IMPACT HAZARD

The spring is always under great tension and could be propelled or uncoil with enough force to cause serious 
injury. 

The hose reel spring is not a serviceable part. Do not attempt to replace or service the spring.

Always grasp ratchet handle firmly with both hands when adjusting tension. 

When decreasing spring tension, never attempt to turn ratchet more than 1/4 turn with each push-in motion.

Uncontrolled spinning of the hose reel could cause serious injury if you are hit by the hose or a tool. 

Never allow reel to spin freely. 

The reel must be bolted securely in place when making adjustments.
