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. Unlatch the drum and check the tension. Readjust the tension by repeating these steps.
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.
