General Safety
Thoroughly read and understand this manual before installing, operating or servicing this
equipment.
Because this Hose Reel can be
incorporated into a pressurized systems,
the following safety precautions should be
observed.
Check equipment regularly and repair or
replace worn and damaged parts.
Never alter or modify any parts of this hose
reel, doing so may cause damage to hose reel
and/or personal injury.
Under no circumstances should the dispensing
valve be aimed at any person at any time.
Personal injury may result.
Release pressures built up in the system
before any service or repair is begun. See the
pressure relief procedure below.
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.
IMPORTANT
!
The spring is ALWAYS under great tension and
could be propelled from the case with enough
force to cause serious bodily injury.
CAUTION
USE EXTREME CARE WHEN
HANDLING THE POWER SPRING!
!
Be sure the mounting
surface is strong enough to
support the reels, the
weight of the fluids and the
stress caused by hard pulls on the service
hoses. See page 3 for dry weights of the
hose reel assemblies.
WARNING
!
WARNING
!
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 gives 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 below
100°F (38°C). Examples: gasoline,
alcohol. Sparking could result in
an explosion which could result in
death.
Pressure Relief Procedure:
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury,
including fluid injection or splashing into the eyes
and/or onto the skin, follow this procedure below
before maintaining and/or repairing the pump,
solenoid and/or impulse meter or any part of your
system.
1. Disconnect the air supply from the pump.
2. Open the dispensing valve into an approved
waste container to relieve pressure on the
system.
3. Leave any bleed-type drain valves open until
you are ready to use the system again.
