SPECIFIC OPERATION WARNINGS
WARNING: Exposure of skin directly to pressurized air or fluids could result in
severe bodily injury.
1. Use proper eye protection when assembling and using the hose reel.
2. Keep children away from the work area.
3. Personal injury and/or equipment damage may result if proper safety precautions are not
observed.
4. Assemble the hose reel on a clean workbench.
5. Use soap and water when checking for leaks.
6. Ensure that reel is properly installed before connecting input and output hoses.
7. Bleed fluid/gas pressure from system before servicing reel.
8. Before connecting reel to supply line, ensure that pressure does not exceed maximum
working pressure rating of reel.
9. Even low pressure is very dangerous and can cause personal injury or death.
10. If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, remove system pressure immediately.
11. Ensure that reel, hose, and equipment serviced are properly grounded.
12. If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove system pressure immediately.
13. Do not pull or jerk on hose.
INSTALLATION
Typical mounting positions of the reel can be wall mounting, floor mounting or ceiling mounting.
See Figure 1.
NOTE: Reels must be installed at least 10 feet above the floor if they are ceiling mounted
overhead.
1. Mount the reel in the desired location through the four holes in the base. The reel base has
four 1/2" (or 12.7mm) drilled holes for mounting on a suitable flat surface. Be sure to use
appropriate hardware (not supplied) and tighten them securely.
2. Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to the outlet fitting on reel hose, and then attach it to the
desired tool like nozzle. Make sure that no connections will leak and hose reel can work well.
Details see OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS section.
3. Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to the supply line threads, and then attach it to the reel inlet
properly. The other end of supply line can now be connected to desired supply source.
4. The reel is supplied with a hose guide roller bracket. The bracket position can be changed
following the instructions as below:
1) Pull out some hose and let the reel latch.
2) Remove the bolts that attach the guide roller bracket to the support post.
3) Rotate guide roller bracket to correct position, replace bolts and tighten.
5. If hose stopper adjustment is required, pull hose from reel and latch it at desired length.
Loosen stopper bolts and slide stopper to a position close to the hose guide. Tighten stopper
bolts, and unlatch the reel.

Installation of Hose
①. Securely stabilize the reel.
②. Facing the swivel fitting side of reel: Turn the drum clockwise, by hand, until the rewind
spring is tight, and drum has latched. As an extra precaution while installing new hose,
secure drum in the latched position.
③. Insert end of the hose through guide roller bracket, and feed through the opening in the
drum flange.
④. Use Teflon tape or pipe sealant on hose fitting threads, screw fitting into swivel and tighten.
Note: To avoid damage to the swivel, use a wrench to support the swivel fitting while tightening
the hose.
⑤. Attach hose stopper on the other end of hose, near the outlet fitting.
⑥. Carefully release drum latch, and slowly allow hose to wind onto the reel.
Note: Final spring tension adjustment is accomplished by adding wraps of hose around the
drum (to increase tension) or taking off wraps of hose (to decrease tension). Refer to Adjust-
ment of Spring Tension.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
1. Check reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out the hose. A "clicking" noise will be
heard every half revolution of the drum.
2. To latch the reel, pull out the hose and allow it to retract after hearing the first second or third
"click".
3. To unlatch, slowly pull out the hose until the "clicking" noise stops, then let the hose retract
until the hose stop rests against the hose guide. Note: To avoid damage to the reel, always
hold on to the hose while it is rewinding.
4. Periodically check the hose condition for wear or damage, and check the swivel fitting for
leakage. Replace any worn, damaged, or leaking parts.
Adjustment of Spring Tension
1 Pull out approximately 6 feet or 2m of hose and allow the drum to latch.
2 Remove hose stopper from hose, and feed hose back through guide.
3 Wrap the pulled hose one time around the drum to increase tension or unwrap hose one time
from drum to decrease tension.
4 Reinsert hose through guide, and install stopper onto hose end.
5 Unlatch the Drum and check tension. Pull hose from reel, and adjust stopper position if
necessary.
Replacement of Swivel Seal
1 Turn off and disconnect supply line from swivel inlet.
2 Remove swivel assembly from reel axle.
3 Remove snap ring from swivel, and take apart. Note: You may want to remove swivel from
reel hose end, but this is not necessary unless a new swivel is being installed.
4 Replace the seals and reassemble swivel.
5 Use Teflon type or thread sealant on swivel thread fitting, reconnect the swivel thread fitting
with axle.
6 Reconnect inlet supply line.
Replacement of Hose
1 Turn off supply to reel.
2 Pull out all the old hose and lock the reel in this position. Caution: Make sure reel drum is
securely locked and cannot rotate back.
3 Remove two hose clamps from hose.
4 Carefully disconnect hose from swivel joint on side of reel, or male fitting in axle center and
remove old hose.
