ADJUSTING THE GUIDE ARM
Pull out 3-4 feet of hose and allow reel to lock in position.
Remove the four bolts connecting guide arm to mounting base.
Rotate guide arm in 90°-increments to desired position total number of positions is five (5). Replace four bolts and tighten.
Continue by choosing proper mounting hardware. Mount reel using four 3/8” grade 5 bolts secured through four slots in
mounting base. See Illustration for Dimensions. Use washers on mounting bolts to help bear weight of reel (Bolts and Washers
are not included).
After reel is secured in position, attach air hose coming from compressor. Wrap threads of male connector on incoming air hose
with Teflon tape (included) or thread sealant and connect to air inlet valve on side of hose reel. Connect other end of incoming air
hose to air compressor. Apply Teflon tape to threads on hose before attaching air tools.
ADJUSTING THE HOSE BALL STOP
The hose ball stop determines the length of hose that remains outside of reel. To adjust, pull hose out past desired position of
hose ball stop and latch reel. Loosen both bolts and move ball stop to proper position. Tighten bolts.
Operating Hose Reel
1. Slowly pull hose from reel to desired length. A ratcheting mechanism inside reel makes a short series of clicking sounds every
half revolution of reel.
2. To lock reel in position, listen for clicking sounds as hose is slowly pulled from reel. When reel clicks. stop pulling hose. De-
crease tension on hose and reel should lock in position.
3. To retract hose onto reel, slowly pull out hose until series of clicking sounds stops (1/8 revolution). DO NOT LET GO OF
HOSE! Allow hose to retract slowly until hose ball stop rests against hose guide.
4. Periodically check the hose for excessive wear and hose connections for air leaks.
ADJUSTING RECOIL TENSION
1. Disconnect incoming air supply.
2. Pull out about 2 feet of hose and latch the reel.
3. Remove hose ball stop.
4.
While firmly holding onto edge of reel drum, unlatch reel and carefully allow drum to slowly rewind, drawing hose end
back through guide arm roller assembly and onto reel. Latch reel in position.
5. To Increase Tension: Unlatch reel and turn clockwise (as viewed from air inlet side).
To Decrease Tension: Unlatch and allow reel to rotate slowly counterclockwise (as viewed from air inlet side).
6. Once desired spring tension is reached, latch reel in position. Feed hose end through roller assembly in guide arm and
reattach hose ball stop.
7. Connect incoming air supply.
REPLACING HOSE
1. Secure and stabilize reel. In most cases, hose can be replaced with reel still mounted.
2. Disconnect incoming air supply.
3. Pull out entire length of hose and lock reel.
Make sure reel is securely locked in place.
4. Unscrew hose clamps that secure hose to drum. Disconnect inlet-end of hose from air inlet valve.
5. Pull inlet-end of hose through slot in drum and guide rollers. removing old hose completely.
6. Remove spring hose guard, hose clamp and hose ball stop from old hose. Fit these parts on new hose in identical positions.
7. Feed inlet-end of hose through guide rollers and slot in drum.
8. Apply Teflon sealant tape or thread sealant to hose connector and connect to air inlet valve.
9. Attach hose clamp to drum. Rewind hose onto reel using normal operation.
