5.2- Introduction
The hose reel is driven and released by a spring, which can rewind the hose automatically.
A locking device controls the hose length pulled out or rewound.
The reel can be swivelled through 180° to enlarge the range of use.
5.3- Hose use
The reel is supplied with a high quality resistant hose. However, to preserve the qualities of the hose,
make sure to protect the hose from sharp edges, sharp points, rough surfaces, grease, oil, chemical /
corrosive substances, extreme temperatures (heat / frost), direct exposure to sunlight ...
After use and before retracting the hose, please turn off the water supply and remove excess water
from the hose. Then rewind the hose.
In some areas of high temperatures, the sunlight will heat and damage the hose, which will cause the
hose to be difficult to rewind. It is best to retract the hose after each use.
Do not leave the reel outside when temperature is very low. Under this condition, the hose may be less
flexible and difficult to retract.
Do not bring any chemical or substance such as acetone, white spirits, lactic acid etc. into contact with
the hose reel.
Please note the hose of this reel cannot be used for drinkable water.
5.4- How to latch and rewind the hose correctly
This reel is fitted with ratchet device, making it very easy to extend and retract the hose.
While pulling out the hose, you can hear the clicking of the ratchet.
a) To pull out the hose
Grab hose with one hand (wear protective gloves) and pull hose gently out without jerking.
When you pull out the hose you will hear the clicking sound of the ratchet.
Pull hose to your needed length, as soon as you hear the clicking of the ratchet, then released the hose
and the reel will be latched by the ratchet mechanism.
The hose is fitted with a coloured ring that represents the limit not to exceed when pulling out the
hose.
b) To rewind the hose
Grab hose with one hand and pull it gently out for about 25~35cm (depending on model), when
ratchet clicking will not be heard; you can rewind the hose now.
To retract the hose, it is suggested that a minimum of 25% of the hose shall be extended.
