Operating Instructions; Maintenance - Klutch 62249 Owner's Manual


Wear ANSI Z87.1 compliant safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when assembling
and using the hose reel.

Do not exceed the max working pressure of 300 PSI.

Never attach any tool or accessory to the hose unless it is capable of safely operating at a
pressure greater than the supply pressure.

If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, remove system pressure immediately.

If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove system pressure immediately.

Do not kink the hose. Do not step on the hose or drive or drag objects over the hose. Do not place
any objects on the hose or hose reel.

Pull the hose from the reel by grasping the hose itself, not the valve.

Use soap and water when checking for air leaks. Exposure of skin directly to pressurized air or
fluids could result in severe bodily injury. Remember, even low pressure is very dangerous and
can cause personal injury or death.

Avoid accidentally releasing the reel's latching mechanism. The hose reel is under tension and
accidental release can cause a wildly spinning reel and personal injury.

If necessary, adjust the spring tension on the reel by adding or removing wraps of hose from the
spool, one wrap at a time, until desired tension is obtained.

To avoid damage to the hose reel, always hold on to the cable while it is rewinding.
1. Check the reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out the hose. A clicking noise will be heard
every half revolution of the drum.
2. To latch the reel, pull out the hose then allow it to retract after hearing the first, second, or third
click.
3. To unlatch the reel, slowly pull out the hose until the clicking noise stops then, holding on to the
hose, let it retract in a controlled way until the stop/block rests against the hose guide/rollers.
4. Keep the hose and air-tools or nozzles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
5. Periodically clean the hose with a cloth dipped in warm water to remove dirt or deposits and
ensure correct winding on the reel. Do not use detergents or solvents which could damage with
cable-winding materials.
6. Periodically check the hose condition for wear or damage, and check the swivel fitting for leakage.
See the maintenance section for tips to replace any worn, damaged, or leaking parts.
Maintain the hose reel by adopting a program of conscientious repair and maintenance in accordance
with the following recommended procedures. It is recommended that the general condition of any tool
be examined before it is used. Keep your tool in good repair. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. The following chart is based on a normal operation schedule.
