Latching - Pull out the desired length of hose. As you are pulling out hose from the reel, listen for a "click". STOP! Don't pull any further! If you keep
pulling out hose (more than 14") after hearing the "click", you will have pulled past the latching zone. Now, allow the hose to go back into the
reel (less than 14") and the latch will drop into the latching position. The reel is now latched!
Retracting - Assuming the latch is engaged in the latching position, pull out hose until you hear a "click" (approx. 14"). STOP!
Don't pull any further! If you pull out more than 3 ft. of hose after hearing the " click", you will have gone a full drum
revolution and back into the latching zone where the reel will once again be latched. Now, allow the hose to retract
back into the reel. The hose reel will continue retracting hose until it is fully retracted. If you decide to re-latch the
reel while you are still retracting hose, simply listen for a click. STOP! Slowly pull out hose until you hear a second
click. STOP! Don't pull any further. Now, slowly allow the hose back into thereel (less than 14") and the latch will
drop into the latching position. The reel is now latched.
SEVEN POSITION LOCKING BRACE
LEVELWIND retractable hose reels can swing freely on bracket or can be
locked in one of seven positions, allowing for specific mounting requirements.
STANDARD BRACKET
1) Remove bracket rod from reel. (SEE FIGURE 5A)
2) Place seven position locking brace over bracket so that bracket rod holes
are aligned. Replace bracket rod so that brace, reel & bracket are
attached. (SEE FIGURE 5B)
3) Rotate bracket so that it is at desired angle & lock into place with
fastener. (SEE FIGURE 5B)

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

GAS LEAK TEST PROCEDURE:
Test oxygen and fuel gas (e.g. Acetylene) lines separately. Ensure all connections from cylinder through to the torch are tight.
1) Close both torch valves.
2) Open oxygen cylinder valve and adjust delivery pressure to 25 psi or more.
3) Close oxygen cylinder valve and observe delivery pressure gauge. If a drop in pressure occurs, re-pressure hose (step 2) and test ALL connections,
including hose to swivel AND swivel body, by brushing with a soapy water solution and looking for the presence of any bubbles.
4) Open oxygen valve at torch and re-close to vent line. Repeat steps 1 to 3 with Fuel gas, with delivery pressure gauge set at 10 psi. Vent fuel gas line.
5) Replace or repair any faulty items immediately and repeat this Leak Test procedure.
TENSION ADJUSTMENT:
This reel is preloaded with spring tension that is set at the factory. If the reel becomes completely un-tensioned, please identify your hose reel model
number referenced in the Factory Preset Tensioning Table to find out how many turns are needed for proper tensioning. If a heavy air tool is attached to
the end of the hose, you may need overcome the weight of this tool. DO NOT EXCEED one full turn past the number of turns listed in the Factory Preset
Tensioning Chart below.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Screw Driver, 3/4 in. Socket Wrench
1) Lay reel on its side. ( SEE FIGURE 7 )
2) Place wrench on hub fitting plate nut. HOLD WRENCH FIRMLY.
3) Unscrew hub. DO NOT REMOVE SIDEPLATE.
4) Turn wrench either ½ turn or no more than one full turn. Turn clock wise
to increase tension. Turn counterclockwise to decrease tension.
5) Replace hub plate screws and tighten. Return reel to mounting bracket.
HOSE REPLACEMENT
To ensure proper performance, please consult the Hose
Replacement Kit table for the appropriate part number
to order. Call 1(800) 645-8258 to order kit.
REPLACEMENT HOSE KITS
1) Pull entire length of hose out of reel. ( SEE FIGURE 8 )
2) While entire length of hose is out of the reel, place long screwdriver ( 3/8" in diameter ) all the way though the the hole
located at the back portion of reel. This eliminates any chance for the reel to retract while replacing hose.
