Operation
1
Check reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out the hose. A “clicking” noise
will be heard every half revolution of the drum.
2
To latch the reel, pull out the hose and allow it to retract after hearing the first
second or third “ click”.
3. To unlatch, slowly pull out the hose until the “clicking” noise stops, then let the
hose
retract until the hose stop rests against the hose guide. Note: To avoid damage
to the reel, always hold on to the hose while it is rewinding.
3
Periodically check the hose condition for wear or damage, and check the swivel
fitting for leakage. Replace any worn, damaged, or leaking parts.
Adjustment of Spring Tension
1
Pull out approximately 6ft or 2m of hose and allow the drum to latch.
2
Remove hose stopper from hose, and feed hose back through guide.
3
Wrap the pulled hose one time around the drum to increase tension or un-wrap
hose one time from drum to decrease tension.
4
Re-insert hose through guide, and install stopper onto hose end.
5
Unlatch the Drum and check tension. Pull hose from reel, and adjust stopper
position if necessary.
Replacement of Swivel Seal
1
Turn off and disconnect supply line from swivel inlet.
2
Remove swivel assembly from reel axle.
3
Remove circlip from swivel, and take apart. Note: You may want to remove
swivel from reel hose end, but this in not necessary unless a new swivel is being
installed.
4
Replace the seals and reassemble swivel.
5
Use Teflon type or thread sealant on swivel thread fitting, reconnect the swivel
thread fitting with axle.
6
Re-connect inlet supply line.
Replacement of Hose
1
Turn off supply to reel.
2
Pull out all the old hose and lock the reel in this position. Caution: Make sure reel
drum is securely locked and cannot rotate back.
3
Remove two hose clamps from hose.
4
Carefully disconnect hose from swivel joint on side of reel, or male fitting in axle
center and remove old hose.
5
Feed new hose through guide and opening in drum, and connect to swivel.
Re-install two hose clamps, on inside and outside of drum flange. Install stopper on
other end of hose in the same position as before.
6
Carefully release the drum latch, and slowly allow the hose to wind onto the reel.
Note: Final spring adjustment is accomplished by adding or removing wraps of hose
around the drum. (Details see spring tension adjustment).
