Explanation of safety
signals
Safety
• Personal injury and/or equipment damage
may result if proper safety precautions are
not observed.
• Ensure that reel is properly installed
before connecting input and output hoses.
• Bleed air/water pressure from system
before servicing reel.
• Before connecting reel to supply line,
ensure pressure does not exceed
maximum working pressure rating of reel.
• Low pressure is very dangerous and can
cause personal injury or death.
• Be aware of machinery and personnel in
work area.
• If leak occurs in hose or reel, remove
system pressure immediately.
• High tension spring assembly is
contained within reel. Exercise
extreme caution.
• Pull hose from reel by grasping hose itself,
not control valve.
• Ensure 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 hose reel as any
other piece of machinery, observing all
safety practices.
NOTE

recommendations as well as
information to prevent property damage
and ensure efficient trouble-free
operation.
