PROBLEMS DURING INSTALLATION
1. HOSE ALIGNMENT (Fig. 5)
The alignment of the hose to the roller guide assembly is crucial
to the proper operation of the Hosemaster™. When installed
correctly the hose should NOT pull to one side of the roller guide
assembly as shown in the illustrations (right). Installation A and
C show POOR alignment and should be avoided. Installation B
shows GOOD alignment and is recommended for the best op-
eration of the unit.
2. WATER CONNECTION (installer provided)
MAINTENANCE
The Hosemaster - Model S™ and Model-D™ are designed for
longevity of operation with very little maintenance required.
• Any difficulty in the extension or retraction of the hose should
be inspected immediately. Inspect water connections on a rou-
tine basis.
• When winterizing, caution should be taken to prevent freeze damage to Hosemaster - Model S™ or Model-D™.
2. SIDE BRACKET INSTALLATION (Fig. 2)
The side brackets are used when mounting the base unit to the ceiling or wall of a stor-
age area.
1) Attach the side brackets to the Hosemaster base unit as shown in the illustration in
Figure 2 using the (4) screws provided with the brackets. Tighten securely.
2) Install (4) 1/4 - 20 lock nuts and washers to roller shafts.
3) Depending on the configuration of the base unit for your installation, it may be nec-
essary to attach the side brackets in one of the other locations on the side of the Hose-
master. As the illustrations depicts, you may rotate the side brackets around the face
of the base unit to achieve the desired mounting location.
4) DO NOT attach the Hosemaster brackets to an exterior wall. Attach the side brack-
ets to the ceiling or wall of the storage area using (4) #10 screws.
3. EDGE BRACKET INSTALLATION (Fig. 3)
The edge bracket is used when mounting the base unit to the ceiling, floor, and side
or back wall of a storage area.
1) Unlike the side bracket installation above, you must install the edge bracket to the
storage space BEFORE attaching the bracket to the Hosemaster. Make sure that you
DO NOT attach the bracket to an exterior wall. Attach the edge bracket to the wall or
ceiling / floor using (4) #10 type screws. Tighten securely.
3) Depending on the configuration of the base unit for your installation, it may be nec-
2) Install (4) 1/4 - 20 locknuts and washers to roller shafts.
essary to attach the edge bracket in one of the other locations on the side of the Hose-
master. As the illustrations depics, you may rotate the edge bracket around the width
of the base unit to achieve the desired mounting location.
4. HATCH INSTALLATION (Fig. 4)
When using the Recessed Hatch Assembly, you will still be re-
quired to install the Hosemaster™ using one of the 3 methods
described above. Two styles of hatch assemblies are available
(PN 99582-REC shown and PN 99582-SN), each hatch assem-
bly will be installed as indicated below.
1) Using a 2.75” bit, drill a hole where you have determined suf-
ficient space is available for the installation of the recessed hatch
assembly. Insert cup through hole and open cap exposing
mounting screw holes.
2) Using three (3) #10 screws NOT provided, insert into screw
holes in flange and tighten screws against mounting cup housing
being careful not to break plastic flange with too much force.
3) Pull out a length of hose and insert it through the bottom of the hatch. Connect the sprayer attachment to the hose inserting rubber washer between
hose adapter and sprayer attachment. Pull and release hose to retract hose so that sprayer attachment fits into the recessed hatch assembly.
4) Make sure cap closes securely.

TO EXTEND THE HOSE:
Pull out sufficient hose length until you hear an audible “click”.
Releasing tension when “click” is heard will lock hose length
into place.
TO RETRACT THE HOSE:
Pull hose until NO CLICK is heard and release. Hose will auto-
matically retract (
CAUTION — Spray attachment may scratch or
injure surface if left to retract unattended).

5) Connect a length of hose from the water source to the 1/2” NPT inlet con-
nector located on the side of the reel. HOLD nut on opposite side of inlet fitting
when tightening inlet fitting.
4) Attach the edge bracket to the Hosemaster base unit as shown in the illustration in
Figure 3 using the (4) screws provided with the bracket. Tighten securely.
When determining where you will mount the Hosemaster™,
ample space must be provided on the water connection side of
the unit. The dimensional drawing on page 1 shows a minimum
of 1.60” required for the addition of the water connection hard-
ware (not provided with unit).
HOLD nut on opposite side of inlet fitting when tightening inlet
fitting.
5) Connect a length of hose from the water source to the 1/2” NPT inlet con-
nector located on the side of the reel. HOLD nut on opposite side of inlet fitting when
tightening inlet fitting.
