Installation – Mounting Options
All Mountings
NOTE: Always use large flat washers with the bolts
you use to mount the hose reel pedestal to any
surface.
CAUTION
Be sure the mounting surface is strong enough to
support the reels, the weight of the lubricants, and
the stress caused by hard pulls on the service
hoses. See page 25 for the dry weights of the
hose reel assemblies.
NOTE: All accessories mentioned here are shown on
pages 22 to 24.
1.
Select the reel bank mounting location.
a.
For high ceilings, suspend a suitable support
structure for the reels, so the hoses will be
long enough to reach your service area.
b.
A reel bank mounted in a one-lift service bay
should be at least 6 ft (1.9 m) from the center
line of the lift See Fig. 3.
c.
In a two-lift bay, mount the bank equal
distance between the lifts. A bank of all motor
oil reels should be mounted about 5 ft (1.5 m)
from the center of the lift, toward the front of
the lift rails. See Fig. 3.
2.
If you are installing permanent supply lines, drill
1.5-in. (38 mm) diameter holes through the ceiling
on the inlet side of the reels.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, when you are mounting
a hose reel overhead, always use a lift truck.
Position the hose reel so the pedestal is facing up.
Using the lift truck, raise the reel as close to the
mounting location as possible. Bolt the hose reel to
its mounting, and be sure it is secure before
lowering the lift truck.
Ceiling Mounting Without an I-Beam
1.
Install the mounting frame (303) and base plate
(304) as shown in Fig. 4.
2.
Slide the hose reel onto the base plate (304) and
install the hold-down plate (302) and capscrew
(301). Tighten the screw firmly. See Fig. 4.
3.
Connect the supply line to the inlet hose of the
reel. Purchase the hose inlet kit separately. See
Accessories on page 22.
4.
Adjust the spring tension of the reel. Hose reels
shipped with hoses come from the factory with the
tension preset for a typical installation. To adjust
for more or less tension, see Increasing Spring
Tension on page 11. If you have purchased a
bare hose reel, see Installing a Hose on a Bare
Reel on page 10.
