Important Safety Information Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions may result in serious injury. The warnings, cautions, and instructions in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions or situations that could occur. Exercise common sense and caution when using the reel. Always be aware of the environment and ensure that the reel is used in a safe and responsible manner.
REEL USE AND CARE Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the reel will operate properly and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the reel with a damaged part. Disconnect the air or fluid supply from the reel before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Assembly 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. Note: Before beginning assembly/installation, purchase appropriate hardware for mounting the reel. The mounting base has four 1/2” (12.7mm) holes for mounting on a suitable flat surface. Note: For overhead ceiling mounting: Install the reel at least 16.5 feet (5m) above the floor. 1.
7. Use Teflon tape or pipe sealant on the hose fitting threads then screw it into the fitting at the drum (16) and tighten. 8. Attach the bumper block (34) 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 that the hose winds in even, straight turns on the reel. 10. Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to the outlet fitting on the delivery hose then attach a desired tool, or nozzle.
When adding wraps of hose to the reel, be careful not to exceed the winding mechanism’s spring capacity. Add just enough wraps of hose to achieve the desired tension. Damage to the winding mechanism will result if spring is over-tensioned. 3. To increase spring tension, wrap the loose hose one extra turn around the drum or, to decrease tension, un-wrap the hose one turn from drum. 4. Re-insert the hose through guide/rollers and install the stop/block at the desired distance from the hose end. 5.
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.
