Hose Reel Safety Precautions
 WARNING
Exposure of skin directly to pressurized air,
or fluid could result in severe bodily injury.
1. Make sure incoming line pressure does not
exceed rated operating pressure for your
model hose reel.
2. Use proper eye protection when assembling
and using the hose reel.
3. Assemble the hose reel on a clean
workbench.
4. Use soap and water when checking for
leaks.
5. Keep children away from the work area.
Installation of Reel
For overhead ceiling mounting: Install reel
between ten and fifteen feet above the floor.
You will need to purchase appropriate hardware
for mounting your new reel (four 7/16" or M12
bolts, washers and nuts or four masonry bolts,
or similar depending on installation).
1. The reel base has four 1/2” (or 12.7mm)
drilled holes for mounting on a suitable flat
surface.
2. The reel is supplied with a hose guide roller
bracket. The bracket position may be
changed depending on the reel mounting
position. Figure 1 shows “Typical Mounting
Positions”. If bracket position needs to be
changed, do the following:
• Pull out some hose and let reel latch.
See Operation Section: “To Latch,” “To
Unlatch,” page 4.
• Remove the bolts that attach the guide
roller bracket to the support post.
• Rotate guide roller bracket to correct
position, replace bolts and tighten.
3. Using the four holes in the base, mount the
reel in the desired location. Be sure to use
appropriate hardware and tighten securely.
4. Flush hose with air or water prior to
connecting to source. Apply Teflon tape or
pipe sealant to supply line threads, attach to
reel inlet and tighten. The other end of
incoming line can now be connected to
desired supply source.
Note: A swivel connector and flexible inlet
hose are required for supply line or warranty is
void.
5. Flush some product through the system and
reel prior to connecting outlet nozzle to tool.
Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to outlet
fitting on reel hose, and then attach to
desired tool, or nozzle. Check connection
for leakage using soapy water.
6. If hose stopper adjustment is required, pull
hose from reel and allow latching at desired
length. Loosen stopper screws and slide
stopper to a position close to the hose guide.
Tighten stopper screws, and unlatch the
reel.

Operation
1. Check reel for correct operation by slowly
pulling out the hose. A “clicking” noise will
be heard every half revolution of the drum.
2. To latch: the reel, pull out the hose and
allow it to retract after hearing the first,
second, or third “click”.
3. 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.
 WARNING
Do not allow hose to retract without
restraining recoil speed. Never let go of the
hose when rewinding. Failure to comply
may result in severe injury.
4. Periodically check the hose condition for
wear or damage, and check the swivel fitting
for leakage. Replace any worn, damaged,
or leaking parts.
Adjustment of Spring Tension
1. Pull out approximately 6 feet, or 2 meters of
hose and allow the drum to latch.
2. Remove hose stopper from hose, and feed
hose back through guide.
3. Wrap the pulled hose one time around the
drum to increase tension or un-wrap hose
one time from drum to decrease tension.
4. Re-insert hose through guide, and install
stopper onto hose end.
5. Pull hose from reel, and check tension.
Adjust stopper if necessary.
Replacement of Swivel Seal
1. Turn off and disconnect supply line from
swivel inlet.
2. Remove swivel assembly from reel axle.
3. Remove retainer clip from swivel, and take
apart.
Note: You may want to remove swivel from
reel hose end, but this in not necessary unless a
new swivel is being installed.
4. Replace the seals and reassemble swivel.
5. Use Teflon tape, or thread sealant on swivel
thread fitting, reconnect the swivel thread
fitting with axle.
6. Re-connect inlet supply line and use soapy
water to check for leaks.
Replacement of Hose
1. Turn off supply to reel and drain.
2. Pull out all the old hose and lock the reel in
this position.
 WARNING
Make sure reel drum is securely locked and
cannot rotate back. Failure to comply may
result in severe injury.
3. Remove two hose clamps from hose.
4. Carefully disconnect hose from swivel joint
on side of reel, or male fitting in axle center
and remove old hose.
5. Use the hose guard and hose stop from the
old hose and place in the same position on
the new hose.
6. Feed new hose through guide and opening
in drum, and connect to swivel. Use thread
sealant or Teflon tape on the threads.
7. Re-install two hose clamps, on inside and
outside of drum flange.
8. Carefully release the drum latch, and slowly
allow the hose to wind onto the reel.
Note: Final spring adjustment is accomplished
by adding, or removing wraps of hose around
the drum. See “Adjustment of Spring Tension.”
Spring Canister
If the rewind spring fails for any reason: For
safety reasons, the manufacturer strongly
recommends the replacement of the spring
canister be carried out by a JET Authorized
Repair Station.
