INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MOUNTING
Caution:
Unless reel was specified differently when ordering,
maximum installation height is 16 feet. Do not exceed this dis-
tance.
1. Unpack and inspect reel for damage. Turn by hand to check
for smooth operation. Check for completeness.
2. Configure reel for top, side or bottom-wind hose dispensing
by removing nuts (1) securing guide arm bracket (2). Position
guide arm bracket to desired location, and replace nuts.
Caution:
When changing guide arm positions, the U-bolt
must be placed in the proper location as instructed in figure A
below. The reel can “latch out” during use if this instruction is
not adhered to.
3. Position reel on floor, wall, or ceiling. Secure into place using
four (customer supplied) bolts (3).
