• Ensure that reel is properly installed before connecting input and
output hoses.
• Bleed fluid/gas pressure from system before servicing reel.
• Before connecting reel to supply line, ensure that pressure does not
exceed maximum working pressure rating of reel.
• Remember, even low pressure is very dangerous and can cause
personal injury or death.
• Be aware of machinery and personnel in work area.
• If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, remove system pressure
immediately.
• A high tension spring assembly is contained within the reel. Exercise
extreme caution.
• Pull hose from reel by grasping the hose itself.
• Ensure that reel, hose, and equipment being serviced are properly
grounded. Use an ohmmeter to check ground continuity.
• If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove system pressure
immediately. Do not pull or jerk on hose!
• Treat and respect the hose reel as any other piece of machinery,
observing all common safety practices.
SAFETY
Personal injury and/or equipment damage may result if proper safety precautions are not observed.

ADJUSTMENTS
Warning: Use extreme caution; reel under tension. Avoid releasing
latch mechanism. If necessary, adjust spring tension on reel by adding
or removing wraps of hose from spool, one wrap at a time, until desired
tension is obtained. Add wraps to increase tension. Remove wraps to
decrease tension.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
User servicing of the reel is limited to replacing input/output hoses
only. Refer all other repairs to an authorized service person or directly to
Reelcraft. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage and may void the warranty. Warning: Rewind hose on reel, then
bleed pressure from system before performing the following procedures.
1. Replace hoses in accordance with procedures given in “Installation
Instructions” section of this manual.
Caution: When replacing drive spring, hold the center of the spring down
as the hub is pulled out. If the center is allowed to raise up, the spring
may escape from it’s container with enough force to cause injuries.
2. All mating moving parts are to be lubricated with Perma Bond or
Loctite anti-seize compound.
When disposing of old or broken spring assemblies, the coils should
be welded or wired together to prevent possible injury to scrap handling
personnel.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MOUNTING
Caution: Unless reel was specified differently when ordering,
maximum installation height is 16 feet. Do not exceed this
distance.
1. Unpack and inspect reel for damage. Turn by hand to check
for smooth operation. Check for completeness.
2. Configure reel for top, side or bottom-wind hose dispensing
by removing nuts (1) securing guide arm bracket (2). Position
guide arm bracket to desired location, and replace nuts.
Caution: When changing guide arm positions, the U-bolt
must be placed in the proper location as instructed in figure A
below. The reel can “latch out” during use if this instruction is
not adhered to.
3. Position reel on floor, wall, or ceiling. Secure into place using
four (customer supplied) bolts (3).
FOR NON-WELDING HOSE REELS (RS Models Only)
INSTALLING THE INPUT HOSE
Warning: Ensure that supply line pressure does not exceed
maximum working pressure rating of reel. Apply pipe thread
sealant to all threads. Caution: Use flexible hose connection at
input. Do not use rigid plumbing.
1. Connect supply line hose (4) to main shaft input (5) as
indicated in illustration.
INSTALLING THE OUTPUT HOSE (No Hose Model)
Warning: Use extreme caution; reel under tension. Avoid
releasing latch mechanism. Apply pipe thread sealant to all
threads.
1. Manually turn sheave (10) until spring is tight, back off 3
turns, then latch.
2. Route output hose (11) through guide arm bracket (2),
U-bolts (12), then through cutout (13) in spool as indicated in
illustration.
3. Connect output hose (11) to swivel (14) as indicated in
illustration.
4. Tighten U-bolts (12).
5. Charge inlet and outlet hoses. Momentarily open control valve
on working end to purge hoses of gases. When fluid appears
at control valve, close valve. With hoses fully charged, release
latch and wind output hose onto reel.
6. Install REELSAFE®hose identification sticker onto working
end of hose in a highly visible location. (Figure B)
FOR WELDING HOSE REELS (RSTW Models Only)
INSTALLING THE INPUT HOSES
Caution: Apply thread sealant to all input connections to insure
a proper seal.
INSTALLING THE OUTPUT HOSES (No Hose Model)
Caution: Use extreme caution; reel under tension, avoid
releasing latch mechanism. Apply thread sealant to outlet
connections.
1. Manually turn spool assembly until spring is tight, back off
three turns, then latch.
2. Route output hoses through guide bracket.
3. Using a wrench, firmly hold on to output fittings on swivel
while tightening the hose connector.
4. Install REELSAFE®hose identification sticker onto working
end of the gas hose only in a highly visible location. (Figure

SERVICE TO CLUTCH MECHANISM
1. To access the clutch remove set screw (13) indicated in below figure.
2. Remove spool assembly from reel base (2).
3. Remove shaft (24) and pinion gear (26) Note: floats freely and removes without tools
4. Remove clutch plate (22) by removing 4 bolts (19) to access clutch.
5. Inspect the clutch mechanism for excess ware or damage, if required remove and replace (no special tools required)
6. Before replacing the clutch inspect bearing (28) replace if there is excess ware.
7. Replace clutch assembly (20) in housing (21), ensure exposed shoes are facing the base side
8. Reinstall cover plate (22) with lock washers (23) between plate and hex couplings (25), reinstall bolts (19)
9. Align key way in clutch assembly (20) with key way in shaft (24) and install shaft through bearing (28) in base. Orient shaft so
longer key way faces base side.
10. Inspect gear (26) if in good condition reinstall gear onto shaft (24)
11. Reinstall spool assembly and test reel for clutch functionality.
