General Instructions
7. The male hose fitting should now be on the outside of the drum. Apply teflon
tape or pipe joint compound and conect the hose fitting to the swivel joint and
secure the hose rigid with the hose clamp.
Note: the circlips restrain the hose, when fully extended, from pulling its
fittings out at the swivel joint.
8. Carefully release the locking ratchet and slowly allow the hose to retract into
the reel.
9. Final spring tension adjustment is accomplished by adding wraps of hose
around the drum to increase the tension, or removing wraps of hose to decrease
the tension.
