3000 psi (206.9 bar). Do not operate bare grease
reel above 5000 psi (620.6 bar).
NOTE:
If reel is equipped with hose, reel maximum
pressure will be determined by the lowest working
pressure rating of the hose, bare reel, or dispense
valve.
Always read and follow the fluid manufacturer’s
recommendations regarding the use of protective
eyewear, clothing and respirators.

The
MAXIMUM WORKING
PRESSURE
of a hose reel is determined by the
lowest rated component in the assembly. The
hose reel Technical Data chart on page 3 give
the maximum working pressure of bare reels
and reels assembled at the factory with hose.
The maximum working pressure of a hose reel
is indicated on the hose reel identification plate
located near the base of the reel.
If adding a service hose and dispensing valve to
a bare reel,
BE SURE
you know the maximum
working pressure of
ALL
components!
WARNING
!
DANGER: Not for use with fluids that
have a flash point below100°F (38°C).
Examples: gasoline, alcohol. Sparking
could result in an explosion which could
result in death.
CAUTION
!
Fully extend hose before pressurizing or damage
may occur to side panels
CAUTION
!
Be aware of possible fluid thermal expansion! A
pressure relief valve should be properly installed in
any system where this product is used. Should this
product fail as a result of thermal expansion and
no pressure relief valve was installed, the product
warranty will be voided.
