Choosing a location
This reel is best installed close to a source of water.
For a large area, please place it in the center of the work area and then you can extend the
hose to the most convenient point in this area.
The hose reel must be mounted on a strong surface, due to product's weight when full of
water and the pulling action during use.
We recommend to mount the bracket on a wall (concrete or brick) or timber (solid wood).
There are many alternative positions in which the unit can be placed.
The key point is subject to what is convenient for the user.
The most appropriate position is to mount the bracket on a wall or post horizontally, at
approximately 1~1.25m above ground level.
The mounting bracket has 3 holes, for each there is a corresponding screw.
