TSB 2013.07.005: Installing Hose or Cable On A Hannay Spring Retractable Reel
3.2 REEL PRE-TENSION
You are adding some tension to the reel with this
step; be careful not to let go of the disc edge until you
have added the proper number of pre-tension turns,
and have secured the reel from unwinding by making
sure the locking pawl latch finds a tooth on the ratchet
wheel to prevent movement. With the hose or cable
end retained on the reel, turn the discs in the unwind
direction (opposite direction of rotation used to install the
hose). On your final pre-tensioning turn, you will need to
pass the hose or cable through the provided utility roller
assembly.
3.2.a PRE-TENSION REDUCTION
In the previous step, the spring tension has been set
to its maximum level. If you find the spring tension is
greater than required or desired to retract the hose, you
can decrease the tension by removing one or more of
the tensioning turns you added. Grab hold of the disc
edges and carefully allow the reel to unwind one full
revolution. Then re-lock the reel and once again pass
the hose or cable through the roller assembly (Figure 4)

4. ATTACH BALL STOP TO HOSE OR CABLE
Draw the hose or cable through the rollers to the point
where the ball stop should be attached. Note: After
ball stop is positioned, make sure that when the stop
is resting against the rollers, the locking pawl latch is
disengaged from the ratchet wheel. Now take the two
halves of the ball stop and join them together over the
hose or cable. Fasten ball stop with provided fasteners
(Figure 5).

5. MAKE FINAL CONNECTIONS
You are now ready to make your hose or cable
connection to the inlet swivel joint or junction box on the
side of the reel (Figure 6).
NOTICE: A flexible connector must be
used between the inlet pipe and the inlet
swivel joint on the reel or the warranty
will be void.
CAUTION: Hose or cable end must be
walked back to the reel on all spring reels
when rewinding. If allowed to rewind
unattended, personal injury or damage to
reel could occur.
