4.1.3.
Fasten the mounting plate (fig.3) in the desired location. Reel dimensions and the pattern of the mounting holes in the base are
shown below. Tighten all hardware securely.
4.1.4.
The guide arm (fig.1) that guides the hose on and off the reel can be
repositioned for better function as shown in the picture below. If desired, follow
steps 4.1.5 through 4.1.7 to reposition the arm. Otherwise continue with
step 4.2.1.
fig.3
4.1.5.
Pull out the hose until the reel latches.
4.1.6.
Remove the four sets of nuts and washers holding the guide arm (fig.1) to
the mounting plate (fig.3).
4.1.7.
Turn the arm to a desired position, aligning the arm mounting holes with the holes in the flange of the base, and re-tighten the nuts
and washers.
4.2.
coNNect tHe Hoses
4.2.1.
Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to the supply hose threads then attach it to end fitting of the reel's swivel assembly (behind the
water inlet valve) (fig.1) and tighten. If not already connected, the unpressurized supply hose can now be connected to the supply
source. If the reel was supplied with hose already wound on it, continue with step 4.2.7. If not, continue with the next step.
4.2.2.
Turn the reel drum by hand until the rewind spring is tight, and drum has latched. As an extra precaution while installing the new
hose, secure the drum in its latched position.
4.2.3.
Insert the end of the delivery hose through guide roller collar (fig.1) and feed it through the opening in the drum flange.
4.2.4.
Use Teflon tape or pipe sealant on the hose fitting threads then screw it into the fitting of the short hose attached to the reel's swivel
assembly under the water inlet valve (fig.1) and tighten.
Note:
To avoid damage to the swivel, use a wrench to support the swivel while tightening the hose.
4.2.5.
Attach the hose stopper (fig.1) to the other end of delivery hose.
4.2.6.
Carefully release the drum latch, and slowly allow hose to wind onto the reel in a controlled way making sure the hose winds in
even, straight turns on the reel.
4.2.7.
Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to the outlet fitting on the delivery hose then attach it to a desired tool, or nozzle. Pressurize
the reel and check all the connections for leakage. Also check the hose reel for correct rotation/latching and that system pressure is
adequate to perform the intended function (see the Operating Instructions).
4.2.8.
If a final adjustment to the hose stopper (fig.1) is required, pull the hose from the reel and allow it to latch at a desired length.
Loosen the hose stopper bolts, and slide it to a position close to the guide roller collar (fig.1). Retighten the hose stopper bolts.
5. INstallatIoN
WaRNING! Do Not position the reel in areas of extreme heat or cold.
‰
Note:
Prolonged exposure to direct and intense sunlight may affect the integrity of the polymers within the moulded components. Avoid, if
possible, positioning the reel in direct sunlight.
5.1.
mouNtING tHe Reel
5.1.1.
Due to the way the retractable hose operates, the reel should only be mounted in one of two positions shown below. The brackets
supplied will enable you to mount the reel in either position.
WaRNING! Ensure the wall, ceiling or other structure, to which the hose reel is to be fixed, is of sound construction and that the
‰
securing points will hold the working strain of the hose when in use.
5.1.2.
Using the mounting holes template (cut from box lid), drill appropriate holes for the desired mounting or see diagram below.
5.1.3.
When wall mounted the hose exit point should not be more than 2.4m above floor level. Above this height ceiling mounting is
recommended.
5.1.4.
Fix one bracket to the chosen surface using fixings that are appropriate to the substrate and strong enough to carry the weight of
the reel plus the working strain exerted on it when in use. Position the hose reel onto the first bracket, then proceed to fix
the second bracket into place and ensure the reel is secure.
