Lifting and Setting Reel - Caution - The Excela-Wynd hose reel weighs approximately 300 pounds. Use a suitable mechanical fork truck,
hoist or crane to lift, move and set reel. Use a spreader bar and straps with a minimum working load of 500 lbs connected to the lift
points on the axle and inlet shown below to lift the reel and set it on the deck.
Note: The reel will rotate in the direction shown when lifted. Setting the reel on the deck will bring it back to level or it can be held
level manually as it is set.Do not lift by attaching to optional reel cover.
Mounting to Deck -WARNING - DO NOT use an impact driver to tighten mounting bolts. Use (4) SS carriage bolts, (4) SS backing
plates, (4) SS flat washers and (4) SS locknuts from the HARDWARE KIT and (2) Dielectric Mounts from the ACCESSORIES BOX.Install
reel as shown below with dielectric mounts between reel frame and deck and with backing plates below the deck.Install SS carriage
bolts through reel frame rail, dielectric mount, deck and backing plate. Apply anti-seize to threads of carriage bolts, install SS flat
washers and tighten SS locknuts securely.
Note: The off-center holes in the backing plate allow it to be installed when there is an obstruction that interferes with using the
center hole.

VSC9000 SPEED CONTROLLER
Enclosure - Install the BASE Engineering controller enclosure according to the instructions provided with it in a location accessible for
service.
Power - Connect battery (+) and ground (-) according to the instructions and diagrams provided by BASE Engineering.
Motor - Connect motor leads to controller according to the instructions and diagrams provided by BASE Engineering.
Note - The motor lead corresponding to (+) for REEL IN is marked with red and the correct direction of rotation is shown below. If the
motor leads are inadvertently switched and the motor rotates in the wrong direction, sliding DIP switch 8 to “ON” will reverse the
polarity and direction of rotation eliminating the need to physically reverse the connections. See the Controller Configuration
Diagram in the Appendix or the decal inside the controller enclosure for details.
Sensor - Use the MEP801PC/30 extension cable from the ACCESSORIES BOX to connect the sensor to the VSC9000 controller terminal
block according to the instructions and diagrams provided by BASE Engineering, the Controller Configuration Diagram in the Appendix
or the decal inside the controller enclosure.
Note - Sliding DIP switch 6 to “ON” will override the sensor and closed loop speed control. This is useful when running the reel before
sensor connections are made or for diagnostics. With Sensor Override on, Reel-In operation will rotate the reel at the speed at which
the controller potentiometer is set. DIP switch “6” must be moved to “OFF” to return to normal operation. See the Controller
Configuration Diagram in the Appendix or the decal inside the controller enclosure for details.
Test Mode -Sliding DIP switch 7 to “ON” enables the sensor test mode. In test mode, the green LED on the controller turns on when
the sensor detects rotation. It is useful for confirming that the sensor and wiring are functioning as intended. DIP switch “7” must be
moved to “OFF” to return to normal operation. See the Controller Configuration Diagram in the Appendix or the decal inside the
controller enclosure for details.

CONFIGURING THE VSC9000 CONTROLLER
Hose Length - Note -Use only Ø1” ID hose on the Excela-Wynd model VSC9000 Excela-Wynd hose reel. Since the hose length and size
determine the number of wraps of hose on each layer, the controller must be set to match the installed hose length to assure proper
automatic speed changes and maintain the selected hose speed. The controller is factory set for a 150’ long Ø1” ID hose, so no
change is required when installing a 150’ long Ø1” ID hose. To set the hose length, slide the DIP switch corresponding to the length
below to ON. See the Controller Configuration Diagram in the Appendix or the decal inside the controller enclosure for details.
Hose Speed - Hose reel-in speed can be set to one of eight linear hose speeds ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 MPH. Company policy, seasonal
conditions or driver preference may dictate the required speed. The controller is factory set to a 2.9 MPH hose speed. To set the
hose speed, turn the potentiometer on the controller so the arrow points to the desired setting, below.See the Controller
Configuration Diagram in the Appendix or the decal inside the controller enclosure for details.
INSTALLING HOSE
Removing Cover, if installed - Pull both detent pins or remove locking screws, push the cover as shown to compress the spring loaded
plungers, move fixed posts away from mounting holes and lift cover off reel.
Replacing Cover - Insert plunger tips in holes in frame and level wind bracket, push cover to compress plungers, insert rear fixed post in
hole in frame and front fixed post in level wind bracket and replace both detent pins or locking screws.
Note -The cover (sold separately) ships from factory with both detent pins and locking screws installed.

TIPS for Operating the EXCELA-WYND™Hose Reel
•Your service provider can adjust rewind speed between 1.5 and 3.5 MPH to match driver or seasonal needs.
•Avoid twisting the hose excessively to prevent binding on the reel and assure reliable automatic loading.
•If you have a loss of truck battery power to the reel controller while the hose is pulled out, such as when using the
emergency shut down, when the power is restored the hose reel speed controller may temporarily rewind at a different
speed. Once the hose is fully rewound on the reel, turning the truck ignition off and back on will reset rewind speed.
To raise the cover -
Pull the front detent
pin, push the front of
the cover to the left to
release it, and rotate
it upward. Latch and
pin cover when done.
To remove the cover -
Pull both detent pins,
push the cover to the
left to release it, and
lift it upward. Latch
and pin cover when
done.
To use the manual crank - (Remove crank from
storage pouch and remove red safety cap)
1) Insert the safety collar into the axle.
2) Push in and turn to engage drive pin.
When the hose is loaded, remove crank, replace
safety cap and place in storage pouch.
Note: Turning the truck ignition off releases the
reel brake making it easier to turn.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS
•The reel brake doesn’t release when pressing REEL OUT
•
The reel won’t turn at all when pressing REEL IN
•
The reel brake engages during REEL OUT or the reel stops
rewinding during REEL IN once you’re a distance from the truck
•The batteries in the remote may be too low to transmit or may
transmit only a short distance - Recharge or replace batteries.
•
The truck ignition may be off, removing power from the
controller - Make sure the ignition is on and the brake is set.
•
The ciruit breaker on the BASE Engineering controller enclosure
may have tripped - Check circuit breaker and reset, if tripped.
•The reel stops turning while pressing
REEL IN
(Rewind)
•An extremely high motor load may have triggered the over-
current protection - It will automatically reset after (5) seconds.
•
The hose may be stuck on an obstruction - Check for and clear
any obstructions.
•
The hose may have bound in the reel due to excessive twisting -
If the hose is bound or not evenly layered on the reel, pull out
any hose that is bound, remove excessive twist and rewind hose.
