Dimensions
• Ensure that reel is properly installed before connecting input and output
hoses.
• Bleed fluid/gas pressure from system before servicing reel.
• Before connecting reel to supply line, ensure that pressure does not
exceed maximum working pressure rating of reel.
• Remember, even low pressure is very dangerous and can cause per-
sonal injury or death.
• Be aware of machinery and personnel in work area.
• If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, remove system pressure immedi-
ately.
• A high tension spring assembly is contained within the reel. Exercise
extreme caution.
• Pull hose from reel by grasping the hose itself, not the control valve.
• Ensure that reel, hose, and equipment being serviced are
properly grounded. Use an ohmmeter to check ground
continuity.
• If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove system pressure immedi-
ately. Do not pull or jerk on hose!
• Treat and respect the hose reel as any other piece of machinery,
observing all common safety practices.
SAFETY
Personal injury and/or equipment damage may result if proper safety
precautions are not observed.
Form# 834-696D Rev: 10/2018
Reels less hose, models TW84000 OLPT
and TW86000 OLPT, are UL listed #70H2.
IN-SERVICE CAUTION:
• The user is cautioned not to shut off the fuel gas at the regulator or supply source first, as a flashback may result, and thereby damage the
hose.
• Users are cautioned specifically to shut off the gas at the torch first, and then at the regulator or supply source, to limit permeation of gas
through the hose wall. This should be done when the torch will not be used for periods in excess of 30 minutes.
• After the flame has been extinguished and the gas turned off at the supply source, it is recommended that any remaining gas be bled to mini-
mize degradation of the rubber during long shutdowns.
• To prevent an accumulation or concentration of gas that could be explosive or otherwise harmful to personnel, adequate ventillation must be
provided at all times, particularly in confined areas where fuel gas is being used.
• Additional advice for minimizing the permeation problem has been supplied by an NWSA member who states “The source of gas (fuel gas
and oxygen) should be closed before leaving for the day or shift. After the cylinder or manifold valves have been closed, the torch valves
(both fuel gas and oxygen) should be opened to remove all pressure from hoses.
