Pressure & Temperature Rating (Continued):
• The pressure rating of the reel without hose
must not be greater than the operational
capacity of a reel. Variations in the OD of
higher rated hose will affect the operational
capacity of the reel.
4. Personal Safety:
• Ensure reel has been properly installed before
connecting supply line.
• Before connecting to reel, be certain supply
line pressure is equal to or higher than hose
reel.
• If a leak should occur after applying pressure
to the reel, immediately discontinue supply
line pressure. Inspect and repair all leaks.
