SEVEN POSITION LOCKING BRACE
LEVELWIND retractable hose reels can swing freely on bracket
or can be locked in one of seven positions, allowing for specific
mounting requirements.
Standard bracket
1) Remove bracket rod from reel. (SEE FIGURE 5A)
2) Place seven position locking brace over bracket so
that bracket rod holes are aligned. Replace bracket rod so that
brace, reel & bracket are attached. Insert hitch-pin clip through
end of bracket rod.(SEE FIGURE 5B)
3) Rotate bracket so that it is at desired angle & lock
into place with fastener. (SEE FIGURE 5B)
Maintenance Procedures
TENSION ADJUSTMENT:
This reel is preloaded with spring tension that is set at the factory.
If the reel becomes completely un-tensioned, please identify
your hose reel model number referenced in the Factory Preset
Tensioning Table to find out how many turns are needed for proper
tensioning. If a heavy air tool is attached to the end of the hose,
you may need to add tension to overcome the weight of this tool.
DO NOT EXCEED one full turn past the number of turns listed in
the Factory Preset Tensioning Chart below.

HOSE REPLACEMENT:
To ensure proper performance, please consult the Hose
Replacement Kit table for the appropriate part number
to order. Call 1(800) 645-8258 to order kit.
Replacement Hose Kits
1) Pull entire length of hose out of reel. ( SEE FIGURE 8 )
2) While entire length of hose is out of the reel, place long
screw driver (3/8 in. in diameter (9 mm)) all the way
though the hole located at the back portion of reel. This
eliminates any chance for the reel to retract while replac-
ing hose.
Sideplate removal
3) Locate inlet sideplate. Remove four fasteners (SEE FIGURE 9 ). While placing fingers
on grooves located on the top and bottom of sideplate, depress locking tabs at the same
time with thumbs (SEE FIGURE 10). Rotate side plate either way until sideplate unlocks.
Remove sideplate.
4) Remove wear plate (SEE FIGURE 11). Unscrew two fasteners on wear ring and remove
wear ring (SEE FIGURE 12).
