ASSEMBLY
WARNING
Check the hose for wear before each use and ensure all the connections
are secure.
WARNING
DO NOT direct air from the air hose at yourself or others.
1. Remove the hose reel and accessories from the box.
2. Chose a suitable place close to water or air.
WARNING
Ensure that the structure to which the air hose is to be mounted is of
sound construction and that the mounting point will hold the working
strain of the hose when in use.
3. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the position for the
screws and drill 4 holes.
4. Attach the bracket to the wall using the 4 self-tapping screws.
5. Attach the hose reel to the mounting bracket.
NOTE: It is important the hose reel is installed horizontally and
approximately 3 feet from the ground
6. Connect the leader hose to the air source.
7. Pull the hose out slowly to the length required, release the tension and
the hose should lock into position, if it starts to retract then pull the
hose out slightly further to engage the locking mechanism of the reel.
NOTE: DO NOT over extend the hose as this will cause the mechanism to
malfunction, preventing the hose from retracting.
8. To release the hose and allow it to automatically rewind, pull the hose
out from the locked position and then release the tension on the hose.
WARNING
DO NOT dismantle the hose reel casing. To do so may result in damage
to the appliance and/or personal injury and will invalidate the warranty.
Internal maintenance, which will require the opening of the casing, must
only be undertaken by an authorized service center.
