Read these instructions carefully before attempting to install, operate, or
maintain your reel. Only qualified persons should install this product. Failure
to comply with instructions may result in personal injury and/or property
damage. Every attempt is made to ensure the accuracy and completion of
these instructions; however, Reelcraft is not responsible for ommissions. To
obtain the complete version of Reelcraft’s service manuals, technical bul-
letins, and other support, please visit www.reelcraft.com or call customer
service during business hours.
Safety
1. Ensure that the reel has been properly in-
stalled before connecting input and output
hoses or connecting to power supply.
2. Purge fluid/gas from system before ser-
vicing.
3. Before connecting reel to supply line, en-
sure that pressure does not exceed maxi-
mum working pressure rating of reel.
4. Remember, even low pressure is very dan-
gerous and can cause injury or death.
5. If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, remove
supply line pressure immediately.
6. For motor driven models, check for faulty
supply wires or hoses before operating.
7. Pull hose from reel by grasping the hose
itself, not the control valve.
8. Ensure that reel, hose and equipment
being serviced are properly grounded. Use
an ohmmeter to check ground continuity.
9. If reel is motor driven, be careful of chain/
sprocket drive system. Keep hands clear.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing.
10. If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove
system pressure immediately. Do not pull
or jerk on hose!
11. Treat and respect a hose reel as any other
piece of machinery, observing all common
safety practices.
Installation
A flexible hose connection must be used be-
tween the reel inlet and the source of supply
to prevent possible misalignment and binding.
Use thread sealant to assure a satisfactory seal
when installing swivel. Do not over tighten.
Mounting
Ensure that mounting surface is flat and struc-
turally sound to prevent binding on reel after it
is mounted. Position reel to mounting surface
and secure into place, using four secure fas-
teners (not included). Connect supply line to
swivel. Tighten securely.
Electric Driven Reels - CAUTION:
Re-
move all electrical power when wiring. Do not
“hot-wire”. Observe all applicable NEC/OSHA
requirements. Consult wiring diagram (page
4) and determine which one is applicable to
your reel. Perform electrical wiring following
applicable diagram.
Air Driven Reels - WARNING:
Do not ex-
ceed 100 PSI motor inlet pressure. Use an
FRL or control valve in line to adjust speed of
motor. Connect air line to motor in accordance
with diagram (page 4). To avoid damage to the
air motor, do not strike the main shaft.
Install/Replace the Hose
CAUTION:
Do not connect the hose to the
reel until after the hose reel has been prop-
erly mounted. Fully extend and charge hose
before winding on to reel. Momentarily open
control valve, when initially charging, to purge
hose of gases. When fluid appears at control
valve, close valve. This prevents flattening of
the hose and excessive pressure on the drum
when fluid supply is initiated at a later time.
1. Apply thread compound to all threads.
2. For Series 30000, detach outlet gooseneck
(A37000 and B37000 reels do not have
a gooseneck).
CAUTION:
Do not discard/
misplace the O-ring.
3. Route output hose through hose clamp
(Series H).
4. Hand thread male hose connector into
the outlet gooseneck. Re-connect the out-
let gooseneck to the reel. Insure that the
O-ring is properly fitted into the grooves
when replacing the gooseneck.
Replace the Swivel
CAUTION:
Remove supply line pressure be-
fore performing the following procedure.
1. Remove supply line from swivel.
2. Remove swivel assembly from inlet shaft.
3. Install swivel assembly to inlet shaft by
reversing steps 1 and 2. Apply sealant to
all threads.
Replace/Move the Motor
CAUTION:
Before replacing the chain remove
all power/pressure from the motor.
1. Disconnect wiring/air lines from motor.
2. Remove bolts securing motor mounting
bracket to reel. Remove bracket.
3. Remove bolts attaching motor mounting
bracket to motor. Remove motor.
4. Install new motor by reversing steps 1
through 3 above.
Replace the Chain
CAUTION:
Before replacing the chain remove
all power/pressure from the motor.
1. Loosen (do not remove) bolts securing
motor mounting bracket in place.
2. Remove chain master-link.
3. Install new chain by reversing steps 1 and
2 above. Tighten mounting bracket bolts.
Adjust Chain Tension
CAUTION:
Before adjusting the chain ten-
sion, remove all power/pressure from the
motor. Over-tensioned (tightening) of chain
results in reduced motor life. Adjust to allow
between 1/4” and 1/2” play in chain in the
largest span.
1. Loosen bolts (do not remove) securing
motor mounting bracket to reel.
2. Move motor mounting bracket and motor
until proper chain tension is obtained.
3. Tighten motor mounting bracket bolts.
Adjust the Reel
1. Adjust reel drag by loosening or tighten-
ing set screw on hub casting on manual
driven reel.
