Important Instructions
• To help prevent rust, check for any scratches on your hose cart. Apply clear acrylic/weatherproof paint to
avoid rusting.
• When attaching the garden hose to the out-tube and/or the leader hose to the in-tube, be sure
to attach correctly. Cross threading could cause permanent damage.
• Before winding your hose, remove the nozzle or other attachment and drain as much water out of the hose as possible. This will
prevent extra stress on the hose reel (from the weight of the water) that could cause permanent damage.
• To unwind your hose, pull the hose out away from your hose reel in a straight line. To rewind the hose, walk the end back to the
hose reel so the hose is in a “U” shape in front of the reel. This assists in easier rewinding of the hose. If applicable, place your foot
ON the right side foot hold during winding and unwinding to stabilize the unit, and keep hands free from the range of the rotating
crank handle.
• When you are finished using your hose reel, turn off the water source. Do not leave water pressure on when not in use.
• Store hose reel indoors during colder months. If hose reel must be left in freezing conditions, disconnect hose from faucet and
drain all water out of hose and reel. Freezing of trapped water may cause damage to reel, hose or pipes.
• Check in-tube and out-tube connections prior to first use each spring.If hose reel starts to leak, tighten all water connections and
check washers in the in-tube and the garden hose. Replace washers, if necessary.
• Once a year, remove the in-tube and clean and re-lube the o-rings. Re-install the in-tube.
