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 hose bumper
and guide arm to use the hose properly. See the instructions on the next
page to adjust the hose bumper 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 standard reels.
Do not over tighten the connection. Recommended torque
should not exceed 70 ft./lb.
