.
To lock, turn the dial towards the (padlock closed) symbol. (Fig.35) To unlock, turn the dial so that it points towards the (padlock open) symbol. (Fig.36)
For added security always lock the cart when unattended.

CART STORAGE

There are two accessory park points on the handle for stowage of hose end accessories. (Fig.37)
The inlet feeder hose can be stored using the hook on the plastic tow handle. (Fig.38)
There is also a accessory basket at the rear for storage of spare connectors etc. (Fig.39)

Safety

Do not operate the safety lock while the cart is turning.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage or injury:

DO NOT:
Let go of the hose while rewinding. Always walk back to the cart holding the hose.
Place fingers or objects in the hose aperture of the cart during operation.
Attempt to remove the screws from any part of the product. DANGER: This product contains a pretensioned spring.
Remove the ball stop from the watering hose.
DO:
Store the cart in winter to prevent frost damage.
Turn the tap off and depressurise the hose when not in use.
To prevent damage being caused to your Auto Rell Mobile over the winter months it is advisable thathe excess water be dispelled from the hosepipe.
This can be done by completing the following steps

Disconnect the feeder hose from the tap
Place the end of the feeder hose on the ground
Pull out all of the hose ensuring the hose end connection is ‘closed’ and then completely retrac4. Excess water will dispel from the feeder hose
Repeat step 3 several times
Connect the end of the feeder hose to the park p (Fig.38).

By dispelling the excess water from your Auto Reel Mobile, it will not only become lighter to transport inside during winter, but will reduce the risk of watefreezing inside the reel.

Troubleshooting

Activating the Auto-Rewind

The hose must be pulled out from the cart between 15cm to 30cm, any less or more and the hose will not auto-rewind. The easiest way to trigger the auto-rewind is by gently pulling the hose at the cart.

Fixing the Unit In-Position

If the unit is to remain static, ground spikes can be located through the front leg to fix the unit in place.

Leaks

Remove the side disc and tighten the nut connecting the hose to the reel.
Tighten the nut on the hose end connector.
Tighten the nut on the water stop connector.

Hose replacement

If the watering hose becomes damaged, under no circumstances should you attempt to repair it.
