Installing A Hose - Graco 700 Series Instructions-Parts List Manual

To install a hose on a hose reel with the proper amount
of spring tension, follow these steps:
WARNING
Always wear heavy, non-slippery gloves when
adjusting the spring tension to protect your hands
from being cut on the hose reel.
1. Clamp the hose reel to a flat surface.
2. Place a piece of tape on the side of the reel flange
as a visual reference point for counting reel rota-
tions.
3. Unlatch the reel drum, and allow it to slowly rotate
until all spring tension has been released. Then
rotate the reel in the direction of the arrow shown
in Fig. 5 to achieve the proper amount of spring
tension for the hose you are installing. The table
below shows the number of rotations required for
each hose.
NOTE: Release the reel only at points where it is
securely latched.

4. Attach a C-clamp to the reel flange, as shown in
Fig. 5, to help prevent the reel from unintentionally
becoming unlatched and spinning freely.
WARNING
Never allow the reel to spin freely. Doing so
causes the hose to spin out of control, which could
cause serious injury if you are hit by the hose.
5. Uncoil and extend the new hose, and loosely
install the hose stop (48) near the outlet end of the
hose.
6. Attach the other end of the new hose to the
90-degree elbow (39).
7. Remove the C-clamp from the reel flange.
8. Pull the hose firmly enough to release the latch,
then slowly allow the hose to retract.
9. Ensure that the hose can be pulled out all the way
and that it fully retracts. If it does not pull out or
retract properly, see Adjusting Spring Tension
on page 13.
10. Position the hose stop so that the hose extends far
enough for all operators to reach the dispensing
valve.
