Installation
10. Flush system.
To avoid contaminating the fluid with line-scale,
chips or other installation debris, before installing
meter or dispense valve to end of hose, flush the
equipment with a compatible solvent such as Stod-
dard solvent or mineral spirits.
a. Secure the end of the hose in a waste bucket.
b. Blow out entire lubricant supply line with air.
c. Pump solvent through line until fluid runs clear
and is debris free.
Increasing Spring Tension
Single Pedestal HP & HR Model Hose Reels
• The hose reel spring is not a serviceable part. Do
not attempt to replace or service the hose reel
spring.
• The spring is always under great tension and could
be propelled with enough force to cause serious
injury.
• Never allow reel to spin freely. Doing so causes the
hose reel to spin out of control, which could cause
serious injury if you are hit by the hose valve or
other moving parts.
• Reel must be bolted securely in place when mak-
ing adjustments.

d. Pump lubricant through line until all solvent is
flushed out.
11. Position hose stop so hose extends far enough for
all operators to reach dispensing valve.
12. Insert screws through hose stop and tighten nuts to
securely hold hose stop in place.
13. Install meter or dispense valve to end of hose follow-
ing instructions provided with the dispense equip-
ment. (NOTE: If installing an enclosure around hose
reel, install the enclosure before installing dispense
valve or meter to hose end.)
14. Adjust spring tension, page 16.
1. Pull out hose, 1 to 2 turns and engage latch.
2. Pull hose back through hose rollers.
3. Wrap a loop of hose onto the reel flange.
4. Check the spring tension; the hose must pull out
fully and retract fully. Wrap more loops, one at a
time around the reel flange until the spring has the
desired tension.
NOTE: Do not put so many loops onto the reel that the
spring winds up tightly before the hose is fully extended.
Remove loops to decrease tension.
