ADJUSTING THE GUIDE ARM
1. Pull out 1 to 1.5 meter of hose and allow reel to lock in position.
2. Remove the four bolts connecting guide arm to support post.
3. Rotate guide arm in 90°-increments to desired position. Replace four bolts and tighten.
Continue by choosing proper mounting hardware. Mount reel using four 1/2" bolts secured through
four slots in mounting base. Use washers on mounting bolts to help bear weight of reel.
After reel is secured in position, attach air hose coming from compressor. Wrap threads of male
connector on incoming air hose with teflon tape or thread sealant and connect to air inlet valve on
side of hose reel. Connect other end of incoming air hose to air compressor. Apply teflon tape to
threads on hose before attaching air tools.
ADJUSTING THE HOSE STOPPER
The hose stopper determines the length of hose that remains outside of reel. To adjust, pull hose out
past desired position of hose stopper and latch reel. Loosen both stopper bolts and move stopper to
proper position. Tighten stopper bolts.
OPERATING HOSE REEL
1. Slowly pull hose from reel to desired length. A ratchet mechanism inside reel makes a short series
clicking sounds every half revolution of reel.
2. To lock reel in position, listen for clicking sounds as hose is slowly pulled from reel. When reel
clicks, stop pulling hose. Decrease tension on hose and reel should lock in position.
3. To retract hose onto reel, slowly pull out hose until series of clicking sounds stops (1/8 revolution).
DO NOT LET GO OF HOSE! .Allow hose to retract slowly until hose stopper rests against hose
guide.
4. Periodically check the hose for excessive wear and hose connections for air leaks.
ADJUSTING RECOIL TENSION
1. Disconnect incoming air supply.
2. Pull out about 2 feet of hose and latch the reel.
3. Remove hose stopper (part 28).
4. While firmly holding onto edge of reel drum, unlatch reel and carefully allow drum to slowly rewind,
drawing hose end back through guide arm roller assembly and onto reel. Latch reel in position.
5. To Increase Tension: Unlatch reel and turn clockwise (as viewed from air inlet side). To Decrease
Tension: Unlatch and allow reel to rotate slowly counter-clockwise (as viewed from air inlet side).
6. Once desired spring tension is reached, latch reel in position. Feed hose end through roller
assembly in guide arm and re-attach hose stopper.
7. Connect incoming air supply.
