IMPORTANT!
Maximum Operating Pressure
CAR8P .......................... 12 bar / 180 psi
CAR15P ........................ 20 bar / 300 psi

OPERATION
Check Reel for correct operation, as follows:
Gently pull out the hose - a series of clicks will be heard, every half revolution of
the drum.
When a click is heard, release the hose. It should be held by the latch. Continue
to pull out the hose, and after a series of clicks, at various lengths, release it to
check the operation of the latch.
To retract the hose, give it a brief tug to disengage the latch, then allow it to retract
fully, under control, until the stopper rests on the hose guide. DO NOT allow the hose
to retract freely....it must be restrained in order to prevent the air tool, connected to
the end of the hose, from whipping with resultant damage to persons or property.
Model CAR15P is also provided with
a locking device which allows the hose
to be held in any desired position.
Simply slide the latch to the locked
position when required.
To release, give the hose a brief tug,
whilst sliding the latch to the unlock
position, then allow the hose to retract
under restraint.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Never exceed the rated operating pressure for this device.
• Eye protection should be used when assembling and using the hose reel.
• Take ALL precautions with respect to the use of compressed air.
Remember....compressed air can kill.
• Ensure all air connections are properly sealed using teflon tape or pipe sealant.
• Never allow the hose to retract freely, It should always be restrained to prevent
the air tool from whipping, with resultant damage to persons or property.
• Keep children away from the work site.
INSTALLATION
The Hose Reel assembly may be wall or ceiling mounted. Ensure the mounting
hardware (not supplied) is of sufficient strength to support the Hose Reel assembly
