INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Ensure that reel, hose, and
equipment are properly grounded. Use an
ohmmeter to check ground continuity.
Mounting
CAUTION:
Unless reel was specified different-
ly when ordering, maximum installation height
is 16 feet. Do not exceed this distance.
Maximum Operating Temperature:
Low pressure (300 psi) = 150 °F (66 °C)
Medium pressure (2000 psi) = 210 °F (99 °C)
1. Unpack and inspect reel for damage.
Turn by hand to check for smooth opera-
tion. Check for completeness.
2. Configure reel for top, side or bottom
hose dispensing by removing the bolts
(2) from one side of the guide roller
bracket and loosening the four guide arm
bolts (3) on each side of the hose reel.
Rotate and remove each guide arm then
reinstall in the desired configuration. If
bottom wind is desired, bolts (13) and
bolts (2) must be removed and replaced
after the guide arm is in position.
CAUTION
:
When changing guide arm
positions, the U-bolt must be placed in the
proper location as instructed in figure A. The
reel can “latch out” during use if this instruc-
tion is not adhered to.
3. Position reel on floor, wall, or ceiling.
Secure into place using four (customer
supplied) bolts.
Installing the Input Hose
WARNING
: Ensure that supply line pressure
does not exceed maximum working pressure
rating of reel. Apply pipe thread sealant to all
threads on standard reels. Do not overtighten
connection. Recommended torque not to
exceed 70 ft. lb.
CAUTION
:
Use flexible hose connection at
input. Do not use rigid plumbing.
1. Apply thread sealant as directed and con-
nect swivel (12) to main shaft input (5).
2. For standard shaft and swivel reels, con-
nect customer supplied inlet hose (4) to
swivel input as indicated in illustration.
Installing the Output Hose
WARNING
:
Use extreme caution; reel under
tension. Avoid releasing latch mechanism.
CAUTION
:
Apply pipe thread sealant to all
threads on standard reels. Do not overtighten
connection. Recommended torque not to
exceed 70 ft. lb.
1. Manually turn sheave (6) until spring is
tight, back off 3 turns, then latch.
2. Route output hose (7) through roller
bracket (1), U-bolts (8), then through
cutout (9) in spool as indicated in illus-
tration.
3. Connect output hose (7) to gooseneck
(10) as indicated in illustration.
4. Verify U-bolt position conforms with
guide arm position using label inside
spool. Then tighten nuts (11) on U-bolt
(8).
5. Charge hose. Momentarily open control
valve to purge hose of gases. When fluid
appears at control valve, close valve.
With hose fully charged, release latch and
wind output hose onto reel.
6. Install bumper stop assembly.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Use extreme caution; reel under
tension. Avoid releasing latch mechanism.
If necessary, adjust spring tension on reel by
manually adding or removing wraps of hose
from spool, one wrap at a time, until desired
tension is obtained. Manually add wraps to
increase tension. Remove wraps to decrease
tension.
CAUTION:
When adding wraps of hose, add
just enough wraps to acheive the desired
tension without exceeding the winding mecha-
nism’s spring capacity. Properly tensioned
reels allow all hose to be freely removed from
the spool until the point of U-bolt contact.
Damage to the winding mechanism will result
if spring is over-tensioned.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
User servicing of the reel is limited to replac-
ing input/output hoses only. Refer all other
repairs to an authorized service person or
directly to Reelcraft. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage and may void the warranty.
WARNING:
Rewind hose on reel, then bleed
pressure from system before performing the
following procedures.
CAUTION:
Remove all spring tension before
disassembling the hose reel. Do not attempt to
open the riveted spring case assembly.
1. Replace hoses in accordance with proce-
dures given in “Installation Instructions”
section of this manual.
2. All mating moving parts have been fac-
tory lubricated as required.
