reel to a flat surface (F
IG

NOTE:
Graco recommends placing a rag over
the bottom roller and the back frame to protect
these surfaces from damage when the c-clamps
are tightened down.
9. Unwind reel to remove spring tension
before beginning disassembly.
a.
Verify the ratchet and latch are still engaged and
the c-clamp is still installed.
b.
Feed the loose end of hose through the hose
rollers and manually wrap hose and secure the
hose to reel spool (F
IG
. 9).
c.
Place a piece of tape on the side of reel flange
as a visual reference point for counting reel
rotations.
d.
Remove c-clamp (A).
e.
Rotate spool in the tightening direction to disen-
gage latch.
f.
Use your hands to unwind reel by rotating the
spool in the opposite direction turned to add
spring tension, until it the reel reaches a free
state.
NOTE:
Count the number of turns while unwinding the
spool and record the number for use when tensioning
the spring later.
NOTICE
The front c-clamp should only be tightened enough to
prevent the reel from moving. Overtightening this clamp
could damage the bottom roller.

•
Always wear heavy, non-slippery gloves to protect
your hands from being cut on the hose reel.
• Never allow the reel to spin freely. Doing so
causes the spool to spin out of control, which
could cause serious injury if you are hit by the
hose or dispense valve.
