Safety
Read all instruction manuals, tags, and labels before operating this equipment. Personal injury and/or equipment damage
may result if proper safety precautions are not observed.
• This hose reel is for professional use only. Use the hose reel only for its intended purposes. If you are unsure call
your Reelcraft distributor.
• Check the hose reel and related equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
• Do not alter or modify this hose reel in any way. Use only genuine Reelcraft parts and accessories.
• Ensure that the hose reel is securely mounted before connecting the input and output hoses.
• Ensure that the reel, hose, and equipment being serviced are properly grounded. Use an ohmmeter to check ground
continuity.
• Before connecting the hose reel to the supply line, ensure that the pressure does not exceed the maximum pressure
of the lowest rated component within the system.
• Only use fluids, gases or solvents that are compatible with the exposed parts of the hose reel.
• If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, relieve the system pressure immediately. Bleed the fluid or gas pressure before
servicing the hose reel.
• A high tension drive spring in contained within the hose reel. Exercise extreme caution.
• If the hose reel ceases to unwind or rewind, relieve the system pressure immediately. Do not pull or jerk on the hose.
• Be aware of machinery and personnel in the work area. Route hoses away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving
parts, and hot surfaces.
• Pull the hose from the reel by grasping the hose itself, not the control valve.
• Treat and respect the hose reel as you would any other piece of machinery, observing all common safety practices.
• Never allow hose to retract unassisted, always walk the hose back to the reel until the bumper engaged the guide
roller. Failure to do so can result in damage to the hose, hose reel and any surrounding equipment or personnel.
Warnings
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if inhaled, swallowed, splashed in the eyes, or splashed
on the skin.
• Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using.
• Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local, state and national
guidelines.
• Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing, and a respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manu-
facturer.
Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and result in a fire or ex-
plosion and serious injury.
• For fueling applications, be sure the entire fluid system is properly grounded. The hoses installed with these hose
reels must be electrically conductive. The hose reel is grounded by connecting electrically conductive supply hoses to
a properly grounded system.
• If there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using this equipment, stop dispensing immediately.
Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
• Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvents or the fluid being dispensed.
• Keep the dispensing area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and spilled gasoline.
• Do not smoke while dispensing flammable fluids.
