ADJUSTMENTS
Warning:
Use extreme caution; reel under tension. Avoid releas-
ing latch mechanism. If necessary, adjust spring tension on reel
by adding or removing wraps of hose from spool, one wrap at a
time, until desired tension is obtained. Add wraps to increase
tension. Remove wraps to decrease tension.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
User servicing of the reel is limited to replacing input/output
hoses only. Refer all other repairs to an authorized service
person or directly to Reelcraft. Failure to do so can result in per-
sonal injury and/or equipment damage and may void the
warranty.
Warning:
Rewind hose on reel, then bleed pressure
from system before performing the following procedures.
1. Replace hoses in accordance with procedures given in
“Installation Instructions” section of this manual.
Caution:
When replacing drive spring, hold the center of the
spring down as the hub is pulled out. If the center is allowed
to raise up, the spring may escape from it’s container with
enough force to cause injuries.
2. All mating moving parts are to be lubricated with Perma Bond
or Loctite anti-seize compound.
When disposing of old or broken spring assemblies, the coils
should be welded or wired together to prevent possible injury to
scrap handling personnel.
