Adjust Spring Tension
Increase the spring tension if the spring is too loose, the
hose does not retract completely, or if hose retraction is
sluggish.
Decrease the spring tension if the spring is too tight, or if
the hose retracts too fast.
Increase Spring Tension
1.
Pull the hose out one to two turns, then engage the
latch.
2.
Mark the position of the hose stop and remove the
hose stop from the end of the hose.
3.
Pull the hose back through the hose guides.
4.
Wrap a loop of hose onto the reel.
5.
Put the hose end through the hose guides and fix
the hose stop to the marked position.
6.
Check the spring tension. The hose must pull out
fully and retract fully. Repeat steps 1 through 5 to
increase the sprint tension until the spring has the
desired tension.
NOTE: Do not put so many loops onto the reel so that
the spring winds up tightly before the hose is fully
extended.
Decrease Spring Tension
To decrease the spring tension, remove loops around
the reel (see Step 4,
) until
tension is at the desired level.

SPRING TENSION HAZARD
The hose reel spring is always under great tension,
which if released in an uncontrolled manner could
cause serious injury.
•
The hose reel spring is not a serviceable part. Do
not attempt to replace or service the hose reel
spring.
•
Never allow the reel to spin freely. Uncontrolled
spinning could cause serious injury if hit by the
hose.
•
Securely fasten the reel in place while making
adjustments.
•
Always wear heavy gloves while adjusting the
spring tension to protect your hands from being
cut on the hose reel.
