Reel Mount
HINT
: Should the reel mount to the ceiling
or a wall, it may be advantageous to lessen
its weight with the removal of the Power
Spring Assembly.
Follow the appropriate procedural steps
within the section entitled
Overhaul
.
1. Mount the reel assembly with the proper hardware.
CAUTION
Never connect rigid piping to the Swivel assembly.
Damage to components can occur.
2. Screw a connecting hose (with thread sealant) into the
Swivel Assembly.
3. Attach the connecting hose to the supply line.
IMPORTANT: Anchor the connecting hose
to a suitable surface to prevent the hose from
flexing at the Swivel Assembly.
The anchor should be in-line with the inlet of
the Swivel to minimize side loading. See Fig-
ure 4.
Setting Power Spring Tension
4. Make sure there is no tension on the Power Spring
Assembly.
IMPORTANT: Wear non--slip gloves when
handling the Sheave Assembly.
5. While facing the Ratchet, turn the Sheave Assembly
clockwise to set the tension suggested for the type and
length of delivery hose used.
• See
Table 3
for details.
6. Allow the reel to latch.
Bench Test
While facing the Ratchet, turn the reel in a clockwise
direction and allow the Ratchet to latch the Pawl.
If the reel does not tension or latch properly, refer to
the
Troubleshooting Chart
.
Installation
WARNING
Do not exceed the lowest pressure rating
of any component in the system.
Never point a control valve at any portion of your
body or another person. Lubricant discharged at
high velocity can penetrate the skin and cause
severe injury. Should any fluid appear to puncture
the skin, get medical care immediately.
Ensure all components are in operable condition.
Replace any suspect parts prior to operation. Per-
sonal injury can occur.
Hold the delivery hose securely until the reel is
securely latched or fully retracted. Uncontrolled
retraction can result in personal injury.
