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.
During retraction, always hold the hose and follow the retraction until it is finished.
To avoid hose rewinding too fast, always hold hose firmly (wear protective gloves).
If the hose has twists in it, it is necessary to extend the hose to full length then retract it smoothly and
evenly back onto the reel.
Remark: when fully extended, the hose may need a stronger than usual tug to start retracting.
Note:
When pulling out the hose: grab hose near the ball stop (3). Do NOT pull the terminal.
When rewinding the hose: always hold the hose until the retraction is finished to avoid injury hazards
or damage. If the hose should slip from your hand or if you let go, it could whiplash risking hitting
you or nearby belongings.
When not in use, it is advisable to store your reel indoors in a dry location. Always lock up product
and keep it out of reach of children.
Remark:
If the hose cannot be retracted after using for a certain period of time, this may be caused by the spring
that is fatigued. DO NOT OPEN THE HOSE REEL HOUSING!
The internal spring mechanism is held under load and is dangerous if released. If retraction problem
occurs, please contact your local distributor for advice and assistance
