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. Pressurized 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 a final adjustment to the bumper block (34) is required, pull the hose from the reel and allow it to
latch at a desired length. Loosen the bumper block bolts, and slide it to a position close to the
rollers on the ends of the support plates. Retighten the bolts.
Before Each Use
 Ensure that the hose reel is in proper working order before use.
 Inspect the hose reel fittings, alignment, hoses and components periodically before use. Have
damaged or worn components repaired or replaced by an authorized technician.
Operating Instructions
 Check the reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out the hose. A “clicking” noise will be heard
every half revolution of the drum.
 To latch the reel, pull out the hose then allow it to retract after hearing the first, second, or
third “click”.
 To unlatch the reel, slowly pull out the hose until the “clicking” noise stops then, holding on to
the hose, let it retract in a controlled way until the stop/block rests against the hose
guide/rollers.
 Keep the hose and air-tools or nozzles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
 Periodically clean the hose with a cloth dipped in warm water to remove dirt or deposits and
ensure correct winding on the reel. Do not use detergents or solvents which could prove
incompatible with cable-winder materials.
 Also periodically check the hose condition for wear or damage, and check the swivel fitting for
leakage. See the maintenance section for tips to replace any worn, damaged, or leaking parts.
Spring Tension Adjustment
Avoid accidentally releasing the reel’s latching mechanism. The reel is under tension and
accidental release can cause a wildly spinning reel and personal injury.
If necessary, adjust spring tension on reel by adding or removing wraps of hose from spool, one wrap
at a time, until desired tension is obtained.
1. Pull out approximately 6 or 8 feet of hose and allow the drum to latch.
2. Remove hose stop/block from the hose and pull the hose back through guide/rollers.
