READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL, OPERATE, OR MAINTAIN THIS PRODUCT. ONLY
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD UNDERTAKE THE INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING OF THIS PRODUCT. FAILURE TO COMPLY
WITH INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
 PERSONAL SAFETY
1.) Ensure reel has been properly installed before connecting supply
line. Note: Reel should NOT be installed above 15 feet maximum
from the floor.
2.) Before connecting to reel, be certain supply line does not exceed
rated pressure of the reel.
3.) If reel was purchased without hose, thoroughly review the “Hose
Installation” instructions to properly install hose.
4.) Perform “Operational Check” per instructions to ensure reel is
operating properly. NEVER use a spring retractable reel that is
not performing as intended.
5.) If a leak should occur after applying pressure to the reel,
immediately discontinue supply line pressure.
 MOUNTING OF REEL
1.) Reel is supplied with guide arm in standard positions depending
on model. Note: Series E does not include a guide arm and
Series EN is enclosed reel as shown.
a.) Guide arm may be adjusted to desired location as shown in
figure 1.0. Refer to figure 2.0 for Series EN models.
b.) Pull out hose until reel latches.
c.) Remove four bolts holding guide arm to support base.
d.) Reposition guide arm and securely fasten four bolts.
2.) To mount reel to a solid structure you will need four 7/16” M12
bolts, washers, and nuts. Four masonry bolts may be used
depending on mounting application. Mounting hardware is NOT
provided. The mounting base of the reel has two ½” slots and two
½” holes. Mounting patterns will vary depending on model.
3.) Loosely fit two pieces of mounting hardware to ceiling/floor/or wall
so that reel can be slid into position. Fit reel. Install two pieces of
hardware in other end of reel. Securely fasten all bolts and nuts.
 INSTALLATION
1.) Apply thread sealant to inlet hose and connect to the swivel joint
on reel. Note: A swivel type connector is required on supply line.
CAUTION: IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE A “FLEXIBLE” INLET
HOSE. DO NOT USE SOLID PIPING OR RESTRAIN INLET HOSE
AS TO CAUSE ANY SIDE FORCE ON SWIVEL JOINT. THE
WARRANTY IS VOID IF NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED.
2.) Flush some product through the system before connecting inlet
hose to the source. Connect end to supply source.
3.) If reel includes hose (Otherwise, See Installation of Hose), flush
some product through system before connecting end fitting,
nozzle, or tool.
4.) Apply thread sealant to outlet hose fitting. Connect end, nozzle, or
tool as desired.
5.) If hose stopper adjustment is required to allow easy reach of end
fitting or tool. Latch reel at approximate desired location; loosen
(two) ball stop bolts. Move ball stop and tighten bolts. Unlatch reel.

 OPERATIONAL CHECK
1.) Check reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out hose. A
clicking noise will be heard after each half revolution of the drum.
2.) LATCH the reel. Pull out the hose and allow it to slightly retract
after the first, second or third “click” is heard.
3.) UNLATCH the reel. Slowly pull the hose until the clicking noise
stops, and then allow the hose to retract. The hose stopper
should rest against the roller hose guide.
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW HOSE TO RETRACT WITHOUT
RESTRAINING RECOIL SPEED. NEVER LET GO OF THE HOSE
WHEN REWINDING. NOTE: EZ-COIL

 MODELS ARE DESIGNED
