CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Your hose reel is manufactured with the finest quality components available. All components are manu-
factured to rigorous quality standards not common in other consumer grade hose reels available today.
When you install your hose reel, be sure the hose washers are in place and all fittings are secure. If you
live in more temperate climates, be sure to drain the unit of any residual water before storing.
• DO NOT EXPOSE UNIT TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES
while water remains in the plumbing system, this
can damage the swivel.
•
DO NOT
leave water running through the reel while not in use or unsupervised.
• DO NOT
consume water from garden hose; not fit for human consumption.
NOTE:
For proper care and maintenance use a small amount of 3-in-1 oil on the worm gear and chain to supply
ample lubrication.

Troubleshooting Guide
Problem:
Swivel head is not rotating, causing the leader hose to kink up.
Solution:
Remove leader hose and turn the square head of the swivel several times; apply lubricant.
Problem:
Your new Liberty hose reel is leaking at the swivel.
Solution:
Apply Teflon/Plumber's Tape on the threads or/and make sure fixtures are tightened.
It is normal for the
swivel to leak slightly until the O-rings are wet and have seated. If the leaking continues, try these steps:
(It is not
necessary to return the hose reel)
1. If the leader hose is attached to the swivel, unscrew the hose and look inside the swivel.
2. Check that the hose washer is inside the nut. You may contact Liberty Garden Products for a new hose washer
or obtain one at any hardware store.
3. If your swivel is old, the O-rings may be worn, please contact us for a new set of O-rings.
4. If these steps do not solve your leaking problem, contact Liberty Garden Products customer service.
