Dimensions
• 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, not the control
valve.
• 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.

Installing the Input Hose
Mounting the Hose Reel
Prior to mounting the hose reel, ensure that the supply line pressure does
not exceed the maximum working pressure of the hose reel.
Do not exceed the maximum installation height of 16’ unless the reel was
specified differently when ordering. The maximum operating temperature
is 150 °F (66 °C).
Unpack and inspect the reel for damage. Turn the spool by hand to check
for a smooth operation.
Position the reel on the floor, wall or ceiling. Secure into place using four
mounting bolts (not included). See the included mounting template for
additional instructions for your specific mounting application. Depending
on where the reel is placed, it may be necessary to adjust the bumper stop
and guide arm to use the hose properly. See the instructions on the next
page to adjust the bumper stop and reposition the guide arm.
Use a flexible hose connection at input. Do not
use rigid plumbing. (input hose not included)
Apply pipe thread sealant to threads on stan-
dard reels.
Do not over tighten the connection.
Recommended torque should not exceed 70
ft./lb.
