INSTALLATION
1. Prior to mounting the hose reel, ensure that the supply line pressure does not exceed the maximum
working pressure of the hose reel.
2. Unpack and inspect reel for damage. Turn by hand to check for smooth operation.
3. Check for completeness.
4. For wall mounting: Install reel at most 1.5meter above the floor.
5. You will need to purchase appropriate hardware for mounting your new reel.
6. The reel base has four 10.5mm drilled holes for mounting on a suitable flat surface.
7. Using the four holes in the base, mount the reel in the desired location. Be sure to use appropriate
hardware and tighten securely.
8. Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to supply line threads, attach to reel inlet and tighten it. The other end
of incoming line can now be connected to desired supply source.
9. Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to outlet fitting on reel hose, then attach to desired tool, or nozzle.
Check connection for leakage, also check hose reel for correct operation. See Operation section.
10. If hose stopper adjustment is required, pull hose from reel and allow to latch at desired length. Loosen
stopper bolts, slide stopper to a position close to the hose guide. Tighten stopper bolts and unlatch the reel.
1. Check reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out hose. A “click” noise will be heard every half
revolution of the drum.
2. To latch the reel, pull out the hose and allow it to retract after hearing the first second or third “click”
3. To unlatch, slowly pull out the hose until the “click” noise stops, then let cable retract until the cable
stopper rests against the cable guide.
4. If necessary, adjust spring tension on reel by adding or removing wraps of hose from spool, one wraps at
a time until desired tension is obtained. Add wraps to increase tension Remove wraps to decrease tension.
