WINDING/UNWINDING CORRECTLY
→ To unwind the hose, grip the hose firmly
on the hose stop and walk away from
the reel. (hose stop is the ball that is
mounted near the end of the hose to
prevent the hose from being wound up
entirely onto the reel)
→ When the hose has been wound out to
the desired length, stop pulling. The au-
tomatic locking mechanism will lock the
hose at that length. If it does not, pull
slowly on the hose until the automatic
braking mechanism engages.
→ If you need more hose length, pull the
hose as you walk further away from
the reel. Repeat the automatic locking
procedure.
→ To rewind the hose back onto the reel,
grip it by the hose stop and pull the
hose slowly away from the reel until it
is taut. Then walk it back to the reel
under control until it is wound back on
the reel. For reasons of safety, you must
never let the hose go when winding it
back onto the reel.
CAUTION!
→ Read the manual carefully before using
the reel.
→ To prevent the hose from becoming
hard, it must be brought indoors if the
outside temperature is below
-5° C. To prevent frost damage, the
reel should be stored indoors during the
winter.
→ In sub-zero temperatures empty the
hose and store the spray gun and
straight spray nozzle inside. Ice expands
and may cause the hard plastic parts to
crack.
→ Only qualified personnel are permitted
to disassemble or open the reel. There is
a spring under pressure in the mecha-
nism. It could cause injury if handled
improperly.
→ The hose and reel are only intended for
use with water.
→ The reel is made of plastic. It should
therefore not be dropped or have other
things stacked on top of it. That could
lead to the reel cracking or breaking.
→ The water supply should always be
turned off after use.
→ Keeping the hose clean is important to
ensure that it rewinds optimally.
If it gets dirty, it should be cleaned with
a neutral detergent.
→ Never let go of the hose when
using the automatic rewinding!
IF THE HOSE NO LONGER REWINDS
PROPERLY, PLEASE CHECK THE
FOLLOWING POINTS.
→ Problem: Rewinds poorly.
→ Reason: Dirty, sticky hose makes the
hose bunch up and get stuck against
the reel.
→ Solution: Clean the hose with a neutral
detergent and then treat lightly with
lubricating oil.
→ Reason: Rolling up too quickly makes
the hose bunch up.
→ Solution: Unwind the hose and then
rewind it slowly.
→ Problem: The hose does not rewind at
all any more
→ Reason: The spring is broken.
