• Do not use the air hose reel for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.
• Do not operate the air hose reel when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating
medication.
• When not in use ensure the air supply is turned off and tools disconnected. Disconnect from the air supply and

USER MANUAL
15M - 1/2" Industrial Auto Retracting Air Hose Reel
JEFHOSRLH15-1/2
Mounting the Reel
The reel base is supplied with four 12.7mm (1/2’’) drilled mounting holes for mounting on a suitable flat surface.
Using the four holes in the base, mount the reel in the desired location. Be sure to use appropriate hardware and
tighten securely.
The reel is also supplied with a hose guide roller bracket. The bracket position may be changed depending on the reel
mounting position.
You can follow the following procedure to change the bracket position:
1. Pull out some hose and let reel latch
2. Remove the bolls that attach the guide roller bracket to the support post
3. Rotate guide roller bracket to position, replace bolts, and tighten
Apply PTFE (Teflon) tape or pipe sealant to the supply line threads, attach to reel inlet and tighten securely.
The other end of incoming line can now be connected to a suitably rated air supply source.
Check the connection for leakage, also check hose reel for correct operation.
If hose stopper adjustment is required, pull hose from reel and allow to latch at desired length. Loosen stopper bolts,
and slide stopper to a position close to the hose guide. Tighten stopper bolts, and unlatch the reel.
Note: For ceiling mounting, always ensure that the reel is mounted at least 10 feet above the floor.
Fitting the Hose
1. Securely stabilize the reel
2. Facing the swivel fitting side of reel: turn the drum clockwise, by hand, until the rewind spring is tight, and drum
has latched. As an extra precaution while installing new hose, secure drum in the latched position
3. Insert end of the hose through guide roller bracket, and feed through the opening in the center of the drum hub
4. Screw fitting into swivel and tighten
Note: To avoid damage to the swivel, use a spanner to support the swivel fitting while tightening the hose.
5. Attach hose stopper on the other end of hose, near the outlet fitting
6. Carefully release drum latch, and slowly allow hose to wind onto the reel
Note: The final spring tension adjustment is accomplished by adding, wraps of hose around the drum (to increase
tension) or taking off wraps of hose (to decrease tension).

• Check reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out the hose. A “clicking” nose will be heard every half revolu-
tion of the drum
• To latch the reel, pull out the hose and allow it to retract after hearing the rst second or third “click”
• To unlatch, slowly pull out the hose until the “clicking” noise stops, and then let the hose retract until the hose
stop rests against the hose guide
• Periodically check the hose condition for wear or damage, and check the swivel tting for leakage. Replace any
worn, damaged, or leading parts
Adjusting the Spring Tension
• Pull out approximately 6ft or 2m of hose and allow the drum to latch
• Remove hose stopper from hose, and feed hose back through guide
• Wrap the pulled hose one time around the drum to increase tension or unwrap hose one time from drum to de-
crease intension
• Re-insert hose through guide, and install stopper onto hose end
• Unlatch the drum and check tension. Pull hose from reel, and adjust stopper position if necessary
Replacement of the Swivel Seals
Note: There are two types of swivel arrangements
• Turn off and disconnect the air supply line from the swivel inlet
• Remove the swivel assembly from the reel axle
• Hold the tting body in a vice. Remove the brass tube from the body, and remove the swivel nut from the tube
• Replace the seals and reassemble swivel. Apply pipe sealant to brass tube threads, thread into tting body and
tighten
• Re-connect the swivel to the reel axle and tighten
• Re-connect the air inlet supply line
Replacing the Hose
• Turn off the air supply to the hose reel
• Pull out all of the old the hose and lock the reel in this position.
Caution: Make sure reel drum is securely locked and can’t rotate back
• Carefully disconnect the hose from the male tting in the centre of the axle and remove the old hose
• Feed the new hose through the guide and the opening in the drum, and connect to male tting.
