PowerWind runs backwards
1. Reel runs the incorrect
direction.
1. Remove the motor cover and switch the motor
wires.
Hose is difficult to unwind
1. Belt not positioned properly
on pulleys
1. Remove the belt cover. Position the belt so it is
centered on the pulleys. The belt should not be
riding on the edges of the pulleys.
Loud clicking when motor runs, reel may or may not turn.
1. Gear pulley disengaged
2. Gear cover coming loose
1. Remove the belt cover. Push the gear pulley in.
Push the axle in. Replace the belt cover being
sure that the axle seats in the belt cover properly.
2. Make sure the gear cover is snapped down in all
locations. A mallet may be required to push in
the snaps. Manually turn the tracker bar to help
mesh the gears if there is difficulty getting the
snaps to engage.
Motor runs, no loud clicking and reel does not turn
1. Pedal not being pushed hard
enough
2. Check pulleys and belt for
wear
3. Make sure shaft on gearmotor
is turning
4. Make sure all pulleys and
gears are installed
1. The pedal should be pushed down as far as
possible when reeling in a hose. On the PWC150,
be sure to use the entire surface of the pedal.
2. Open the belt cover and remove the belt and
pulleys. The belt should have grooves on the
inside. The pulleys should have mating grooves.
There should be no signs of melted plastic on the
pulleys. Replace the belt and pulleys if there are
signs of excessive wear.
3. Remove the belt cover and disconnect all hose
from the reel. Depress the foot pedal to make
sure the shaft on the gearmotor is turning. If it
does not turn but the motor can be heard, replace
the gearmotor.
4. Disconnect all hose from the reel. Turn the
tracker screw by hand. The reel should turn at the
same time. If it does not turn, the idler gear
between the tracker and the reel is missing or not
engaging. Next, remove the belt cover. When the
gear pulley is removed, gear teeth should be
visible from the inside of the unit. If they are not
visible, an idler is missing.
