Safety
Personal injury and/or equipment damage may result if proper safety
precautions are not observed.
Ensure that reel is properly installed before connecting input and
output hoses.
Ensure that working pressure and temperature do not exceed rating of
reel.
Be aware of machinery and personnel in work area.
If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, remove from service immediately.
A high tension spring assembly is contained within the reel. Exercise
extreme caution.
If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove from service immediately.
Do not pull or jerk on hose!
Other than replacing the hoses, refer all other repairs only to an
authorized service person or directly to Reelcraft. Failure to do so
may void the warranty.
Installation Instructions
Mounting
1. Position reel on floor, wall, or ceiling. Secure into place using
four (customer supplied) bolts (1).
CAUTION:
When adding wraps of hose, be careful not to exceed
the winding mechanism’s spring capacity. Add just enough wraps
of hose to achieve the desired tension. Damage to the winding
mechanism will result if spring is over-tensioned.
If necessary, adjust spring tension on reel by adding or removing wraps
of hose from spool, one wrap at a time, until desired tension is obtained.
Add wraps to increase tension. Remove wraps to decrease tension.
WARNING: Use extreme caution; reel under tension. Avoid
releasing latch mechanism.
