INSPECTION AND PREPARATION
1.
Check each unit to see that it is complete. The components of the system include:
A. Tubing Storage Reel. Reel also may have an attached CMW fan.
B. Hose assembly consisting of hose with flange one end, exhaust adapter other end, hardware and gasket to
attach hose to reel.
C. Up/down control, either wall mounted or a hanging pendant and any optional components.
2.
Check for any damage that may have been caused by shipping. If concealed damage is found, report it to the
carrier immediately. Car-Mon cannot be responsible for any damage not reported to the carrier in a timely
manner.
3.
Review the instruction sheets before proceeding with the installation.
REEL INSTALLATION
1.
Tubing storage reels may be wall or ceiling mounted. Make sure the mounting surface is level and plumb and
able to support the weight of the reel which can weigh up to several hundred pounds when the hose is attached.
Use all four mounting holes with bolts that are capable of withstanding the weight and stress of the reels. After
the reel is mounted, verify the reel is level. Extra large reels may have additional mounting supports.
2.
Connect the power supply . There are several different options that can be supplied with a power reel with
options for different up/down controllers and fan options. The wiring diagram in this manual is only for single
phase, 120v supply with the standard up/down wall mounted switch. If other options are supplied, a diagram will
be enclosed. If not, contact the factory immediately before proceeding with wiring. If there is any question as to
the correct diagram supplied, do not connect unit to power source.
NOTE: Any damage caused to reel
electrical components caused by improper wiring will be the responsibility of installer and not covered
by the factory warranty.
3.
After power is connected, push the "up" button on the up/down control. The drum should turn counterclockwise
when viewed from the motor end enclosure of the reel. If it does not turn in that direction, recheck the wiring
connections. If it is turning properly, use the up/down controls to run the reel from stop to stop position two or
three times to assure it is operating properly.
4.
The hose assembly can now be attached. Push the down button
control till the reel stops. The hose must be installed when the reel is
in the fully down position. All reels have been tested and preset to the
length of hose supplied. If different lengths of hose were ordered,
make sure to match the hose length to the correct reel.
Attach the flanged end of the hose to the pocket of the reel using the
gasket supplied between the flange and the pocket. When attaching,
the reel pocket should be in the 11-12 o’clock position. If for any
reason the reel is not in this approximate position, it will have to be
adjusted using the up limit switch. (See page 3 for adjustment of limit
switches)
After the hose has been attached, push the "up" button until the hose stops. The reel should stop with about three
feet of hose, including the adapter, hanging down from the reel. (If hose appears not to stop and the adapter is
about to go onto the reel, release the up button immediately.) Please note that some reels are shipped with an
extra length of hose that is not designed to wind onto the reel. In this case, more than three feet may hang down.
5.
Connect duct work to crimped discharge collar for models without a connected fan. Recheck all connections and
make sure all wiring is complete. Unit is now ready for final test.
6.
Put hose assembly in the complete down position. Hose should always be in the complete down position when
operating the system. Leaving tubing on the reel will increase static pressure and cut air flow and possibly cause
damage to the hose and reel. Turn on the fan and make sure a good air flow is going through the tube. Let
system run for a few minutes. Fan should be off before retracting hose.
