Page 4: Presentation
Fumes and gas exhaust hose reel 3 PRESENTATION The MAXIREEL hose reel is designed to be installed near the source of fume or CO created by vehicles while running and to be exhausted outside of the facility. A tailipe adaptor or hood at the end of the flexible hose is required for proper source capture of contaminants. The flexible hose can also reach inside of tanks, ship’s hulls or other confined areas where conventional equipment cannot reach in order to facilitate the extraction of polluted air from working areas. Flexible hose mounted on the reel allows extraction of gas-air mixtures to a maximum 1500°F, 815°C (depending on the hose selected). Other special hoses may be supplied as per application. 3.1 Each spring hose reel unit includes: • Bolted reinforced steel frame • Flexible hose inlet connection • Exhaust outlet (to fan or main duct) •... -

Page 7: Inspection Of Goods
Fumes and gas exhaust hose reel WARNING! Installation of equipment must be performed as per local building laws and regulations. Structure must meet proper weight support of arm and equipment. Installation must be performed by a competent and qualified contractor. Structural grade fasteners must be used for holding the hose reel and components to ceiling, trusses or joyces. 7.2 Inspection of goods The MAXIREEL hose reel may be shipped on one (1) skid or attached in pairs. Proceed with a visual inspection upon receiving the material for any damages or missing skid(s). Note 1: If damages are apparent upon receiving the material, indicate so on receiving slip (freight waybill) and confirm by having the truck driver sign the waybill with any discrepancy. AQC takes photos of material prior to shipping. Inspect hose reel appearance when receiving the goods. Report damages to carrier immediately. Failure to do so will void future claims. Note 2 : Certain oversized tailpipe adaptors may be shipped not attached to flexible hoses. Minimal assembly may be required at jobsite. 7.3 Location 1 . The area where the hose reel will be installed should be able to sustain the weight of such along with the accessories, ducting, fan or any optional equipment. 2. Installer should ensure area around the hose reel will be free of obstacles such as beams, lighting fixtures, overhead cranes, etc. 3 . Height of installation for hose reel bracket should not be higher than the actual length of flexible hose. If permitted, nozzle and hose should be hanging about 7' (2.2m) above the floor in order for the user to grab the nozzle and pull on hose. If not permitted, a cable and handle should be installed on the nozzle so user can grab handle to pull down flexible hose when needed. -

7. Start exhaust fan and ensure vacuum is adequate. 8. If flexible is left hanging at "grab" level, ensure it does not become an obstacle to personnel or moving vehicles. 9 . Ensure length of flexible hose is sufficient to reach tailpipe of vehicle to be serviced. 10 . If hose reel is equipped with mechanical damper, ensure it is in the "OPEN" position when hose is uncoiled from reel. 10.1 Start up (Motorized hose reel with wall mount, pendant or wireless remote controls) Note 1: AQC adjusts the maximum UP/DOWN limit switches when hose is supplied by factory.

To reduce risk of severe injury or matrial damages, it is advised to have two (2) technicians working on the parameters of limit switches. One (1) technician to operate the UP/DOWN switches (wall mounted or pendant) and one (1) to set the limit switches. Hose reel is factory set for a safe and proper use of hose length contained on hose drum. To readjust or modify the limit switches, refer to step by step procedure listed below. 1 . Remove tube motor protective cap covering the UP/DOWN limit switch buttons. Figure 7 Figure 8 Location to the protective cap is between the side round disk (figure 7) and side support bracket (figure 8). The use of a long stem flat head screwdriver could be needed. 2. Both buttons (yellow for maximum DOWN and white for maximum UP hose positions) underneath the protective cap should be "popped up". This determines the limit switches were set and locked.

Page 14: Adjustment & Functionality
Fumes and gas exhaust hose reel 12 ADJUSTMENT & FUNCTIONALITY For motorized reels equipped with radio signal controls ONLY. Note on wireless transmitters: Each hose reel has his assigned remote transmitter pre-set at the factory. UP/DOWN limits are also pre-set at the factory. Hose reel is factory set for a safe and proper use of hose length contained on hose drum. To readjust or modify the limit switches, refer to step by step procedure listed below. Regular operation of the wireless remote is performed from the ground but for UP/DOWN setting results, it is best to have the transmitter no more than 6" (1,8 meter) from the hose reel and aimed at the hose reel. To assign a new or a replacement transmitter with a definite hose reel: 1 . Push the UP and DOWN buttons on the transmitter simultaneously and release the buttons after the hose reels jogs briefly up and down indicating the transmitter is now linked to the hose reel tube motor integrated receiver. PUSH UP PUSH DOWN 2 . Press the STOP/MY and UP or DOWN buttons simultaneously depending on which setting you need to do first. When the flexible hose has reached the desired maximum UP or DOWN position, release pressing the buttons. Additional minute adjustments may be performed by pressing the DOWN or UP position that was selected to start with. 3. Proceed with UP or DOWN other settings using the same procedure as in step 2 mentioned above. 4 . Press the programming button on the back of the transmitter to confirm and lock settings. -
