INSTALLATION
The hose reel can be bench, wall, high wall or ceiling mounted.
The hose guide arm and the hose outlet opening must be posi-
tioned according to figure A to ensure a smooth operation of the
reel and to increase the hose life.To move the hose guide arm
and the hose outlet opening, the screws marked with an arrow on
figure B must be removed. Move the arm and hose outlet to its
correct position, replace screws and tighten.
HOSE STOPPER ADJUSTMENT
To modify the hose stopper position, pull out hose to the desired
length and latch reel. Loosen the hose stopper and place it at the
opening of the hose guide.NOTE: CHECK THAT THE REEL IS
PERFECTLY LATCHED BEFORE REMOVING THE HOSE STOP-
PER.
HOSE REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: REEL IS SPRING-LOADED. INJURY WILL RESULT
IFYOU DO NOT MAINTAIN CONTROL OF REEL AND HOSE AT
ALL TIMES.
1. Unwind hose completely then allow it to rewind to the first
locked position. Secure vise grips or other device on spool
assembly, near the guide arm assembly to prevent the reel
from retracting.DO NOT CRUSH LIP.
2. Remove hose from the reel. Insert new hose through hole in
spool and attach clamps.Attach hose stop.
3. With one hand on the hose remove the vise grips and allow the
hose to rewind.
4. Once service gun is installed, verify that the spring tension is
adequate.If the spring tension is not adequate, follow the steps
below to add additional spring tension.
SPRING LOAD ADJUSTMENT
1. The hose reels are supplied with a spring tension, which is fac
tory adjusted according to the hose.If the spring tension is to
be adjusted afterwards CHECK that the required length of the
hose can be pulled out WITHOUT STRETCHING THE PRING
TO THE LIMIT.The lowest spring tension possible increases
the life of the spring.
2. Too much spring tension will shorten the life of the spring and
put excessive wear and tear on the hose. Do not exceed 18
turns from unwound position.
3. To adjust tension, pull out approximately 6 ft.or 2 m of hose
and allow the drum to latch.
4. Remove hose stopper from hose and feed hose back through
guide.
5. Wrap the pulled hose one more time around the drum to
increase tension, or un-wrap hose one time from drum to
decrease tension.
6. Re-feed hose through guide and install hose stopper.
7. Unlatch drum and check tension. Pull hose from reel, and
adjust stopper position if necessary.
SWIVEL REPLACMENT

THE NEAREST CONTROLVALVE TO THE REEL AND OPEN
THE FLUID CONTROL GUNTO RELEASE THE PRESSURE
