Once the desired spring tension is reached, latch reel in position. Feed hose end through
the roller assembly in guide arm and re-attach hose stopper.
7.
Re-connect incoming air supply.
D Replacing the Spring Canister
1.
Follow steps 1-4 under Recoil Tension Adjustment above.
2.
Unlatch the reel and allow the drum to slowly rewind until the tension in the spring is relieved
