ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT! Mount the unit to a solid surface using appropriate
hardware (sold separately). The entire unit could weigh as much as 35
pounds with a water-filled hose and could fall and cause an injury if not
mounted correctly.
1.
Choose a mounting location near the water source.
a.
The mounting location must be solid and capable of holding the
weight of the hose reel.
b.
The location should be low enough to easily pull the hose out for use.
2.
Place the the mounting bracket against the wall
and mark the wall using the holes as a template.
•
Check if the bracket requires a specific
orientation before marking the wall.
3.
Install the bracket.
a.
Drill holes in the wall at each marked location.
•
Use a hammer drill with masonry drill
bits if the wall is brick, stone or
concrete.
b.
Insert the plastic anchors into the holes.
c.
Place the bracket on the walls and align the holes with the plastic
anchors.
d.
Drive a screw into each plastic anchor until it is solidly held against
the wall. Be careful not use a drill or driver with too much torque, as
it could damage the bracket.
e.
Tug the bracket to make sure it is not loose. Tighten the appropriate
screws if there is still some movement.
4.
Lift the reel and position it so the swivel pins are above the bracket's
receiver openings. Carefully push the reel pins into the openings until the
reel is seated.
a.
Swing the reel from side to side to confirm it moves freely. Remove
the reel from the bracket if it does not move freely and make sure
