Series SW/TWHD70000 Welding Hose Reels

IN-SERVICE CAUTION:
• The user is cautioned not to shut off the fuel gas at the
regulator or supply source first, as a flashback may result,
and thereby damage the hose.
• Users are cautioned specifically to shut off the gas at the
torch first, and then at the regulator or supply source, to
limit permeation of gas through the hose wall. This should
be done when the torch will not be used for periods in
excess of 30 minutes.
• After the flame has been extinguished and the gas turned off
at the supply source, it is recommended that any remaining
gas be bled to minimize degradation of the rubber during
long shutdowns.
• To prevent an accumulation or concentration of gas that
could be explosive or otherwise harmful to personnel, ade-
quate ventillation must be provided at all times, particularly
in confined areas where fuel gas is being used.
• Additional advice for minimizing the permeation problem has
been supplied by an NWSA member who states “The source
of gas (fuel gas and oxygen) should be closed before leav-
ing for the day or shift. After the cylinder or manifold valves
have been closed, the torch valves (both fuel gas and oxy-
gen) should be opened to remove all pressure from hoses.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MOUNTING
Caution: Unless reel was specified differently when ordering,
maximum installation height is 16 feet. Do not exceed this dis-
tance. Observe all applicable NEC, OSHA & local codes when
installing this equipment.
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 bolts (or nuts) (1) securing guide arm bracket
(2). 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. Determine new guide arm bracket location and remove cor-
responding bolts, (or nuts). Position guide arm bracket to
reel and replace bolts (or nuts).
4. Position reel on floor, wall or ceiling. Secure into place
using four (customer supplied) screws or bolts (3).
INSTALLING THE INPUT HOSES
Caution: Apply teflon tape to all input connections to insure
a proper seal.
INSTALLING THE OUTPUT HOSES
Caution: Use extreme caution; reel under tension, avoid
releasing latch mechanism. Apply teflon tape to outlet connec-
tions.
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.
