General Instructions
TENSION ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION: Always leave at least 1-2 turns between full extension and when the
spring is wound tight. If entire hose cannot be pulled out, decrease tension until
full extension is possible. Failure to test for adequate spring revolutions can
cause damage to reel. Hazards or unsafe practices may result in minor personal
injury or product or property damage.
• Reels shipped with hose are
pre-tensioned at factory. Reels
shipped without hose are pre-
tensioned after installing hose,
but before making fi nal hose
or inlet connections.
• (Fig. 8) To pre-tension hose
reel, remove hose stop
(5mm nut) and pull hose out to
allow one full wrap. Lockout drum from turning by engaging ratchet (fi g.6) and loop
hose back on drum. Repeat until desired tension is achieved. After tension is set,
pull out hose. If full hose extension is not possible, remove pre-tension turns as
needed by reversing process. Reinstall hose stop.
Service
CAUTION: Remove all tension before servicing. Hazards or unsafe practices may
result in minor personal injury, product or property damage.
CAUTION: Do not utilize chemicals in the hose &/or the reel. Chemicals can cause
premature failure of the hose &/or the seals.
WARNING: Before performing any service, always disconnect and lock out
compressed air or fl uid, and remove all spring tension. Hazards or unsafe
practices could result in severe personal injury or death.
HOSE INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT
• Remove all tension from reel (see Tension Adjustment). Remove hose
stop (5mm nut), unwind hose on reel, remove strain-relief to
drum (8mm nut) and disconnect hose from swivel riser. Feed new hose
through roller guide and to swivel riser. Connect hose to swivel (use
Tefl on tape or thread sealant), install drum mounted strain relief clamp,
wind onto drum assembly, re-tension reel and install hose stop.
