SAFETY
INSTALLATION:
A flexible hose connection must be used between the hose reel inlet and the source of supply to prevent possible
misalignment and binding.
LUBRICATION:
Hose reel spring and bearings are factory lubricated and require no further lubrication.
REPLACING HOSE:
1. Remove 1/4-20 hex nuts (4) which fasten the hose guide enclosure to the reel back cover, and pull off the
enclosure.
2. Wind spool flange clockwise-facing swivel-until spring is tight.
3. Back off two turns and latch.
4. Insert hose through roller guide.
5. Connect hose fitting to female outlet ell..
ADJUSTMENTS:
To adjust spring tension, add or remove wraps of hose from the spool, one wrap at a time until desired tension is
obtained.
REPAIRS:
Extensive repairs should be performed only by an authorized serviceman or factory to avoid damage which may
void your warranty. Remove all spring tension before beginning disassembly process.
MOUNTING:
The hose reel is equipped with a universal mounting bracket so that it can be mounted on the floor, wall or
ceiling; whichever place is convenient. The hose guide arm can be moved to the position desired by removing the
1/4-20 hex nuts fastening the hose guide enclosure to the reel back cover. Shift the guide enclosure to the desired
position and replace the 1/4-20 hex nuts.
Caution:
When changing guide arm positions, the U-bolt must
be placed in the proper location as instructed below. The reel
can “latch out” during use if this instruction is not adhered to.
