65 Ft. AUTO REWIND HOSE REEL
3. Attach the hose reel (A) to the mounting bracket by centering the reel over the bracket and inserting the
aluminum tube (C) through both the hose reel and the mounting bracket by tapping with a rubber mallet (as
shown in Figure 1).
If correctly installed the hose reel should be able to rotate 180 degrees.
Using your hose reel:
PULLING OUT THE REQUIRED HOSE LENGTH:
While pulling out your hose, you will hear 3 clicking sounds repeatedly. Discontinue pulling out the hose after the first
or second click in order to lock the hose at the desired length.
Retracting the hose:
1. Turn off the water and release the pressure from the hose by opening the nozzle.
2. Pull the hose until there are no longer any clicking sounds coming from the reel, which means the lock is
released, and then hose will go back automatically.
3. WALK the hose back into the reel as it rewinds.
TO AVOID INJURY, DO NOT LET GO OF THE HOSE WHILE IT IS REWINDING. THE HOSE
MUST BE WALKED BACK ALL THE WAY TO THE REEL.
4. The inner spring will rewind your hose the most conveniently, if you have at least 20 ft. (6 m.) pulled out of
the reel.
Care and maintenance:
1. Always turn off the water at the faucet when the hose reel is not in use.
2. Do not immerse the hose reel in water.
3. The life of the hose reel may be extended if it is not installed in direct sunlight.
4. Completely drain all the water out of the hose and inlet hose prior to any periods of freezing weather or
winter storage.
5. If the inner spring begins to have difficulty rewinding the hose, it may be fatigued. Follow the procedures for
adding tension found in the
TROUBLESHOOTING
section of this manual.
6. This product is intended for COLD WATER usage only. Do not use with chemicals of any kind.
