After Each Use
 Inspect the hose reel fittings, alignment, hoses and components periodically after use so that
worn or damaged components can be ordered and replaced before the next use. Have damaged
or worn components repaired or replaced by an authorized technician.
Maintenance
Maintain your reel. It is recommended that the general condition of any tool be examined before it is
used. Keep your reel in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair and maintenance
in accordance with the recommended procedures found in this manual.
If the rewind spring fails, for safety reasons, it is strongly recommended the replacement of the
spring canister be performed by an authorized service technician. The spring can be under high
tension and accidental release can cause severe personal injury.
User servicing of the reel is limited to replacing input/output hoses and swivel maintenance only.
Refer all other repairs to an authorized service technician. Failure to do so can result in person injury
and/or equipment damage and may void the warranty.
 Use soap and water when checking for air leaks.
Hose Replacement
To avoid a dangerous sudden release of pressure that can cause severe injury, ensure that the
pressure source for the reel is turned off and the supply hose is not pressurized before performing
any maintenance or adjustment on the reel.
1. Turn off the pressure supply to reel and release pressure from the system in a controlled way.
Make sure reel drum is securely locked in the next step and cannot accidentally spin.
2. Pull out all the old hose and lock the reel in position.
3. Take note of the hose connection, any hose clamps, and the position of the stop/block on the hose.
4. Remove any hose clamps from the hose.
5. Carefully disconnect the hose from its connection and remove it.
6. Route a new equivalent type and size hose through guide/rollers to the old hose connection point.
7. Use Teflon tape or pipe sealant on the hose fitting threads then screw it into the connection fitting
on the reel. Note: To avoid damage to a swivel connection, use a wrench to support the swivel
while tightening the hose.
8. Re-install any hose clamps and the hose stop/block as noted in step 2.
9. Carefully release the drum latch, and slowly allow the hose to wind onto the reel.
10. Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to the outlet fitting on the new hose then attach it to a desired
tool, or nozzle. Pressurize the reel and check all the connections for leakage.
11. If needed, adjust the spring tension. See Spring Tension Adjustment in the Operation section.
