Replacing Hose
If hose becomes damaged, it may be necessary to replace it. In most cases, air hose can be replaced while reel is
still mounted. Replace air hose with same diameter and length of original hose. Installing a longer or shorter
hose will require Adjusting Recoil Tension (page 9).
1. Shut off incoming air supply and disconnect the lead-in hose from the reel.
2. Pull air hose out of the reel until one wrap remains on the drum. Lock the drum in position. Before proceeding,
be sure drum is locked at a position that allows you to access the air hose clamp and air hose connection to
hub outlet.
BE AWARE THAT THE RECOIL SPRING IS UNDER MAXIMUM TENSION WITH DRUM IN THIS
POSITION. BE CAREFUL NOT TO ACCIDENTALLY DISENGAGE LOCKING PAWL. DRUM WILL
SPIN WITH UNCONTROLLED SPEED.
3. Remove the air hose clamp from the drum and disconnect air hose end from the hub outlet. Remove the air hose
from the reel. Save the spring guard and hose clamp for the new hose.
4. Feed the new hose through the roller guide, reinstall the spring guard, and connect the hose end to the reel hub
outlet. Do not use sealing tape on threads.
5. Reinstall the hose clamp and air hose stopper. Pull air hose to disengage the locking pawl and rewind the air
hose. Reconnect lead-in hose and turn on incoming air supply. Check all connections to verify there are no leaks.
