The identication plate contains, among other things, the
following data:
- product name
- serial number
1.2 General description
The Spring Exhaust Hose Reel (SER) uses an enclosed spring
cassette to recoil the exhaust hose. An operator can pull down
the hose to the desired position and pull down again to retract
the hose.
SER is recommended for small to medium-sized working areas
in which the hose needs to be stored when not in use - limiting
potential damage to personnel and vehicles.

4 INSTALLATION
4.1 Tools and requirements
You need the following tools and requirements to
install the unit:
- philips screwdriver
4.2 Unpacking
The package contains:
- SER
- U-bolts and nuts
- manual
4.3 Mounting the hose
ATTENTION
Before rotating the drum, please note the correct
rotation direction as specied on the spring cassette.
Refer to g. 4.5.
TIP
Install nozzle and hose stop after winding the hose up
onto the drum. This will create maximum ease of
install.
• Dismantle drum lid by removing the philips screws.
• Rotate the drum the required amount of turns (approx. 1,5 m
(5 ft.) hose per turn) in order to host the complete hose but
approx. 1,5 m (5 ft.) and lock in position.
• Mount the hose connection (B) to the bearing (A) (g. 4.2).
• Mount hose to the duct adapter using clamp (C) together
with the hose support bracket (g. 4.2).
• Bend hose into a natural soft curve and fasten it using clamp
(D) (g. 4.3).
• Re-mount the drum lid.
• Mount the edge protection (E) at the opening of the drum
where the hose protrudes (g. 4.3).
• Slightly pull the drum back until the ratchet releases to wind
the hose up and guide the hose onto the drum.
Fig. 4.2 Mounting the hose
ATTENTION
Do not use long tack screws when installing ductwork
to the optional HR-AD. Protruding screws could
prevent the automatic damper from opening properly.

4.4 Adjusting hose stop bar
The height of the hose stop bar in the frame can be adjusted to
accomodate the dierent hose diameters. For a system with a 3
in. (75 mm) hose, place the bar at the bottom position, with a 4
in. (100 mm) at the middle position, with a 5 in. (125 mm) at
the top position and for a system with a 6 in. (150 mm) hose
remove the bar completely. Refer to g. 4.4 below.
Fig. 4.4 Adjusting the height of the hose stop bar
4.5 Mounting on wall or ceiling
ATTENTION
Please consult the table heights and dimensions in
paragraph 4.6 before to determine the mounting
height of the hose reel before installation.
4.5.1 Wall mounting
The package contains no mounting hardware for mounting the
frame, since the required mounting hardware depends on the
wall type. The hose reel can be mounted on e.g.:
- a thin brick or concrete wall (min. thickness 4 in. (120 mm),
using four threaded rods M12;
- a thick brick or concrete wall, using four cotter bolts
M12x120x60;
- a steel prole (e.g. H-prole), using four threaded rods M12.
For this purpose two square tubes (1.2x1.2x0.1 in. (30x30x3
mm)) need to be mounted to prevent bending.

5 USE
The SER hose reel includes either one or two heavy-duty springs
that are factory installed to the outside of the reel assembly. An
operator pulls the hose down to a convenient position, which
locks the hose in place. When the SER is no longer needed, the
operator recoils the hose by pulling down on the hose, allowing
the hose to recoil in a controlled manner.
