Dimensions
INSTALLATION: A flexible hose connection must be used between the hose reel inlet and the source of supply to prevent possible
misalignment and binding.
MOUNTING: The hose reel is equipped with a universal mounting bracket so that it can be mounted on the floor, wall or
ceiling; whichever place is convenient. The hose guide arm can be moved to the position desired by removing
the 1/4-20 hex nuts (4) fastening the hose guide enclosure to the reel back cover. Shift the hose guide
enclosure to the desired position and replace the 1/4-20 hex nuts. NOTE: For proper installation in wall mount
applications, ensure reel is mounted with inlet on the right as you are facing the reel. Failing to do so could cause
latching issues.
Hose reel spring and bearings are factory lubricated and require no further lubrication.
LUBRICATION:
REPLACING HOSE: 1. Remove 1/4-20 hex nuts (4) which fasten the hose guide enclosure to the reel back cover and pull off the
enclosure.
2. Wind spool flange clockwise-facing swivel-until spring is tight.
3. Back off three turns and latch.
4. Insert hose through roller guide.
5. Connect hose fitting to swivel joint and secure hose with clamps.
ADJUSTMENTS:
To adjust spring tension, add or remove wraps of hose from the spool, one wrap at a time until desired tension is
obtained.
REPAIRS:
Extensive repairs should be performed only by an authorized serviceman or factory to avoid damage which may
void your warranty. Remove all spring tension before beginning disassembly process.
