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. Prior to mounting the hose reel, ensure that the supply hose pressure does not exceed the
maximum working pressure of the hose reel. Also check that the pressure source is turned off and
the supply hose for the reel is not pressurized.
2. Unpack the reel then check that all parts are present and inspect for damage. Check reel function
for smooth rotation.
3. Fasten the mounting base (1) in the desired location. Reel dimensions and the pattern of the
mounting holes in the base are shown below. Tighten all hardware securely.
Units Conversions (for base hole spacing): 242mm = 9-1/2 inches 398mm = 15-11/16 inches
Connect the hoses
4. Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to the supply hose threads then attach it to inlet hose fitting (21)
and tighten. 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 rollers (39) and the to the opening in the
drum.
