INSTALLATION OF OUTLET HOSE
NOTE: Before proceeding, ensure that you are installing the proper
size, length and type of hose that the reel is rated for. Consult factory if
unsure of rating.
• Securely install hose reel prior to installing outlet hose.
• Apply thread sealant to male hose fitting and insert into the drum
opening. Note: It is recommended that a swivel type connector be
used to ease installation of outlet hose.
• Thread male hose fitting into outlet riser(s) (Refer to FIGURE 1.0).
Challenger series 100W
• Using a wrench, firmly hold on to riser fitting while tightening hose
connector.
NOTE: The hose clamp restrains the hose when fully extended,
preventing strain on the fitting.
CAUTION: FULLY EXTEND AND CHARGE HOSE BEFORE
INITIALLY WINDING ON TO REEL. THIS PREVENTS FLATTENING
OF HOSE AND EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON DRUM WHEN HOSE IS
FULLY CHARGED DURING OPERATION.
• Wind hose on to reel. Hold onto crank handle and turn. The operator
should hand guide the hose on to reel to achieve maximum capacity.
• Flush fluid through system. Inspect hose, connections, and swivel for
leaks.
INSTALLATION OF CABLE (1125WC SERIES)
NOTE: Before proceeding, ensure that you are installing the proper size,
length and type of cable that the reel is rated for. Refer to label to
determine amperage rating.
CAUTION: ENSURE THAT THE CABLE CONNECTOR IS SECURELY
CRIMPED, SOLDERED, OR CLAMPED TO CABLE.
• Place connector over stud (FIGURE 2.0) and install brass nut
(supplied).
• Using a wrench, firmly hold onto the nut under the connector while
tightening the outer nut.
