DESCRIPTION OF THE UNIT

1. Fixing bracket for wall mounting
2. Reel
3. Hose stop
4. Hose
5. Quick coupling
6. Quick coupling (nipple)
7. Connecting hose (air inlet)

INSTALLATION

After removing the unit from the packaging and checking its integrity, make sure that all the components listed in the "package contents" are present inside the packaging.
Ensure that it is possible to install the reel sufficiently close to the compressed air source so that the connecting hose (7) can be easily connected to the source.

• Use a pencil to mark the points where holes are to be drilled for fastening.
  
• Drill two holes in the wall (fig. 3) with the same diameter as the plugs supplied.
  
• Drive the anchors of the expansion plugs into the holes in the wall.
  
• Put the retaining bracket (1) at the threads of the dowels, then hang the unit, taking care to thread the slots of the reel bracket over the threads.
• Gently let the reel downwards, so that both threads fit into the narrow slot.
• Mount one washer and one nut on each thread and tighten the nuts.

Ensure that the fixing bracket (1) is securely fixed to the wall.

USE

Ensure that the compressed air system is not under pressure when connecting the unit.

• Connect the quick coupling (6) of the connecting hose (7) to the outlet of the compressed air source.
• Grasp the hose retainer (3).
• Pull the hose (4) and pull it out as far as necessary, holding it firmly. The rewind mechanism is locked (like a rolling shutter), so the hose does not return automatically unless it is pulled out again. For each metre of hose there are 2-3 clamping points. Do not pull the hose out beyond the safety mark stamped on the hose.
• At the end of use, switch off the compressed air source and release the pressure. Gently pull the hose (4) and let the mechanism rewind it.
• Accompany the hose (4) during rewinding. Ensure that the hose does not twist or snag while being rewound.
• The hose must not be under pressure when being rewound or during use.

CLEANING

• Clean the reel with a well-wrung cloth or brush. Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents, as these could damage the hose (4) and the hose reel (2).
• Avoid spraying water on or inside the reel.
• Keep the reel hose clean to allow proper sliding.

SAFETY WARNINGS

• DO NEVER exceed the stated maximum operating pressures.
• ALWAYS discharge the air pressure before carrying out the fixing (on the wall), cleaning or reassembly of the unit.
• The reel must be fixed to a stable wall, capable of supporting both weight and load.
• Take care of the hose, preventing it from becoming trapped between obstacles and/or surrounding objects.
• Protect the hose from oil, acids, sharp edges and high temperatures.
• At the end of each use, rewind the hose completely, putting it in its housing; this way the reel will be protected of unnecessary and prolonged tension.

In the event that the hose (4) is damaged, do not use the unit and dispose of it in accordance with current regulations.
