Replacing the Spool Assembly
figure 12
Attach the reel securely to prevent it from moving. Pull out the
hose just until the latch pawl is engaged. Remove the hose bum-
per by removing the slotted screws (figure 6).
Disengage the latch pawl while maintaining a firm hold on the
spool. Turn the spool hand over hand approximately two or three
revolutions until the spring tension is removed.
Unscrew the swivel stem from the main shaft. Next, remove
the swivel by unscrewing the swivel from the hose (figure 11).
Remove the retaining ring and spacing washer (figure 12). Pull
the spool away from the base. Unwind the hose from the spool,
remove the u-bolt (figure 10).
Install the spool assembly by inserting the shaft of the base into
the hex shaped opening of the spool. Install spacing washer and
retaining ring as shown (figure 12). Install the swivel by screw-
ing the threaded stem of swivel into the main shaft of reel (figure
11).
Install the hose by screwing the hose fitting into the threaded
fitting on the swivel. Tighten connection with a wrench on both
fittings. Install the u-bolt (figure 10).
Pull in the hose by turning the spool by hand. When the hose
is completely wound onto the spool, turn the spool in the other
direction two to three revolutions. Pull the hose through the
roller opening in the guide arm and replace the hose bumper
(figure 6).
• Bleed fluid/air pressure from the system before servicing reel.
• Ensure that the reel is properly installed before connecting hoses.
• Before connecting reel to supply line, ensure that pressure does not exceed the maximum working
pressure rating of the reel. Remember, even low pressure is dangerous and can cause injury or death.
• If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, remove system pressure immediately.
• A high tension spring assembly under compression is enclosed in a tamper resistant compartment.
Do not open.
• Pull hose from reel by grasping the hose, not the attached tool.
• If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove system pressure immediately.
Do not pull or jerk on the hose.
