CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WINTERIZING AND STORAGE
Drain the hose reel prior to the onset of freezing temperatures. If any trapped water freezes, it may cause
damage to the hose reel, hose, and even your pipes.
Store the entire unit - including hose reel and hose - inside your garage or storage shed at above-freezing
temperatures. Storing your hose reel inside during the winter is an excellent way of protecting your garden
hose, leader hose and O-Rings.

REGARDING CARE AND MAINTENANCE
When you install your hose reel, be sure the hose washers are in place and all fittings are secure. If you live
in more temperate climates, be sure to drain the unit of any residual water before storing.
• DO NOT EXPOSE UNIT TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES
while water remains in the plumbing system,
this can damage the hose connections.
•
DO NOT
leave water running through the reel while not in use or unsupervised.
Your hose reel is manufactured with the finest quality components available. This product will give you many
seasons of reliable and functional hose storage. All components in the product are manufactured to rigorous
quality standards not common in other consumer grade hose reels available today. In the case of wall
mounted reels, be sure to use stainless steel mounting hardware. We recommend that you periodically
inspect your reel for any surface damage.
NOTE: Liberty Basic’s plastic hose reels use ultraviolet light
stabalizers in our plastic, but over time, the plastic color, depending on the amount of sunlight, can
fade.
WARNING: DO NOT
consume water from garden hose; not fit for human consumption.
