INSTALLATION
Caution: Instruct operators in the safe, proper use and maintenance of the
hose reel. Keep this manual for future reference.
Warning: Failure to read, understand and follow these instructions may
result in personal injury or even fatality.
A. Mounting:
Reels shipped with hose are ready for installation.
1.
Mount hose reel with the main shaft (item 25 – see parts list on page 16) in the
horizontal position.
2. Mount reel with centre line of drum (8) in line with hose pay-out.
B. Supply hose:
Assemble input hose into main shaft (25). Do not use rigid pipe at input connection.
C. Secondary support cable:
Warning: The secondary chain must be used to protect personnel in case
of failure of mounting components or support structure.
1. Attach one end of secondary support cable to the hole in the stand cover (20).
2. Attach the other end of secondary support cable to a separate support. Do not
attach the secondary support cable to the same structure that supports the
hose reel.
Note : Make the cable as short as possible so that the hose reel will drop no more
than six inches if the main support fails.
