2.0 Installation
2.3 Guide rails
2.3.1 The optional guide rails can be installed on any of the 1900 & 2400
Series Dual Hose Reels.
2.3.2 Guide Rails provide a barrier between the hose and rotating spool
flange rim. They also act as a safety barrier for installations where
human contact with the rotating spool flange is likely to occur.
2.3.3 Guide Rails provide additional assurance that the hose will wrap
efficiently on the spool for applications involving rigorous motion.
2.3.4 Guide Rails can act as a substitute for the roller guide in applications
that require a two-way pay-out.
2.3.5 Guide rail installation
2.3.5.1 Guide Rails are mounted to the base using the holes on the
side edges of the base.
2.4 roller Guides
2.4.1 All 1900 / 2400 Dual Hose Reel units are equipped with a roller guide.
The guide’s function is to center the hose on the spool and to help the
reel wrap the hose more evenly.
2.4.2 The guide must be located and secured prior to making any hose
connections.
2.4.3 The hose should not bear against either of the spool flanges during
winding as this will tend to inhibit level winding of the hose.
2.4.4 The guide should be secured at the best of two possible positions so
that a minimum change of direction occurs at the guide; otherwise,
hose life will be reduced and reel operation will be impaired.
2.4.4.1 Mount the guide to the reel between the inside edge of the
frame and the spool. Using the two longer motor mount bolts in the
required holes, place the guide arm in position so the cable pays
horizontally off the top of the spool or vertically towards the top of the
spool.
