WARNING: BEFORE USE, READ AND UNDERSTAND OPERATOR'S MANUAL. Wear impact-resistant protective
eyewear in work area at all times. This reel must only be mounted to a load bearing structural object such as a
stud, rafter, or floor which can support the combined weight of reel and hose and can withstand pulling forces on
hose when in use. Air hose is designed for use on regulated air compressor systems delivering less than 250 PSI.
DO NOT EXCEED 250 PSI. Be sure to restrain hose as it rewinds—do not allow hose to rewind at full speed.
Never exceed air pressure rating for any air tool. Read and follow all guidelines specified in the air tool owner's
manual. Certain air tools, such as paint spray guns, sanders, grinders, and sandblasting equipment, present
specific dangers and hazards. Consult applicable material safety data sheet for precautions and possible respirator
recommendation.

  • Page 8: Making Adjustments

    MAKING ADJUSTMENTS Adjusting Hose Stopper Position The hose stopper determines the length of hose that remains outside of reel. To adjust stopper position: 1. First pull hose out past the desired position of hose stopper. Lock drum in position. 2. Loosen (but do not remove) both stopper bolts just enough so stopper can slide along hose. 3.
  • Page 9 Adjusting Recoil Tension Hose reel is shipped with spring tension properly set. Be aware that spring tension is calibrated to rewind entire length of air hose. If you are working with only a portion of total air hose length or if you feel hose rewinds too quickly or too slowly, you can easily adjust the tension of the main recoil spring.
  • Page 10 ATTACHING INCOMING AIR For consistent leak-free performance, air inlet is made of solid brass. Brass is a soft metal and extra care should be taken to avoid cross threading. For a tight, leak-free connection, follow all instructions carefully. Option 1 Wrap incoming air hose end with thread sealing tape.
  • Page 11 Replacing Air Inlet O-rings The O-ring seals inside the air inlet assembly wear over time. If leaking around air inlet is observed, O-rings should be replaced. An O-ring replacement kit is shipped with this hose reel. Store in a safe place for future use. For complete parts diagram, see page 6-7, centerfold of book 1.
