Storage Bin
IMPORTANT USE INSTRUCTIONS
1) If freezing may occur, remove hose from faucet and drain water out of hose and reel. Freezing of trapped water may cause damage to reel, hose
or pipes.
2) Store indoors during colder months. Check in-tube and out-tube connections prior to first use each spring.
3) When winding your hose after use, drain as much water out of the hose as possible. This will prevent extra stress on the hose reel (from the
weight of the water) that could cause permanent damage.
4) Avoid spraying water inside the hose reel. Be sure all hose connections are tightly secured. If the battery gets wet, dry it off as quickly as pos-
sible.
5) It is best for this unit to be stored and used in a shady area.
6) For best use, Suncast recommends using 5/8 rubber/vinyl hose. Heavier hose will cause the motor to run harder and create the need for more
frequent recharging.
7) The lid must be closed for the motor to run.
8) Do not use in extreme temperatures.
9) Wear shoes while operating.
10) Use only with supplied battery or equivalent.
CIRCUIT BREAKER FEATURE
This hose reel is protected from overloading on the motor by a circuit breaker. If the loading on the unit causes too much current to draw on the
motor, a circuit breaker will trip to protect the motor, wiring, switches and battery from damage.
What might cause overloading on the motor?
Hose getting caught in landscaping while rewinding back into the reel
Extremely heavy hose, especially if filled with water
A quick spike in power consumption
A prolonged increase in power use
If the circuit breaker trips during use, the unit will shut off for about 30 seconds. After this short waiting period, the unit will reset itself and you
may begin normal use.
In warmer temperatures, the 30 second delay may be increased slightly. In cooler temperatures, the unit will reset slightly quicker.
