3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: ....................... Colorless, odorless liquid. Toxic fumes released in fire situations.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: ................. (See Section 11 for toxicological data.)
EYE: ...................................................................... May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Mists may
cause eye irritation.
SKIN: .................................................................... Prolonged contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. A single prolonged skin exposure is not
likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. Repeated
exposures may cause flaking and softening of skin. May be absorbed in potentially harmful
amounts when applied in large quantities to severe burns (second or third degree) over large
areas of the body as part of a cream or other topical application. Absorption under such
circumstances can elevate serum osmolality and may result in osmotic shock.
INGESTION: ........................................................ Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be extremely low. No hazards anticipated from
swallowing small amounts incidental to normal handling operations.
INHALATION:.................................................... At room temperature, vapors are minimal due physical properties. Mists may cause irritation
of upper respiratory tract.
SYSTEMATIC: .................................................... (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: Repeated excessive ingestion may cause central
nervous system effects.
CANCER INFORMATION: ............................... Did not cause cancer in long-term animal studies.
TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): .............. Birth defects are unlikely. Exposures having no adverse effects on the mother should have
no effect on the fetus.
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: ............................ In animal studies, has been shown not to interfere with reproduction.
4. FIRST AID
EYE: ...................................................................... Flush eyes with plenty of water.
SKIN: .................................................................... Wash off in flowing water or shower.
INGESTION: ........................................................ No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure incidental to proper industrial
handling.
INHALATION:.................................................... Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a physician

Introduction 3-1
Introduction
Operating Features
Danger! It is very important that you read and understand this manual
before operating the reel! Failure to follow the procedures and cautions in
this manual could lead to injury or possible death!
The DRYAIR hose reel’s primary purpose is dispense and collect fluid
circulation hose on job sites…primarily with respect to ground thaw and/
or concrete cure operations.
The hose reel includes the following controls
• Spool directional and power controls
•Spool rotational speed (RPM)
• Two methods of spool rotation activation… both are “hands-off”.
-Momentary foot switch – a default setting when in the “load”
position.
-Auto-feed switch – a default setting when in the “unload”
position.
•The drive is always engaged and braking controls are automatic.
Therefore, there are no brakes to engage or disengage
Drive Features & Power
Requirements
•The reel can be run off a 115VAC, 15 amp circuit.
•Reel RPM and directional control is handled through a variable speed/soft-start AC motor control adjustable frequency drive. The vari
able frequency drive is a phase converter...1 to 3 phase.
•The reel motor is a 1 HP 3-phase continuous duty electric motor.
•Drive and motor protection against inertial forces is provided by an adjustable torque-limiter clutch located between the motor/gear box
and the reel spool. The torque limiter clutch provides quick braking action (less than half a revolution with a loaded reel at full rpm [20
RPM]) and a smooth interface between the spool’s high inertial forces and unit’s drive components.
Reel Capacities
•The Model HR 6000 Hose Reel is designed to carry up to 6000 feet of 3/4" hose (3/4" I.D. x 1.125"O.D.). 6000 or 3000 hose packages
are available.
Transportation & Storage
•The reel can be transported by common carrier. The reel can be loaded using a forklift (accessible from all 4 sides). Slings can also be
used.
•A transport trailer, specifically designed for the reel, is also available.
•As the reel is remote and not connected to the heating system, it can be stored out of the way or off the site when it is not needed.
•A tarp cover is provided to ensure weather and UV protection for the fluid circulation hose.

Setup/Operation 4-1
Setup/Operation
Danger! It is very important that you read and understand this section before operating the hose reel! Failure to follow the procedures and
cautions in this manual could lead to injury or possible death!
The DRYAIR hose reel has two methods (modes) of activation. There are also several controls that are factory set, and normally do not require
adjustment.
Manual Controls
The Hose Reel has an automated “UNLOAD/LOAD” actuated controller, a manual method of
controlling the spool rotational speed (RPM) and a general ON/OFF switch.
Spool Direction Controller
The toggle switch (1-1) controls the main power to the hose reel. The hose reel controller
defaults to the “Mode 1 - UNLOAD” upon powering up and engaging the “auto-feed
control”. By connecting the foot switch, the controller switches to the “Mode 2 -LOAD” and
loads hose by depressing the foot switch which is momentary (will only operate when
depressed).
Mode 1 - UNLOAD
Mode 2 - LOAD
Mode 1 - “UNLOAD”
•When the switch is toggled to the “ON” position, reel activation will automatically default to the “auto-feed control”
•To use the “auto-feed control”, pull the roller forward to activate the reel and feed out enough hose that the hose can be passed under the
roller.
•Reel activation will now be automatic and the reel will “unload” the hose. When the hose is pulled in a direction away from the reel, the
hose will ride on the roller and cause the auto-feed arm to lift. When the auto-feed arm lifts, an attached plunger disengages from a limit
switch (internal) which, in turn, activates the reel.
Caution! When NOT operating the reel, put the toggle switch in the “Off” position to prevent accidental activation and possible injury.
When the hose reel is to be left unsupervised, the power cord should be unplugged from the power supply.
Mode 2 - “LOAD”
•When the switch is toggled to “ON” position and the foot switch connected to the hose reel, the reel will “load” the hose.
•The foot switch is momentary and will only operate when it is depressed.
•In the “LOAD” mode, the hose path should pass above the auto-feed mechanism roller.
•The hose must be directed manually into position on the hose reel.
Caution! Take care not to allow your hands, feet or clothing to become trapped by any of the reel’s moving mechanisms.
Spool Rotational Speed
•The adjustment knob (2-1) controls the reel R.P.M. Turning clockwise towards the “+” sign
to increase the RPM of the reel. Turn counter-clockwise towards the “-”sign to decrease the
R.P.M.
•Range - 0 – 20 R.P.M.
•RPM adjustment is required to ensure the operator maintain good control of the hose reel
operation.
•In Mode 1 - “UNLOAD” - Set the reel RPM to a rate that prevents the auto-feed
mechanism from galloping. The reel RPM should be set at a rate that allows the operator to
maintain tension on the hose and, therefore, keep the auto-feed mechanism arm in a lifted
position.
•In Mode 2 - “LOAD”- Set the reel RPM to a rate that allows the operator to maintain good
control of the loading process.

voltage.
General information
Operating features of the Altivar 11-AC Drive includes:
•Ability to catch a spinning load after a supply break or on a start command for smooth take-up of a rotating machine.
•Dynamic braking possible, even for high inertia and unbalanced load applications.
•Optimal management of the motor due to flux vector control: 150% of the nominal current of the drive during 60 seconds with a 1:20
speed ratio.
Setup-Operation
The drive controller is factory set to the parameters required for optimal performance and minimal down time. The Altivar 11 drive factory
default settings are embedded in the drive controllers main board (EPROM). No power or activity for prolonged periods of time will not
affect the set parameters and therefore reprogramming the controller is not required.

Torque Limiter Clutch (7-1)
•The Torque limiter protects the drive line from damage due to overload
conditions. The driven center member slips on non-asbestos friction discs
during overload situations in the drive line.
•Torque Ratings
GLI Model 350 w/ two springs
- minimum: 60 lb.-ft.
- maximum: 190 lb.-ft.
Please note that the torque ratings are estimates. Actual torque capacity may
vary significantly depending on many factors. Field conditions such as oil,
humidity, water and temperature as well as the frequency and duration of
slippage all affect torque capacity.
•Although the torque limiter clutch is factory
(Dryair) set, periodic adjustment may be
required. It is recommended the torque setting
of the clutch be checked twice per season (see
“Maintenance” section). With prolonged use,
the two friction disks, located on either side of
the A-plate sprocket, will eventually show
wear.
•It is important that the torque limiter clutch is
adjusted properly. If the clutch slips too easily,
the spool will take too long to stop and hose
will pile up on the reel. If the clutch does not
slip at all, the protection on the Altivar drive
will take over and the spool will again take too
long to stop.
Note: A visual check may be required to
confirm whether it is the clutch that is
slipping or whether it is the Altivar drive that is
automatically adjusting in an overload situation.

Auto Resets
The drive controller is factory set and will reload its factory default settings each time the AC line is connected. It will also automatically
start when recovering from a series of different faults.
Manual Resets
If a fault occurs due to a prolonged overload, overvoltage, undervoltage or phase failure, the control must be manually restarted. The control
can be restarted by:
1) Disconnect AC power and wait for at least 30 seconds for drive controller to power down.
2) Reconnect the AC power. This will re-initiate the factory default settings.

Maintenance 5-2
Auto-feed Control
•The auto-feed control is factory set and may require some minor adjustment.
•If the setting has changed or the control is not activating properly, the plunger setting needs
to be checked. An example of a situation requiring a check of the plunger setting would be
when the toggle switch is placed in the “ON” position (with the foot switch disconnected)
and the reel engages without the auto-feed control mechanism being lifted.
Note: Before servicing the “Auto-feed control”, disconnect all power and lock the disconnect in the
open position.
•Access to the internal auto-feed components is through the access door (2-1). This door
must be removed.
•First, visually check that the auto-feed control switch (3-2) is still properly positioned
and has not come loose.
•Then, with the “auto-feed control” in rest position, check that the plunger (3-1) stop
plate is in contact and closing out the switch.
•Normal operation - when the switch is in the depressed position, power is “off”. When
the switch is in the extended position, power is “on”.
•The plunger stop plate must make enough contact with the switch arm that the switch
is in the “off” position.
•Adjustment that causes the plunger stop plate to move past the ideal “stop” position,
and apply force to the switch will eventually lead to component damage.
Electric Motor
•The electric motor used to drive the reel is a Marathon.
•No regular maintenance is required.
•Make sure that the motor is not in prolonged contact with moisture during operation or storage.
Note: This motor has no built-in thermal protection. Thermal protection is provided by the “ALTIVAR 11 Drive Controller”.

Oil, housing, and other components can reach high temperatures during operation, and can cause severe burns. Use extreme care when
removing lubrication plugs and vents while servicing the unit.
•Do not operate the unit without making sure it contains the correct amount of oil. Do not overfill or underfill with oil, or injury to
personnel, unit, or other equipment may result.
•For proper operation in subzero conditions, it is mandatory that the following oil be used:
“Spartan EP 320 industrial gear oil”
…any other gear oil will void warranty!
Oil Filling Procedure
•Remove Fill and Breather Plug.
•Clean threads on the removed plugs and the plug holes with degreaser.
•Fill gear box with the recommended lubricant (see above) to a level near the center line of the uppermost horizontal shaft or until
lubricant comes out of the oil level plug hole.
•Install plugs secure in gear case.
Break-In Period
After the first 100 hours of operation, drain out initial oil, flush out the gear case with an approved non-flammable, non-toxic solvent, such
as Whitmore’s Flushing Oil (#06802030) or Medallion Flushing Oil Kosher (#06812010), and refill. Therefore, oil should be changed at
least every 2500 operating hours or every 6 months - whichever occurs first.
Note: Oil should be changed with greater frequency if unit is used in severe environments (dust or high humidity).
Maintenance & Operation

Maintenance 5-3
Torque Limiter Adjustment
•Although the torque limiter clutch is factory (Dryair) set, periodic adjustment may be required. It is recommended tha torque setting of
the clutch be checked twice a season. With prolonged use, the two friction disks, located on either side of the A-plate sprocket, will
eventually show wear.
•It is important that the torque limiter clutch is adjusted properly. If the clutch slips too easily, the spool will take too long to stop and
hose will pile up on the reel. If the clutch does not slip at all, the protection on the Altivar 11 drive will take over and the spool will
again take too long to stop.
Note: A visual check may be required to confirm whether it is the clutch that is slipping or whether it is the Altivar 11 drive that is auto
matically adjusting in an overload situation.
•Check that the clutch is adjusted properly with the following procedure:
Physical check
•With no power being applied to the reel, grip the edge of the spool plate and
apply full upward force, making sure that you are lifting with your legs and
not your back.
•You should be able to cause the clutch to just slip with full lifting force.
•If the clutch does not slip or slips too easily, refer to the “torque adjust
procedure”, below.
Torque adjust procedure
•Insure that the adjusting nut is in a finger tight position.
•If the adjustment nut is tighter than finger tight, loosen and complete
previous step.
•Match mark the adjusting nut with the hub. Using a torque wrench tighten
the adjusting nut to 50ft*lb.
After the break-away torque is set, bend the tabs of the lock washer over the
hex flats of the adjusting nut.
Note: The torque limiter clutch nut requires
a reasonable amount of force to adjust. Use
a torque wrench that provides you with at
least 18” of leverage.
Run-in procedure
•If the torque limiter has been taken apart
and reassembled or friction disks have been
changed, it is recommended that the clutch
be “run in” by “slipping” the center
member (sprocket).
•Insure that the adjusting nut is in a finger
tight position.
•Match mark the adjusting nut and hub.
Advance the adjusting nut ¼ turn from
finger tight.
•Slip the torque limiter sprocket for 8
minutes at full RPM.
•Refer back to the “Torque adjust proce-
dure” for final readjustment.
