OPERATION
OPERATION OF THE RATCHET
Unwind the hose, the pawl passes over a toothed sector, generating a characteristic noise. The stop pawl
operates on an area corresponding to 1/3 of a turn of the drum.
In this position, the hose can be released, the pawl is engaged.
To disengage it, pull the hose until it is completely rewound. Never let go of the hose outside the toothed
area. It is important to always hold the hose when rewinding to avoid possible injury or damage to the
connected device or surrounding objects.
Turn off the power supply at the end of the service and when the reel is not used for more than 30
minutes. The reel cannot be used in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX).
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Any maintenance operation shall be carried out by a suitably trained staff, following
carefully the information given in this manual. Ensure that there is no tension in the spring before
starting any operations inside the hose reel.
Before starting any operation in the reel:
1/ turn off the supply of gas.
2/ take out the hose stop and release slowly the hose so that the spring is fully unloaded.
3/ Replace the flexible hose as soon as it shows any sign of wear and tear or of deterioration due to the
different conditions of the labor environment.
4/ Check periodically the correct operation of the hose reel and the absence of any gas losses from the
couplers and the swivel joints. Replace the seal inside the revolving joint in case of losses due to wear
and tear.
5/ Any replacement of hose reel parts has to be done using original spare parts. We advise you to contact
the manufacturer for any possible anomaly and before replacing any part. After every maintenance
operation, put again the eventual supports.
ATTENTION : Risk of explosion! Do not lubricate the swivel joints and the seals for Gas with oil
and grease. Use lubricant (BAM) approved only.
During maintenance operations, never put your hands in the drum when the spring is loaded.
