Quick hints and tips
• If the hose will not rewind, try the following;
Turn off the tap and let the water out of the hose by
opening the hose nozzle/gun.
Pull all the hose out in a straight line. 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.)
• When mounting the reel, ensure that nothing
obstructs the reel from swinging freely through
180°.
• It is critical to use a 7mm drill when drilling holes to
mount the reel.
• Ensure the wall bracket is mounted vertically using a
spirit level.
• Check that the reel is locked onto the bracket before
turning on water supply.
• The hose will not rewind unless it is pulled a short
distance (15 to 30cm) away from the reel and then
walked back towards the reel.
• Use the lock on the side of the reel to lock the hose
when not in use.
• Dip the end of the hose into a bowl of hot water for
30s to make it easier to fit to the hose connectors.
Assembly and installation
of the Auto Reel
SELECT A SUITABLE POSITION FOR
INSTALLATION
Fig.1
• The reel is designed for external use and is not
suitable for use with indoor taps, unless used with
an appropriate Indoor Tap Connector (Part No's;
2159, 2176, 2177, 2274, which are not supplied)
• The reel should be able to swing through 180°. Allow
50cm of clearance on both sides of the wall bracket.
(See Fig.1)
• If the hose is to be used around corners, the wall
bracket should be mounted at least 1.60m from the
corner, and a hose guide should be used (part no;
2392, which is not supplied.)
MOUNT THE WALL BRACKET
Fig.2
• Remove the wall bracket (Contents B) from the reel
by gently pulling the lower part of the bracket away
from the Autoreel and allowing it to drop down
(Fig.2a).
The wall bracket is now ready for mounting.
• Important: Ensure that the wall bracket is vertical
(with the storage pocket at the top) using a
spirit level, and that the correct size holes (7mm
diameter and 50mm deep) are drilled (Fig.2b and
template on the carton).
• Use the four wall plugs and screws supplied
(Contents F). The plugs and screws supplied are
designed for use on standard brick and concrete
walls. To fix the bracket to any other surface, you
should use screws and plugs appropriate for that
surface.
CONNECT THE FEEDER HOSE AND
FITTINGS
If the feeder hose supplied is too short to reach your
tap, replace it with a good quality 12.5mm (½") hose.
Fig.3 – Attaching the Feeder Hose:
• Lay the reel on a soft surface with side A uppermost
and remove the side disc by twisting the disc
anticlockwise and lifting off (Fig.3a). Then remove
the feeder hose.
• Two posidrive screws hold the plate on the hose
connector in place. Remove these two screws
(Fig.3b).
NEVER attempt to remove the other two black
security screws!
• Remove the hose connector. Unscrew the hose nut
from the hose connector and slide it onto the hose.
• Push the end of the hose into the inlet teeth and
tighten the nut (Fig.3c). Ensure that the hose is
pushed all the way into the connector.
• Replace the hose connector into the Autoreel and
replace the two screws (Fig.3d).
• Re-fit the side disc (Fig.3e).
Attach the hose end connector (Contents D) to the
free end of the feeder hose. Attach the water stop
connector
(Contents E) to the watering hose and connect the
nozzle/gun supplied to the water stop connector
(Contents G) (Fig.3f).
HINT: Dip the end of the hose into a bowl of hot
water for 30s to make it easier to fit to the hose
connectors.
INSTALLING THE REEL
• 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).
• Attach the threaded tap connector (Contents C) 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 long shackle padlock (not supplied) may be
fitted to the reel when left unattended on the wall
(Fig.6a).
• There are two accessory park points at the top and
bottom of the bracket for stowage of hose end
accessories
(Fig.7a and Fig.7c).
• There is also a storage pocket at the top of the
bracket for storage of spare connectors etc (Fig.7b).
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.9
• 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.9a). To unlock, turn the dial so that it
points towards the (padlock open) symbol (Fig.9b).
• For added security always lock the reel when
unattended.
Safety
• 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. DANGER: This product contains a pre-
tensioned spring.
Remove the ball stop 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 and depressurise the hose when not
in use.
To prevent damage being caused to your Auto Reel
over the winter months it is advisable that the excess
water be dispelled from the hosepipe.
This can be done by completing the following steps:
1. Disconnect the feeder hose from the tap
2. Place the end of the feeder hose on the ground
3. Pull out all of the hose ensuring the hose end
connection is 'closed' and then completely retract it
4. Excess water will dispel from the feeder hose
5. Repeat step 3 several times
6. Connect the end of the feeder hose to the non-drip
park point (Fig.8).
By dispelling the excess water from your Auto Reel, it
will not only become lighter to transport inside during
winter, but will reduce the risk of water freezing inside
the reel.
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 (Fig.3c).
• Tighten the nut on the hose end connector.
• Tighten the nut on the water stop connector.
Hose replacement
• If the watering hose becomes damaged, under
no circumstances should you attempt to repair it.
Contact Hozelock consumer services for assistance.
Auto Reel Mechanism
