Connecting the hose
CAUTION: Do not connect the hose to the
connecting tube assembly until after hose
reel has been installed. Fully extend and
charge hose before winding on ot reel.
Momentarily open control valve, when
initially charging, to purge hose of gases.
When fluid appears at control valve, close
valve. This prevents flattening of the hose
and excessive pressure on the drum when
fluid supply is reinitialized at a later time.
1. Apply thread compound to all threads.
2. Hand thread male hose connector into
connecting tube assembly.
3. Using a wrench, firmly hold onto
connecting tube assembly while
tightening hose connector.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING-PREVENT STATIC
SPARKING: When working around flam-
mable liquids such as solvents, paints,
chemicals or petroleum products, ensure
that the hose reel, hose and the equipment
being serviced are properly grounded. Use
grounded hose(s) (static wire). Use an
ohmmeter to check continuity of the
ground circuit. Fire and/or explosion can
result if proper grounding is not achieved.
If reel is power or air driven, be careful of
chain/sprocket drive system. Keep hands
clear. Do not wear loose fitting clothing.
Pull hose from the reel by grasping the
hose itself, not the control handle or
swivel.
