Connect the hoses
4. Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to the supply hose threads then attach it to the swivel (38-4) and
tighten. Note: To avoid damage to the swivel, use a wrench to support the swivel while tightening
the hose. If not already connected, the unpressurized supply hose can now be connected to the
supply source.
If the reel was supplied with hose already wound on it, continue with step 10. If not, continue with the
next step.
5. Turn the reel drum by hand until the rewind spring is tight, and drum has latched. As an extra
precaution while installing the new hose, secure the drum in its latched position.
6. Insert the end of the delivery hose through the guide support plate (7-5) and feed it to the opening
in the drum.
7. Use Teflon tape or pipe sealant on the hose fitting threads then screw it into the angle fitting
assembly (32) and tighten.
8. Attach the bumper block (25-1) to the other end of delivery hose.
9. Carefully release the drum latch, and slowly allow hose to wind onto the reel in a controlled way
making sure the hose winds in even, straight turns on the reel.
10. Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to the outlet fitting on the hose then attach it to a desired tool, or
nozzle. Pressurize the reel and check all the connections for leakage. Also check the hose reel
for correct rotation/latching and that system pressure is adequate to perform the intended function
(see the Operating Instructions).
11. If an adjustment to the bumper block (25-1) is required, pull the hose from the reel and allow it to
latch at a desired length. Loosen the block bolts, and slide it to a position close to the roller
bracket. Retighten the bolts.
