Smart winding
Your winder has a smart motor control which allows you to adjust the fire hose winding speed. The reason is your
convenience and safety as well as battery protection.
1. How does it work? After WORK is pressed, the motor begins winding at zero speed. Then it switches to the
highest revs very quickly and while the hose is gradually being wound, it starts lowering the revs so that with the
increasing diameter of the wound hose, the winding speed for the free end of the hose remains safe.
2. Release WORK before completing the winding process and by pressing it intermittently you will achieve the lowest safe
winding speed (see Graph 1).
3. Overloading – if the hose gets stuck or stepped on, or for other reasons, the winding force may become excessively high.
In such a case, the system automatically disconnects the battery and warns the user by a fast warning sound and by the
WORK button blinking. After the WORK button is released and the obstacle removed, the machine is ready to be used
again in a few seconds.
4. Overheating – the machine has a recommended working temperature range. When the highest safe temperature
(140 °F) is exceeded, the battery is automatically disconnected from the machine. The reason is battery protection
against overheating. After cooling down, the machine is ready to be used again.
5. Battery discharged – if battery capacity decreases under the safety limit, the battery is disconnected from the device,
a slow warning signal is heard and the WORK button’s light indicator goes off. The reason is battery protection against
destruction. After the battery is recharged, the machine is ready to be used again. The machine comes with the original
charger, which can fully recharge the battery in about 5 hours. The machine is designed in such a way that the charger
can be connected to the winder permanently (charging is automatically stopped when the battery is fully charged).
REVERSE function
By turning on the REVERSE function on the control panel and pressing the WORK button, the reverse run of the carrier is
activated. This function is mainly used for controlled unwinding of an already wound fire hose. Two persons are needed for
this function to be used. One person controls the winder (switching on REVERSE and pressing WORK) while the other person
grips the metal couplings of the wound hose and moves away from the winder in accordance with the winder revs. When
this function is used (both with the unwinding interrupted and uninterrupted), the fire hose is unwound at high speed all the
time (see Graph below). Therefore, it is necessary to be extremely careful.
