Step 16
With the hose clamp firmly
pinched together on the
hose, attach it to the reel
(using the screw, washer
and nut removed from the
clamp earlier), by aligning
the hole in the clamp with
the hole on the reel’s center
drum. Tighten firmly using
the long hex key wrench.

NOTE: (For Step 17 on next page)
The Kink-Free Spring is designed to prevent a kink in your garden
hose while creating the “loop” during STEP 17. Rapid Reel currently
supplies this one spring size which will fit into most 5/8" garden hoses.
However, it may not fit into certain brands. Use of the spring is not required and
Rapid Reel hose reels are designed to operate properly without it. If the spring does
not fit into your garden hose, simply use care during STEP 17 to avoid a hose kink when
curving the hose around to attach it to the swivel. If you’re going to purchase a new garden
hose for the reel, we recommend that you take the spring with you while shopping to ensure it
will slide into the hose.
