Replacing Air Inlet Valve O-rings
The O-ring seals inside the air inlet valve assembly wear over time. If leaking around air inlet valve
is observed, O-rings should be replaced. An O-ring replacement kit is shipped with this hose reel.
Store in a safe place for future use.
1. Disconnect incoming air supply. Unscrew air inlet valve assembly (part 11) from axle
(part 23) by fitting wrench onto hex portion of valve and turning counterclockwise.
2. Remove retaining ring (part 13) and slide air inlet valve swivel connector (part 12) off
from swivel connector.
3. Remove worn O-rings from air inlet valve and replace with new parts.
Reverse above procedure to re-assemble.
INCLUDED KIT
For easy installation and
best seal, thinly coat
O-rings with petroleum jelly.
Replacing Locking Pawl
Sometimes with heavy use, the locking pawl can begin to wear causing poor engagement with ratchet teeth. This can result in
slipping or difficulty locking. It is easy to replace and can be done while hose reel is mounted.
1. Reel should be in fully retracted position ("home"), with hose stopper resting against guide roller collar. Be sure locking pawl
is not engaged with ratchet teeth, and that there is enough clearance between pawl and teeth to allow free and easy removal
and installation of locking pawl assembly.
2. Unhook return spring from anchor point. Loosen and remove lock nut. Remove old locking pawl assembly from support leg.
3. Insert new locking pawl assembly through support leg. Thread on lock nut and tighten until snug. Hook end of return spring
through anchor point.
4. Verify function of locking pawl by pulling hose out and locking reel in position.
