back holes onto surface. Use a leveling device to ensure that the
bracket will be level once fastened. Fasten brackets to surface with
screws ( screws are not included ).
2) Remove Bracket Rod (A) from Bracket (B) ( SEE FIGURE 1 )
3) Place reel into bracket making sure the reel hole is aligned with
bracket end holes.
4) Insert Bracket Rod through the aligned holes of Reel and Bracket.
5) Connect female end of lead-in hose to inlet connection on reel.
Connect male end to air or water source ( SEE FIGURE 2 ).
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 the latching position.
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 the reel (less than 14") and the latch will drop into the latching position. The reel is now latched.
FREERUN MODE: The hose does not latch in this mode. Hose will automatically retract back into reel. The Hose stopper
position may be adjusted to desired length for application (SEE FIGURE 4) CAUTION! Do not release the end of the hose
when rewinding as personal injury or damage could result!
