Hose Reel Operation
The hose reel has 20 m of 1” hose fitted with an adjustable nozzle, which can be used for tree watering,
firefighting or washdown purposes. The nozzle adjusts from closed through to jet and mist sprays, depending
on requirements. The hose reel is operated as follows, refer to Figure 11:
1. Open the manually operated ball valve for the hose reel.
2. Referring to Start the Pump procedures (diesel or petrol engine), start the pump engine. Once warmed
up, adjust the engine speed. Until the hose nozzle is opened, the factory set pressure regulator will
divert the pumped water back into the tank.
3. Pull the hose nozzle to feed othe hose out of the reel. At the required length, it will retract slightly and
lock into place.
4. Twist the nozzle to the desired spray pattern and direct the spray as required. Pressure can be reduced
by adjusting the pump’s engine to a lower speed.
5. At completion of the operation, shut down the hose operation in the reverse order to starting. Retract
the hose by tugging it, then allow the spring-loaded action to wind the hose back on to the reel.
