SAFETY
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.
•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
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.
SPECIFICATIONS & LISTINGS
•The identified Series of Hose Reel products within this manual are
not certified or listed by any independent certifying or regulatory body.
•This series of hose reels is intended for industrial use and are
provided with permanent mounting means.
PRESSURE & TEMPERATURE RATING
•All reels covered in this manual with or without hose have specific
P.S.I. ratings. (Please refer to the COXREELS catalog, website or
contact Customer Service for Reel specific data). Reels should not
be used at pressures greater that the rating of the hose.
•Multipurpose hose is installed with tube compounded for maximum oil
resistance. Hose can be used for air, water, oil and many other
chemical applications.
•Operational temperature ranges vary across the wide range of hose
options. (Please refer to the COXREELS catalog, website or contact
Customer Service for hose specific data). Hose reels should not be
used at temperatures below or above the rating of the hose.
•The operational rating of a reel not equipped with hose is determined
by the capacity of the installed hose. The pressure rating of the reel
without hose must not be greater than the than the operational
capacity of a reel. (Please refer to the COXREELS catalog, website
or contact Customer Service for reel/hose specific data). Variations
in the OD of higher rated hose will affect the operational capacity of
the reel.
LABELS & MARKINGS
Hose Reels with and without hose
•The marking of the hose reel provide 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 or amperage rating on cable reel.
•Thoroughly review the “Hose Installation” instructions to properly
install hose.
•Perform “Operational Check” per instructions to ensure reel is
operating properly.
•If a leak should occur after applying pressure to the reel, immediately
discontinue supply line pressure.
WARNING: Prevent static sparking. When working around flammables, ensure
that the hose reel, hose, and equipment are properly grounded.
INSTALLATION
MOUNT REEL / FASTEN CRANK HANDLE
•To mount reel to a solid structure use 7/16” or M12 bolts, washers,
and nuts. Masonry bolts may be used depending on mounting
application. Mounting hardware is NOT provided. Mounting patterns
will vary depending on model. NOTE: If you choose to permanently
mount series CM, you will need four ¼” screws or nails.
•Fit mounting hardware to ceiling/wall/floor so reel can be fastened
into position. Fit reel and tighten all hardware securely.
•Reels are supplied with plastic crank handle uninstalled. Remove
handle and hardware from plastic bag and install onto crank arm.
Models 1275 and 600-900 will include detachable crank for bevel
gear design.
•The series DM portable reels will include a U-shaped handle. Position
handle over swaged posts and fasten using hardware provided.
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.
•Connect end to supply source.

INSTALLATION OF OUTLET HOSE
NOTE: Before proceeding, ensure that you are installing the proper
size, length and type of hose that the reel is rated for. Consult factory if
unsure of rating.
•Securely install hose reel prior to installing outlet hose.
•Apply thread sealant to male hose fitting and insert into the drum
opening. Note: It is recommended that a swivel type connector be
used to ease installation of outlet hose.
•Thread male hose fitting into outlet riser(s) (Refer to FIGURE 1.0).
Challenger series 100W
•Using a wrench, firmly hold on to riser fitting while tightening hose
connector.
NOTE: The hose clamp restrains the hose when fully extended,
preventing strain on the fitting.
CAUTION: FULLY EXTEND AND CHARGE HOSE BEFORE
INITIALLY WINDING ON TO REEL. THIS PREVENTS FLATTENING
OF HOSE AND EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON DRUM WHEN HOSE IS
FULLY CHARGED DURING OPERATION.
•Wind hose on to reel. Hold onto crank handle and turn. The operator
should hand guide the hose on to reel to achieve maximum capacity.
•Flush fluid through system. Inspect hose, connections, and swivel for
leaks.
INSTALLATION OF CABLE (1125WC SERIES)
NOTE: Before proceeding, ensure that you are installing the proper size,
length and type of cable that the reel is rated for. Refer to label to
determine amperage rating.
CAUTION: ENSURE THAT THE CABLE CONNECTOR IS SECURELY
CRIMPED, SOLDERED, OR CLAMPED TO CABLE.
•Place connector over stud (FIGURE 2.0) and install brass nut
(supplied).
•Using a wrench, firmly hold onto the nut under the connector while
tightening the outer nut.
•Connect the supply line in the same manner.
FIGURE 1.0 FIGURE 2.0
CAUTION: ENSURE THAT ALL OPERATION CHECKS HAVE BEEN
COMPLETED BEFORE RELEASING FOR USE.
OPERATIONAL CHECK
•Check for correct operation by pulling out some of the hose/cable. A
slight friction or drag should be noticed. This drag is to prevent
backlash when pulling out hose/cable.
•Adjust drag brake. Turn clockwise to add tension and counter-
clockwise to decrease tension. See figures 3.0-6.0.
SWIVEL SEAL REPLACEMENT
•Remove inlet hose from swivel.
•Remove swivel from reel by unscrewing swivel from reel axle.
Disconnect hose from swivel.
•Remove retaining ring on swivel; pull out spool from body.
•Replace the seals, Apply O-ring lubricant and reassemble swivel.
•Fit hose to swivel then fit swivel to reel.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
•Reconnect inlet hose and test for leakage.
NOTE: Swivels designs vary depending on the reel model. Refer to repair
procedure shipped with individual seal replacement kits or consult factory.
CAUTION: Release line pressure prior to making repairs or adjustments to reel.
SLIP RING BRUSH REPLACEMENT (1125WC SERIES)
•Remove cable completely from drum of reel.
•Remove access panel on drum by removing four screws.
•Remove brush retaining nut to access worn brushes.
•Replace with new copper brushes.
•Reverse above procedure to re-assemble reel.
