Installation
The typical installation shown in FIG. 1 is only a guide
for selecting and installing a hose reel system. The
components shown are the minimum requirements for
all systems. However, it is not an actual system design.
Contact your Graco Distributor for assistance in
designing a system to suit your needs.
NOTE: The air and fluid accessories required for your
pump must be properly sized to the pump. Refer to
your pump manual for selecting pump accessories.
Grounding
Pump: follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
Hose reels: connect to a true earth ground when
dispensing petroleum products. This can be done by
bolting the reel to a grounded structure, or by using a
conductive inlet hose to connect to a grounded piping
system.
Fluid hoses: use only conductive hoses when
dispensing petroleum products.
Dispense valves: use thread sealant when connecting
the meter to the hose. Do not use PTFE tape on the
pipe joints, as it may cause loss of ground across the
pipe joint.
Waste container while flushing: use a grounded metal
container. Hold the hose coupling or metal part of the
meter firmly to the side of the waste container while
flushing.
Required Components
Be sure to have the following components before
beginning installation.
• Hose Inlet kits (L)
• Reel mounting bases, mounting brackets, and
mounting channels (P)
• Dispense valves (N)
A ground wire (G), bleed-type master air valve (E),
and fluid drain valve (H) are required in your system
installation. These components help reduce the risk
of serious injury, including fire and explosion,
injection, and splashing in your eyes or on the skin.
• The ground wire must be connected to the pump
grounding lug and to a true earth ground
according to your local codes.
• The bleed-type master air valve relieves air
trapped between this valve and the pump after
the air is shut off. Trapped air can cause the
pump to cycle unexpectedly. Locate the valve
close to the pump.
• The fluid drain valve assists in relieving fluid
pressure in the pump, hose, and dispense valve.
Triggering the valve to relieve pressure may not
be sufficient to relieve pressure when the Fluid
Shutoff Valve (J) is closed.
The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk
of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes
to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape
wire for the electric current.

Installation
3A8626B 9
Pressure Relief Procedure
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever
you see this symbol.
1. Turn off the power supply to the pump or close the
upstream ball valve.
2. Trigger the dispense valve into a waste container to
relieve pressure.
3. Open any bleed-type master air valves and fluid
drain valves in the system.
4. Leave the drain valve open until ready to pressurize
the system.
NOTE: If you suspect that the dispense valve or
extension is clogged, or that the pressure has not been
fully relieved after following the above steps, very
slowly loosen the coupler or hose end coupling to
relieve the pressure gradually, then loosen completely.
After doing this, the obstruction can be cleared.
Flush the Equipment
Before installation of the dispense valve to the end of
the hose, flush the line with the fluid being dispensed.
1. Place the end of the hose into a grounded metal
waste container. Hold the hose firmly against the
waste container throughout the flushing process
(FIG. 2).
This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is
manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from
pressurized fluid, such as skin injection, splashing
fluid and moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure when you stop dispensing and before
cleaning, checking, or servicing the equipment.
To avoid fire and explosion, always ground
equipment and waste container. To avoid static
sparking and injury from splashing, always flush at
the lowest possible pressure.

2. Blow out the entire lubricant supply line with air
(FIG. 3).
3. Flush the fluid being dispensed through the
equipment until the fluid runs clear (FIG. 4).

Hose Installation
Installation of Hose on a Bare Reel
1. Locate the length of the hose in the table and note
the number of revolutions the spool must be turned
to properly pre-set the spring tension.
2. Secure the reel to a solid surface with C-clamps (C)
(FIG. 9)
3. Place a piece of tape on the side of the reel flange
as a visual reference to count the number of
revolutions.

SPRING TENSION HAZARD
The hose reel spring is always under great tension,
which if released in an uncontrolled manner could
cause serious injury.
• Never allow the reel to spin freely. Uncontrolled
spinning could cause serious injury if hit by the
hose.
• Securely fasten the reel in place while making
adjustments.
• The hose reel spring is not a serviceable part. Do
not attempt to replace or service the hose reel
spring.
• Always wear heavy gloves while adjusting the
spring tension to protect your hands from being
cut on the hose reel.

4. While wearing heavy gloves, firmly grasp the
outside edge of the reel flange with both hands.
Wind the spool the correct number of turns (see
reference table from Step 1), rotating the reel in the
direction shown in FIG. 15.
• Stop only at latching locations.
• Stop the reel where there is access to the hose
swivel (A) (FIG. 16), and where the reel is securely
latched.
5. Before installation of the hose, attach a C-clamp (D,
FIG. 15) to the reel flange to prevent the reel from
unintentionally becoming unlatched and spinning
freely.
6. Uncoil and extend the hose.
7. Install the hose stop (C) (FIG. 16) to the end of the
hose. If the hose has a warning tag (F), the hose
stop should be installed on the same end of the
hose as the warning tag.
NOTE: If the hose is equipped with a spring guard, this
end must be on the same end as the hose stop.
8. Run the end of the hose (B) through the hose guide
(G) and then to the hole (E) in the reel (FIG. 16).
9. Attach the hose end (B) to the hose reel swivel (A).
10. Carefully remove the C-clamp (D) (FIG. 15),
11. Pull on the hose hard enough to release the latch,
and slowly allow the hose to retract.
12. Re-position the hose stop so the hose extends far
enough for all operators to reach the dispense
valve.
13. Flush the hose following the Flush the Equipment
instructions, page 9.

Adjust Spring Tension
Single Pedestal SDX Model Hose Reels
Increase Spring Tension
1. Pull the hose out one to two turns, then engage the
latch.
2. Pull the hose back through the hose guides.
3. Wrap a loop of hose onto the reel flange.
4. Check the spring tension. The hose must pull out
fully and retract fully. Wrap more loops, one at a
time around the reel flange, until the spring has the
desired tension.
NOTE: Do not put so many loops onto the reel so that
the spring winds up tightly before the hose is fully
extended.
Decrease Spring Tension
To decrease the spring tension, remove loops around
the reel flange until tension is at the desired level.
Dual Pedestal XDX or XNX Model Hose
Reels
If the hose is not retracting sufficiently, or is wound too
tight, the tension can be increased or decreased using
one of the following procedures:
Increase Spring Tension
(Spring is too loose, hose does not retract
completely, or retraction is sluggish.)
NOTE: The reference letters in the following instructions
refer to FIG. 17.
1. Loosen screw (A) three to five turns. Do not
completely remove the screw.
2. Use a hex wrench to loosen the two screws (B). Do
not completely remove the screws.
3. Insert a 3/8 in. square drive breaker bar into
opening (C) on the spring adjustment plate (D).
4. While holding the breaker bar securely, completely
remove the two screws (B).
5. While firmly grasping the breaker bar with both
hands, turn the spring adjustment plate clockwise
one turn at a time to increase (tighten) the spring
tension.
6. Replace and finger-tighten both screws (B).
7. Remove the breaker bar.
8. Pull out a section of hose and allow it to retract to
test the tension adjustment.
SPRING TENSION HAZARD
The hose reel spring is always under great tension,
which if released in an uncontrolled manner could
cause serious injury.
• Never allow the reel to spin freely. Uncontrolled
spinning could cause serious injury if hit by the
hose.
• Always grasp the adjusting tool firmly with both
hands when adjusting tension. Spring tension
can cause the tool to move violently.
• Securely fasten the reel in place while making
adjustments.
• The hose reel spring is not a serviceable part. Do
not attempt to replace or service the hose reel
spring.
• Always wear heavy gloves while adjusting the
spring tension to protect your hands from being
cut on the hose reel.
