SAFETY

Personal injury and/or equipment damage may result if proper safety precautions are not observed.
• Ensure that reel is properly installed before connecting input and
output hoses.
• Bleed fluid/gas pressure from system before servicing reel.
• Before connecting reel to supply line, ensure that pressure does not
exceed maximum working pressure rating of reel.
• Remember, even low pressure is very dangerous and can cause
personal injury or death.
• Be aware of machinery and personnel in work area.
• If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, remove system pressure
immediately.

ADJUSTMENTS

Warning: Use extreme caution; reel under tension. Avoid releasing
latch mechanism. If necessary, adjust spring tension on reel by adding
or removing wraps of hose from spool, one wrap at a time, until desired
tension is obtained. Add wraps to increase tension. Remove wraps to
decrease tension.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

User servicing of the reel is limited to replacing input/output hoses
only. Refer all other repairs to an authorized service person or directly to
Reelcraft. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage and may void the warranty. Warning: Rewind hose on reel, then
bleed pressure from system before performing the following procedures.

IMPORTANT
Read this manual carefully before installing, operating
or servicing equipment.
• A high tension spring assembly is contained within the reel. Exercise
extreme caution.
• Pull hose from reel by grasping the hose itself.
• Ensure that reel, hose, and equipment being serviced are properly
grounded. Use an ohmmeter to check ground continuity.
• If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove system pressure
immediately. Do not pull or jerk on hose!
• Treat and respect the hose reel as any other piece of machinery,
observing all common safety practices.
1. Replace hoses in accordance with procedures given in "Installation
Instructions" section of this manual.
Caution: When replacing drive spring, hold the center of the spring down
as the hub is pulled out. If the center is allowed to raise up, the spring
may escape from it's container with enough force to cause injuries.
2. All mating moving parts are to be lubricated with Perma Bond or
Loctite anti-seize compound.
When disposing of old or broken spring assemblies, the coils should
be welded or wired together to prevent possible injury to scrap handling
personnel.
