CHANGING THE HOSE
1. Release all tension on the hose prior to
commencing. See section “ADJUSTING
THE SPRING TENSION”.
2. Note that all the hose needs to be pulled
out from the hose reel prior to commencing.
So the procedure in point 1 will have to be
done several times as the spring tension
will increase as the hose is extracted.
3. Once all the hose has been
pulled out move to point 3.
NOTE: DO NOT attempt to change the
hose while any tension on the spring
exists. Doing so can cause injury
.
4. Using a flat head screw driver, remove
the side cover marked “cover removal” by
prying it open where indicated. (this cover
is the same side as the inlet side of the
hose reel.
5. Move the internal drum until you expose
the hose connection window on the internal
drum. Use a small spanner / screw driver to
undo the hose clamp. Remove hose from
barded hose connection on the internal
drum and feed hose out of the hose reel.
6. Feed new hose through the roller guide
onto the barbed hose connection on the
internal drum. Retighten the hose clamp.
7. Replace the inlet side cover.
8. Re-tension the spring by following the
section “ADJUSTING THE SPRING
TENSION”.
9. As the spring gets more tension the hose
will automatically retract back into the hose
reel. Once hose has completely retracted
into the hose reel, adjust the tension on the
spring accordingly.
DO NOT over tension the spring. Doing
so will not allow the hose to be pulled out
entirely and may result in damage to the
hose reel and spring mechanism.
