Setup/Operation
Note that for transport of the hose reel it is advisable to maintain sufficient tension on the
hose reel to arrest any rotation of the hose reel spool caused by motion of the unit.
Mode 3
– Powered Unload
The UNLOAD mode is achieved by the mode toggle switch is in the UNLOAD position
and the belt is sufficiently tightened to transmit power from the motor/gearbox to the hose
reel spool.
The foot switch is momentary and will only operate when it is depressed.
Mode 4
– Cold Starting
It is advisable that when beginning operation below 18
o
F (-8
o
C) that the belt tension be
temporarily loosened far enough that motor rotation will not cause spool rotation and that
the motor be powered for a minimum of 5 minutes. This will allow the oil in the gearbox to
warm up and to allow smooth low-temperature operation.
Following system warm-up re-tension the belt and begin your desired operation.
