Prior to mounting the hose reel, ensure that the supply hose pressure does not exceed the maximum working pressure of the hose reel. Also check that the pressure source is turned off and the supply hose for the reel is not pressurized. Unpack the reel then check that all parts are present and inspect for damage. Check reel function for smooth rotation. Fasten the mounting base in the desired location. Reel dimensions and the pattern of the mounting holes in the base are shown below.
Note: Final spring tension adjustment is accomplished by adding wraps of hose around the drum (to increase tension) or taking off wraps of hose (to decrease tension). Refer to: Adjustment of Spring Tension. Figure 2. Before Each Use ⚠WARNING Before connecting a pressure source, ensure that supply pressure does not exceed the maximum working pressure rating of the reel and hose. Ensure that the reel is properly installed before connecting input and output hoses.
Do not kink the hose. Do not step on the hose or drive or drag objects over the hose. Do not place any objects on the hose or hose reel. Pull the hose from the reel by grasping the hose itself, not the valve. 1. 2. 3. 4. Check reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out the hose. A “clicking” noise will be heard every half revolution of the drum. To latch the reel, pull out the hose and allow it to retract after hearing the first, second, or third click.
After Each Use ⚠WARNING Bleed fluid/gas pressure from the reel before servicing. Use soap and water when checking for air leaks. Exposure of skin directly to pressurized air or fluids could result in severe bodily injury, including blood poisoning. Maintenance Maintain your reel. It is recommended that the general condition of any tool be examined before it is used.
