Installation
For Series 80000, SD, and 9000 reels: A flexible connection
must be used between the reel inlet swivel and the source
of supply. A rigid connection will damage the reel and void
all warranties. For all other series, Reelcraft recommends a flexible
connection between the reel input and the source of supply. Series
80000, SD, and 9000: the swivel union is packed separately in the
reel carton, use teflon tape or pipe sealant to assure a satisfactory seal
when installing swivel. Do not over tighten.

Mounting & Guide Arm Adjustment
The hose reel is equipped for universal mounting so that it can be
mounted on a structurally sound floor, wall, or ceiling; whichever
provides maximum performance. The hose guide arm must be rotated
to a position that allows the hose to feed through the roller brackets
with minimal bending. Replace the fasteners. When rotating guide
arm, the U-bolt must be placed in the proper location, otherwise the
reel might "latch or lock out" during use. Refer to complete version of
online manual for proper U-Bolt locations (not applicable for Series
RT, DP5000, DP7000, or SD).
Lubrication
Hose reel spring and bearings are factory-lubricated and require no
further lubrication.
Install/Replace the Hose
CAUTION: Exercise extreme caution when adding or removing
spring tension. Ensure reel base is fastened down prior to
adjusting tension. Do not move spool while tightening hose or
latch will disengage. Do not let go of the hose until latch mechanism
is engaged.
1. To achieve proper tension, wind spool flange required number of
turns (refer to online Tech Bulletin). Do not over-tighten.
2. Engage hose latching mechanism.
3. Insert hose through roller guide.
4. Connect hose fitting to female outlet. Install hose stop at desired
position.
Spring Tension Adjustments
To adjust spring tension, add or remove wraps of hose from the spool,
one wrap at a time, until desired tension is obtained (refer to safety
cautionary statements). Hose latching mechanism can be removed
for constant tension applications.
Repairs
To avoid damage and/or injury, extensive repairs should only be
performed by the manufacturer's service center. Noncompliance may
void warranty. CAUTION: Remove all spring tension and system
pressure before disassembly process.
