CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Leaks
Your hose reel is manufactured with the finest quality components available. All components
are manufactured to rigorous quality standards not common in other consumer grade hose
reels available today. When you install your hose reel, be sure the hose washers are in place
and all fittings are secure. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN as you might damage the components. If
you live in more temperate climates, be sure to drain the unit of any residual water before
storing. DO NOT EXPOSE THE UNIT TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES while water remains in
the plumbing system.
Troubleshooting Guide
Problem: Swivel head is not rotating causing the leader hose to kink up.
Solution: Remove leader hose and turn the square head of the swivel several times; apply lubricant.
Problem: Leaking fixtures (elbow; brass coupling; swivel)
Solution: Apply Teflon plumber's tape or/and make sure fixtures are tightened.
Rust
Your hose reel will give you many seasons of reliable and functional hose storage. As with any steel
product, there is always the chance for rust developing over time. Your hose reel finish is designed for
industrial applications, but even the toughest of coatings can be compromised by scratches. Such
minor surface damage can occur in shipping despite our best efforts. We have found that most scratch-
es occur during assembly and/or installation (in the case of wall mounted hose reels). If the base metal
is exposed to the elements long enough, rust will develop. In the case of wall-mounted reels, be sure to
use stainless steel mounting hardware. We recommend that you periodically inspect your reel for any
surface damage. Scratches can easily be repaired by using standard automotive touch-up body paint.
Some of our most loyal customers recommend that at the end of each season, the unit be cleaned and
painted with a clear acrylic paint.
NOTE
It is recommended that the hose reel (D) be taken
off and stored indoors or sealed in a plastic container
for winter protection.
•To help delay rust, check for any scratches on your
hose reel. Apply clear acrylic/weatherproof paint to
avoid rusting.
• Drain water before storing.
• DO NOT leave water running though the reel while
not in-use or unsupervised.
•Turn off water after each use.

CURING A LEAKING SWIVEL
Problem:
Your new Navigator rotating hose reel is leaking at the swivel.
Solution:
It is normal for the swivel to leak slightly until the O-rings are wet and have seated. If the leaking
continues, you don’t need to take the reel back to the store. This is a simple problem and is
easily fixed by a few simple procedures.
1. If the leader hose is attached to the swivel, unscrew the hose and look inside the swivel.
2. Using either a hex key or a large screw driver, insert the tool into the hex opening and gently
tighten the threaded insert. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
3. This should stop the leaking.
4. If the unit still leaks, please check that the hose washer is inside the nut. You may contact
Liberty for a new hose washer or obtain one at any hardware store.
5. If your swivel is old, the O-Rings may be worn, please contact us for a new set of O-Rings.
6. If these steps do not solve your leaking problem, then contact Liberty Garden Products.

WARRANTY
Updated 9/1/2016
Updated 9/17/2013
Our guarantee is as functional and straight-forward as our products. Since we design and build our products to
provide you with many years of satisfaction, all Liberty™ products are guaranteed against defects in materials
and workmanship. In the unlikely event that a problem arises as a result of a defect in our materials or work-
ship, we will promptly repair or replace the item at our expense. All we require is that you contact us first and
we'll take it from there. It is important to note that our guarantee is not an unconditional guarantee for the life of
the product. Liberty™ hose reels are made from the finest materials available under our exact manufacturing
standards. But, like any other product, it is not indestructible. Therefore, our guarantee does not cover:
• Product damage that is a result of abuse, misuse, or mishandling. (Exposing the unit to freezing temperatures
with water remaining in the reel plumbing system voids the unit warranty.)
• Rust. Despite the industrial quality coating and our best efforts, steel will rust over time.
• Incidental damage, consequential damages, injury to persons or to other property not purchased from us due to
the use of our product.
• DO NOT consume water from garden hose; not fit for human consumption.
If there is damage to the product that occurred as a result of shipping, you should file a damage claim
with the carrier.
• DO NOT leave water running though the reel while not in-use or unsupervised.
As with any product, it should be expected that component parts - particularly moving parts, seals, o-rings,
swivel, hose and connectors will wear with use and over time may need to be replaced or refurbished. This type
of normal wear and tear is naturally not covered by our guarantee, but we will always be happy to provide you
with prompt, high quality service and replacement parts at a nominal cost.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
(Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation may not apply to you).
You will find that we apply the same standard of excellence to our customer service as we do to our products.
Warning! The hose and hose fittings contain chemical(s), including lead, known to the state of California to
cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Wash hands after use.
