 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.
 Use soap and water when checking for air leaks. Exposure of skin directly to pressurized air or
fluids could result in severe bodily injury, including blood poisoning.
Operating Instructions
⚠WARNING
 Wear the proper protective equipment including ANSI Z87.1 compliant eye protection, non-slip
boots, and gloves.
 Never attach any tool or accessory to the hose unless it is capable of safely operating at the rated
pressure.
 If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, remove system pressure immediately.
 If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove system pressure immediately.
 Do not kink the hose. Do not step on the hose or drive or drag objects over the hose. Do not place
any objects on the hose or hose reel.
 Pull the hose from the reel by grasping the hose itself, not the valve.
 Check the reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out the hose. A clicking sound 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 sound 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.
