PRESSURE WARNINGS
•This equipment should be properly installed before use in
accordance with local codes and ordinances.
•The pressure from the hose reel should be disconnected from the
hose reel before any service functions are performed.
•This hose reel must not be used for pressure greater that the rating
listed in the COXREELS catalog / website www.coxreels.com.
OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
•Exercise care when handling the hose reel during normal operation.
Some hose reels have a rotating drum powered by a spring under
tension.
•Do not use hose different from that for which the reel is intended.
Changes in diameter, weight per foot, length of hose or flexibility
(Minimum Bend Radius) will affect the operation of the reel.
•Mounting hardware and fasteners should be installed to maintain
tightness under vibration and checked periodically to ensure
tightness.
•Overhead installation mountings should be such that the reel is not
solely supported by bolts in tension. A safety chain, cable, enclosure
or netting is strongly recommended to minimize damage and/or
possible injury in the event of a mounting failure.
MAINTENANCE WARNINGS
•Modification of the equipment may cause excessive wear and will
void the warranty. Contact COXREELS regarding changes or
modifications of equipment which could affect reliability or safety.

•The marking of the hose reel provided with or without hose includes
the following
oThe label on the frame includes the COXREELS name
and Logo, the product catalog number, the individual
product serial number, PSI rating and what type and
length of hose intended for use on the reel.
oThe maximum pressure rating for every hose reel
supplied without house is marked on the COXREELS
Identification Label. In absence of this information, refer
to website, catalog, or customer service. Actual rating is
determined by the installed hose and is not to exceed the
indicated maximum operational rating. The pressure
rating of the hose installed on reels provided without
hose must be marked on the label upon installation.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•Ensure reel has been properly installed before connecting supply
line.
•Before connecting to reel, be certain supply line does not exceed
rated pressure of the hose reel.

INSTALLATION OF INLET HOSE
•Apply thread sealant to inlet hose and connect to the swivel joint on
reel.
CAUTION: IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE A “FLEXIBLE” INLET
HOSE. DO NOT USE SOLID PIPING OR RESTRAIN INLET HOSE
AS TO CAUSE ANY SIDE FORCE ON SWIVEL JOINT. THE
WARRANTY IS VOID IF NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED.
•Flush some product through the system before connecting inlet hose
to the source.
•If reel includes hose (Otherwise, See Installation of Hose), flush
some product through system before connecting end fitting, nozzle,
or tool.
•(Reel supplied less hose) Apply thread sealant to outlet hose fitting.
Connect end, nozzle, or tool as desired.
•If a hose stopper adjustment is required to allow easy reach of end
fitting or tool; latch reel at approximate desired location, loosen (two)
ball stop bolts. Move ball stop and tighten bolts. Unlatch reel.
•Connect Inlet hose to supply source.
INSTALLATION OF OUTLET HOSE
NOTE: Before proceeding, ensure that you are installing the proper size, length
and type of hose per the reel rating. Consult factory if unsure of rating. Damage
may occur if wrong hose is installed.
•Securely stabilize the reel.
•Wind the reel drum counter-clockwise (facing the swivel) until the
spring is tight.
Use Extreme Caution!
•Back off approximately two turns and lock the reel drum to keep from
rotating.
•Insert the MALE fitted end of the hose through the roller guide and
up to the outlet riser. See Fig. 4.0
•Apply thread sealant; connect hose fitting to the outlet riser.
•CAREFULLY release the locking ratchet and SLOWLY allow the
hose to retract onto the reel.
NOTE: See “Spring Tension Adjustment” procedure for proper tensioning of
reel.
CAUTION: Fully extend and charge hose before winding on to reel. Briefly open
control valve to purge hose of gases. When fluid appears at control valve, close
valve. This prevents flattening of the hose and excessive pressure on the drum
when fluid supply is reinitialized at a later time.
