6 If hose stopper adjustment is required, pull hose from reel and allow to latch at
desired length. Loosen stopper bolts and slide stopper to a position close to the hose
guide. Tighten stopper bolts, and unlatch the reel.
Installation of Hose
1 Securely stabilize the reel.
2 Facing the swivel fitting side of reel: Turn the drum clockwise, by hand, until the
rewind spring is tight, and drum has latched. As an extra precaution while installing
new hose, secure drum in the latched position.
3 Insert end of the hose through guide roller bracket, and feed through the opening in
the drum flange.
4 Use Teflon tape or pipe sealant on hose fitting threads, screw fitting into swivel and
tighten. Note: To avoid damage to the swivel, use a wrench to support the swivel
fitting while tightening the hose.
5 Attach hose stopper on the other end of hose, near the outlet fitting.
6 Carefully release drum latch, and slowly allow hose to wind onto the reel.
Note: Final spring tension adjustment is accomplished by adding wraps of hose around
the drum (to increase tension) or taking off wraps of hose (to decrease tension). Refer
to: Adjustment of Spring Tension.

Oper ation
1 Check reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out the hose. A "clicking" noise
will be heard every half revolution of the drum.
2 To latch the reel, pull out the hose and allow it to retract after hearing the first second
or third " click".
3. To unlatch, slowly pull out the hose until the "clicking" noise stops, then let
the hose
retract until the hose stop rests against the hose guide. Note: To avoid damage
to the reel, always hold on to the hose while it is rewinding.
3 Periodically check the hose condition for wear or damage, and check the swivel
fitting for leakage. Replace any worn, damaged, or leaking parts.
Adjustment of Spring Tension
1 Pull out approximately 6ft or 2m of hose and allow the drum to latch.
