INSTALLING THE REEL
• Release the locking clasp on the reel. (Fig.2a).
• Mount the reel onto the bracket by tipping the reel
backwards and placing the top bracket socket of the
reel onto the bracket (Fig.4a).
• Allow the Autoreel to fall onto the bottom bracket
(Fig.4b).
• Lock in place using the locking clasp (Fig.4c).
Ensure that the clips are snapped into place.
• Attach the threaded tap connector (Contents D) to
your tap and connect the feeder hose to it via the
hose end connector (Fig.5).
• Test the assembly to ensure the reel swings freely
through 180°. Turn the tap on and run the water
through the reel before using it for the first time.
Check for leaks and re-tighten hose connections if
necessary.
• A padlock (not supplied) may be fitted to the reel
when left unattended on the wall (fig.6a).
• There is an accessory park point at the bottom of the
bracket for stowage of hose end accessories (fig.6b).
USING THE REEL
• To pull out the hose, take hold of the hose end and
walk away from the reel in any direction.
• The reel has an automatic latch to hold the hose in
place for use at any required length. The hose may
be placed on the ground and will not rewind.
• If more hose is required, pull out as necessary.
• To rewind the hose gently pull the hose between
15 to 30cm away from the reel to release the locking
mechanism. Walk back towards the reel. Always hold
the hose end whilst it rewinds. If you are struggling
to do this try;
Turn off the tap and let the water out of the hose by
opening the hose nozzle/gun.
Walk back to the reel with the end of the hose and
trigger the rewind mechanism by taking hold of the
hose near to the reel, and gently pull the hose about
15 to 30cm to release the latch.
(Ensure that nothing is obstructing the hose whilst
the rewind procedure is active.)
IMPORTANT: THE HOSE END MUST BE WALKED
BACK TO THE REEL.
USING THE SAFETY LOCK
Fig 7.
• Operate the safety lock by using the dial on the side
of the reel.
• The safety lock has two functions:
To stop the hose being pulled out when fully
re-wound
To stop accidental rewind while the hose is in use.
• To lock, turn the dial towards the (padlock closed)
symbol (Fig.7a). To unlock, turn the dial so that it
points towards the (padlock open) symbol (Fig.7b).
• For added security always lock the reel when
unattended.
Warning
Do not operate the safety lock while the reel is
turning.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent damage or injury:
DO NOT:
Let go of the hose while rewinding.
Always walk back to the reel holding the hose.
Place fingers or objects in the hose aperture of the
reel during operation.
Attempt to remove the screws from any part of
the product.
Remove the grey ball from the watering hose.
DO:
Remove the reel from the wall in winter to prevent
frost damage.
Keep the floor/ground below the reel as clear as
possible from water to minimise any risk of
slipping.
Turn the tap off when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Activating the Auto-Rewind
• The hose must be pulled out from the reel between
15cm to 30cm, any less or more and the hose
will not auto-rewind. The easiest way to trigger the
auto-rewind is by gently pulling the hose at the reel.
Leaks
• Remove the side disc and tighten the nut connecting
the hose to the reel
• Tighten the nut on the hose end connector
• Tighten the nut on the water stop connector
