General Rules Applied; Warranty; Description; Operation - Faicom A Use And Maintenance Manual

This manual is giving information about a correct assembly, use and maintenance of the hose reels in
order to prevent accidents.
The hose reel has been planned in conformity to the present EEC rules and namely:
- UNI EN ISO 12100-1:2010 - UNI EN ISO 12100-2:2010 Safety of machinery: Basic concepts, ge-
neral principles for design - Basic terminology, methodology and technical principles
- UNI EN 13857:2008 Safety of machinery: Safety distances to prevent hazard zones being reached
by upper and lower limbs.
The equipment is guaranteed for a period of 18 months from date of purchase and must be used in
accordance with the instructions contained in this manual. Warranty does not cover all parts which are
faulty after incorrect use, incorrect installation or maintenance, maintenance carried out by unauthorized
personnel, transport damages, or for circumstances not concerning manufacturing defects. The manu-
facturer disclaims any responsibility for any damage, that may directly or indirectly, derive to persons
or property in consequence to the not observed requirements specified in this instruction manual and
especially the warnings regarding installation, use and maintenance.
The hose reels models A-AL are made of hot galvanized moulded steel and painted with electrostatic
polyester powder system in order to guarantee a long life of the product. The hose reels models AX-ALX
are made of stainless steel AISI 304 except for some parts made of nylon and aluminium.
The hose rolling is done automatically by a spring made of high quality iron, incorporated in the drum.
The stop can be done at any desired length, through an automatic locking device.
The hose reels supplied without hose are provided with the unloaded spring. Follow the instruc-
tions described at the chapter "HOSE ASSEMBLY".
The automatic device to stop the hose is working on an area corresponding to 1/2 turn of the drum.
For releasing the hose, put a light traction on it.
It is important always to keep the hose back when you rewind it, in order to avoid
damages to the machine, injuries to people or to surrounding things.

5 - INTENDED USE OF THE MACHINE

The hose reels of the painted series are suitable for distributing compressed air, oil, grease, water at
low and high temperature. The hose reels inox are suitable for washing at high or low pressure (see the
schedule). They are not suitable for distribution of fluid for food process but only for different kinds of
washing. According to the EEC rules these hose reels have not to be placed in areas where they might
be in contact with food products.
All the hose reels have to be used only for distributing fluids, at the pressures and temperatures
indicated on the schedule. Every hose reel code is corresponding to a different kind of fluid.
It is forbidden to use the machine for any other kind of fluid.
We decline any responsibility for anomalies or dangers which could arise by an hose assembly with
characteristics and uses different from the ones described herein. Avoid to get on the machine or to lay
any kind of material on it. Check periodically the correct operation of the hose reel, and control that the
couplers are well locked and there are no fluid losses.
Close the feeding of fluid at the shift end to avoid damages during non-working hours.
Use of the hose reel is not permitted in potential explosive environments (ATEX).
