MOUNTING HOSE REEL
Choosing a Location
DO NOT MOUNT HOSE REEL OUTDOORS OR ON VEHICLE. This hose reel is not designed to resist constant
exposure to weather or continuous vibration. Mount under cover in an area not directly exposed to weather.
Reel can be mounted on the floor, ceiling, or wall, wherever it is convenient. When choosing a location, remember that you
can only mount reel to a load-bearing structural member capable of supporting combined weight of reel, hose, and
forces caused by pulling or manuevering hose. Mounting reel near air compressor may be desirable since you can connect
the two with a shorter, less expensive length of hose. Also, air compressor controls will be conveniently nearby.
