4.1 EXTENDING THE HOSE
Steadily pull the hose out to the desired length. When you stop
pulling, the hose should automatically lock. If not, give it a short
pull to activate the mechanism.
4.2 RETRACTING THE HOSE
Before retracting the hose turn the water off and leave the spray
nozzle open in order to release any pressure in the hose line. To
retract the hose give it a short pull to disengage the automatic lock
after which the hose will retract. To ensure satisfactory retraction
and stowage of the hose it is recommended that at least 25% of the
hose should be extended. Keep hold of the end of the hose,
without exerting undue tension, so that it is drawn back into the reel
in a controlled manner. In the event of the hose retracting
unsatisfactorily pull out the entire hose and start again. When the
warning mark appears (one metre from end), stop pulling.
WARNING! Whilst the hose reel has a controlled retraction
mechanism it is still recommended that the user holds the end of
the hose during this process to avoid injury to others or damage to
property.
4.3 ADJUSTING THE SPRAY
4.3.1 To shut off the spray nozzle keep turning it anticlockwise as
shown in fig.4. To turn it on and adjust the spray turn it clockwise.
As the nozzle first opens up the spray pattern will be fine. As the
nozzle is opened further the spray pattern will be coarse and if
the nozzle is further opened the spray will turn to a jet.

3. MOUNTING/ASSEMBLY
 WARNING! Do not position the hose reel in direct sunlight or in
areas of extreme heat or cold.
3.1 MOUNTING THE HOSE REEL. The hose reel should be mounted
close enough to an external water tap to prevent the 2mtr lead
hose from being unduly stretched when the reel is moved from
side to side. The mounting bracket can be fixed to a masonary
surface or screwed to a convenient wooden structure capable of
supporting the reel.
3.2 The reel is designed to swivel through 180° and therefore requires
clearance either side of the mounting bracket. Ideally the reel
should be positioned so that the majority of the hose can be
pulled out straight without having to go round a corner. Where this
is unavoidable mount the reel 1.5m from the corner and ensure
that the hose is not abraded by any rough or sharp surfaces.
3.3 Remove the top cover from the bracket (see fig.3-3) and allow the
bracket to slide down and off the hose reel mount. Remove the
two screws from the bottom cover and remove this from the
bracket too (see fig.3-1). If mounting on masonary, drill four 12mm
holes in the wall ready to receive the four anchor bolts provided.
Use the bracket dimensions shown in fig.2 or use the bracket itself
as a template.
3.4 Insert the four anchor bolts into the holes. Mount the bracket onto
the protruding studs and loosely secure it with the flat washers,
spring washers and nuts. See fig.1. Tighten evenly until the
bracket is secure. The bracket must not deviate from the vertical
by more than 5°.
3.5 Refit the bracket bottom cover and secure it with the two screws
as shown as shown in fig.3-1. Slide the hose reel mounting down
into the bracket (see fig.3-2) and refit the bracket top cover (see
fig.3-3). Rotate the reel from side to side to ensure that the
mounting position is satisfactory.
3.6 Release the tap connector from the end of the leader hose by
pulling the green sleeve back (see fig.5C) and pulling out the
connector (see fig.5B). Screw the connector to the tap.
3.7 Push the leader hose onto the tap connector. Extend the hose
before turning on the tap. If there are any leaks tighten the
appropriate fixings.
fig.1
WARNING! In the event of the reel becoming faulty it should be returned to your Sealey dealer for
professional maintenance. The user should not attempt any maintenance due to the high tension spring
mechanism inside. To ensure reliable operation, clean the hose and casing regularly. DO NOT spray or
wet the product, but clean with a cloth and warm water. DO NOT use solvents or detergents, as these may
permanently damage the item.
WINTER STORAGE: Before the onset of cold weather all water should be drained from the hose to
prevent it freezing inside the reel. Also in colder weather the plastic hose will become more rigid and
may not auto-rewind correctly. For these reasons it is best to store the hose reel inside during periods of
extreme cold. To store the hose reel, ensure it is clean and dry. Place the reel in a safe, dry, childproof
location, where the temperature will remain reasonably stable. DO NOT store in a nylon, or plastic, bag as
this will encourage condensation.
