The HoseMaster was designed for longevity of operation with very little maintenance required. When dealing with a
drinking water safe device, it is extremely important to keep exposed parts that come into contact with your potable water
free of debris or contaminates. With each use of the HoseMaster always
REPLACE THE HOSE CAP
when the water hose
is disconnected from a supply source.
CHECK TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS RUBBING
or binding on the storage spool.
CHECK ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS,
at least once a year, to be sure they are secure and free of corrosion.

NSTRUCTIONS
To operate the
HoseMaster
, follow these steps:
—
PULL OUT ONLY
the amount of hose required to reach the dockside water supply bib.
—
TURN ON
the dockside water supply to remove any standing water, then turn OFF.
—
REMOVE
the HoseMaster’s hose cap and inspect gasket.
—
SCREW THE FEMALE HOSE FITTING
onto the dockside water supply bib until leak-tight.
(use 51564 (optional accessory) at docks with high supply pressures to protect your vessel’s system)
—
TURN ON
the dockside water supply. Ship is now being equipped with water from dockside supply.
When ready to get underway:

RELEASE
the push-button power switch to stop the unit
(continuing to push
the power button may cause damage to the motor and will cause the circuit breaker switch to trip—reset before
next use)
.
