other end to OxyAcetylene or Oxy-Fuel source (SEE FIGURE 2 ). Make
surethat all connections are dry.

uses right handed threaded connections. Red Acetylene hose uses left hand threaded connections.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LEVELWIND retractable hose reels can operate in FREERUN or can be latched every 3 ft. by switching to the LATCHING
ZONE. Simply turn the mode switch to desired position! ( SEE FIGURE 3 ). THE "Latching Zone": LEVELWIND reels have a
single latching zone. The reel can be latched for every drum revolution (approx. 3 feet of hose). There are audible clicking sounds
as the spring loaded latch passes over the latching zone. The latching zone flips the latch so that the latch goes into or
by-passes the latching position. Pulling hose straight out off the reel "flips the latch" so it can go into the latching position.
Retracting the hose into the reel keeps the latch "flipped" so that the latch by-passes thelatching position.
