Part No.: L8251FZP
Retractable Air Hose Reel, 50 ft.
Owner’s Instructions
OPERATION
The reel can lock the air hose at approximately 17-inch intervals.
Each latching interval is announced by a series of five "clicks."
This "ratcheting" sound lets you know that the reel is in the
latching zone as the air hose is pulled out.
1. Latching Hose -
After pulling out the desired length of hose, allow it to
retract slightly until you feel it stop. The reel is now latched.
2. Rewinding Hose -
Pull out approximately one extra foot from latch position and
allow hose to retract. The reel will continue rewinding until
hose is fully retracted. Do not allow the hose to rewind
uncontrolled back into the reel. Personal injury can result.
3. Hose Stopper Adjustment -
To modify the hose stopper position, pull out hose to the
desired length and latch reel. Loosen screws holding the
two halves of the hose stopper together, slide stopper to
opening of reel and tighten screws.
NOTE: ENSURE THE REEL IS COMPLETELY LATCHED
BEFORE LOOSENING THE HOSE STOPPER.
4. Do not extend hose beyond the indicator shown in the image below.
