1. CHECK SPRING TYPE
The spring type is indicated by the rst letter at the
end of the numeric part of the model number on the
metal nameplate (Figure 2). It is also stamped on the
mounting ear of the spring housing on most models.
The maximum number of usable turns for each spring,
and torque generated, is shown below (Figure 1).
2. ATTACH HOSE OR CABLE
Notes: Be sure spring tension is relaxed before starting.
Add a piece of tape to the disc edge where the hose/cable
connection is made.
Hose: Attach hose assembly to the reel outlet. If you have
a 900 series spring reel, the outlet riser can be temporarily
unbolted from the hub to aid in attaching the hose.
Cable: Feed the cable through the drum and hub with the
aid of the pull wire supplied. Then connect the cable to the
color coded slip ring wires. On some models, you will need
to remove the collector cover to expose the collector rings.
Caution: Always use a cable clamp connected to the drum
in order to keep pressure o󰀨 the wire connections.
3.1 WIND HOSE OR CABLE TO REEL
Wind all of the hose or cable onto the reel by rotating the
disc in the direction that does not add tension or torque
to the spring motor. If you feel torque or resistance during
this operation,then stop, you are winding in the wrong
direction (Figure 3). Keep track of the number of turns
required to store the length of hose or cable being
installed. (Using the tape added to the disc.)
Now refer to Figure 1 to nd the total number of available
turns for the reel’s spring motor. Subtract the number of
turns needed to store all of the hose or cable onto the reel
from the total number of available turns. This is your number
of pre-tension turns, and will be used in the next step.

5. MAKE FINAL CONNECTIONS
You are now ready to make your hose or cable
connection to the inlet swivel joint or junction box on the
side of the reel (Figure 6).
3.2 REEL PRE-TENSION
You are adding some tension to the reel with this
step; be careful not to let go of the disc edge until you
have added the proper number of pre-tension turns,
and have secured the reel from unwinding by making
sure the locking pawl latch nds a tooth on the ratchet
wheel to prevent movement. With the hose or cable
end retained on the reel, turn the discs in the unwind
direction (opposite direction of rotation used to install the
hose). On your nal pre-tensioning turn, you will need to
pass the hose or cable through the provided utility roller
assembly.

3.2.a PRE-TENSION REDUCTION
In the previous step, the spring tension has been set
to its maximum level. If you nd the spring tension is
greater than required or desired to retract the hose, you
can decrease the tension by removing one or more of
the tensioning turns you added. Grab hold of the disc
edges and carefully allow the reel to unwind one full
revolution. Then re-lock the reel and once again pass
the hose or cable through the roller assembly (Figure 4)
4. ATTACH BALL STOP TO HOSE OR CABLE
Draw the hose or cable through the rollers to the point
where the ball stop should be attached. Note: After
ball stop is positioned, make sure that when the stop
is resting against the rollers, the locking pawl latch is
disengaged from the ratchet wheel. Now take the two
halves of the ball stop and join them together over the
hose or cable. Fasten ball stop with provided fasteners
(Figure 5).
NOTICE: A exible connector must be
used between the inlet pipe and the inlet
swivel joint on the reel or the warranty
will be void.
CAUTION: Hose or cable end must be
walked back to the reel on all spring reels
when rewinding. If allowed to rewind
unattended, personal injury or damage to
reel could occur.
