Replacing Hose
If hose becomes damaged, it may be necessary to replace it. In most cases, air hose can be replaced while reel is
still mounted. Replace air hose with same diameter and length of original hose. Installing a longer or shorter
hose will require Adjusting Recoil Tension (page 9).
1. Disconnect incoming air supply. Pull out about 1 foot of hose and lock reel in position. DO NOT UNLOCK HOSE
REEL during this installation process. If reel becomes unlocked, it will spin at uncontrolled speed, possibly
resulting in damage to internal spring.
2. Remove hose stopper. Pull hose backward through guide roller collar. Unwrap (counterclockwise, when viewed
from air inlet side) until reel is empty.
3. Remove hose clamp. Save for re-installation. Disconnect hose end from air inlet assembly. Pull hose end back
through slot in reel drum. Remove spring guard from old hose.
4. Place spring guard on new hose. Feed hose end through slot in reel drum. Wrap end of new hose with thread
sealing tape. Connect to air inlet assembly. Re-install hose clamp. Make sure spring guard is aligned correctly in
slot to protect hose from sharp metal edges.
5. Wrap hose around reel (clockwise) until 1-2 feet of hose remains.
6. Feed hose end through guide roller collar. Re-attach hose stopper in desired position. Unlock hose reel
and rewind until hose stopper rests against guide roller collar. Connect incoming air supply.
