Connecting The Compressed Air Supply; Operation; Unrolling The Hose; Rolling The Hose - TOOLCRAFT TC-AHR 9 Notice D'emploi

• Use the washers to cover the elongated holes on the mounting bracket. This helps to spread the force from the
screws over a sufficiently large area.
• The screws, spring washers and nuts required to mount the hose reel are included with the product. Purchase
suitable screws (e.g. machine or self-tapping screws) before mounting the product on metal surfaces. Use screws
with a sufficient length and a diameter of least 8 mm (M8). For metal surfaces (normally structural steel), use
machine screws with a length of approximately 25 mm. When placing screws into clearance holes, ensure that the
screw protrudes enough to allow the nut to be screwed onto the thread. If the nut is only screwed to a few threads
it may become loose.
• Hang the compressed air hose reel on the mounting bracket and ensure that it clicks into place on the two mounting
bolts (6). If necessary, ask someone to help you lift the hose reel.
• Secure the mounting bolts in place by tightening the locking screws with a suitable screwdriver.
b) Connecting the compressed air supply
• Once you have mounted the product, connect the compressed air feeder hose (2) to a suitably sized source of
compressed air.
• Ensure that there is a shut-off valve so that the supply of compressed air can be turned off when you are not using
the product, or when you carry out maintenance work.
• Use a suitable sealing material (e.g. PTFE tape) to seal the threads on the connector to the hose.

10. Operation

a) Unrolling the hose
• Unroll the hose to the desired length and then allow it to move backwards slightly until it clicks into place.
• If it does not click into place, unroll the hose a bit more and try again. Repeat this step until the hose is in the desired
position.
Do not continue to pull on the hose when it has been fully unrolled, otherwise the hose may come off the
hose drum and cause injuries.
b) Rolling the hose
• For best results, roll the hose when it is in an unpressurised state.
• Pull the hose slightly until it clicks out of place. Slowly guide the hose onto the hose drum until it is fully rolled.
Do not let go of the hose when it is rolling onto the hose drum, otherwise it may spring back quickly and
cause injuries or damage to property. Always hold the hose tightly and guide it carefully onto the hose drum.
