Installation of Reel
• For overhead ceiling mounting: Install reels at least 10 feet above the oor (maximum of 14’).
• If the reel you have purchased does not have hose included, you will need to purchase and attach.
• You will need to purchase appropriate hardware for mounting your new reel.
1 The reel base has four 1/2” (or 12.7mm) drilled holes for mounting on a suitable at surface. Error!
Reference source not found. is a template showing the correct location of the 4 mounting holes in
the base.
2. The reel is supplied with a hose guide roller bracket. The bracket position may be changed
depending on the reel mounting position. Figure 1 shows “Typical Mounting Positions”. If bracket
position needs to be changed, do the following:
(1) Pull out some hose and let 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.
2 Using the four holes in the base, mount the reel in the desired location. Be sure to use appropriate
hardware and tighten securely.
3 Apply Teon tape or pipe sealant to supply line threads, attach to reel inlet and tighten. The other
end of incoming line can now be connected to desired supply source.
4 If hose has been supplied with reel: Apply Teon tape or pipe sealant to outlet tting on reel hose,
then attach to desired tool, or nozzle. Check connection for leakage and check hose reel for correct
operation.
5 If hose stopper adjustment is required, pull hose from reel and allow reel to latch 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 tting 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
ange.
4 Use Teon tape or pipe sealant on hose tting threads, screw tting into swivel and tighten.
Note: To avoid damage to the swivel, use a wrench to support the swivel tting while tightening the
hose.
5 Attach hose stopper on the other end of hose, near the outlet tting.
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: Adjustment of Spring
Tension.

Operation
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 rst, 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 tting for leakage.
Replace any worn, damaged, or leaking parts.
Adjustment of Spring Tension
1 Pull out approximately 6 ft or 2 m 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 un-wrap hose one time from
drum to decrease tension.
4 Re-insert 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 (TIM-3600-34 only)
1 Turn off and disconnect supply line from swivel inlet.
2 Remove swivel assembly from reel axle.
3 Remove circlip 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 Teon type or thread sealant on swivel thread tting, reconnect the swivel thread tting with axle.
6 Re-connect 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 tting in axle center and remove
old hose.
5 Feed new hose through guide and opening in drum, and connect to swivel. Re-install two hose
clamps, on inside and outside of drum ange. Install stopper on other end of hose in the same
position as before.
6 Carefully release the drum latch, and slowly allow the hose to wind onto the reel.
Note: Final spring adjustment is accomplished by adding or removing wraps of hose around the drum.
(Details see spring tension adjustment).
Spring Canister Warning
If the rewind spring fails for any reason: For safety reasons, the rewind spring is not repairable.

The four nuts attach the rewind spring canister to the reel hub.
WARNING: Exposure of the encapsulated/enclosed rewind spring could result in severe bodily injury. The
canister must remain sealed/complete/intact. Do not remove the nuts on the exterior face of the rewind
spring canister.
8. Remove the complete/intact rewind spring canister and replace the rewind spring canister.
