Product Usage Instructions

Before installing, operating or servicing the hose reel, it is important to read the manual carefully and observe proper safety precautions to avoid personal injury and/or equipment damage.

SAFETY
Personal injury and/or equipment damage may result if proper safety precautions are not observed.

• Ensure that reel is properly installed before connecting input and output hoses.
• Bleed fluid/gas pressure from system before servicing reel.
• Before connecting reel to supply line, ensure that pressure does not exceed maximum working pressure rating of reel.
• Remember, even low pressure is very dangerous and can cause personal injury or death.
• Be aware of machinery and personnel in work area.
• If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, remove system pressure immediately.
• A high tension spring assembly is contained within the reel. Exercise extreme caution.
• Pull hose from reel by grasping the hose itself, not the control valve.
• Ensure that reel, hose, and equipment being serviced are properly grounded. Use an ohmmeter to check ground continuity.
• If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove system pressure immediately. Do not pull or jerk on hose!
• Treat and respect the hose reel as any other piece of machinery, observing all common safety practices.

Installation Instructions

MOUNTING
Caution: Unless reel was specified differently when ordering, maximum installation height is 16 feet. Do not exceed this distance.

1. Unpack and inspect the reel for damage. Turn it by hand to check for smooth operation and verify that all parts are included.
2. Configure the reel for top, side, or bottom-wind hose dispensing by removing the nuts securing the guide arm bracket. Position the guide arm bracket to the desired location and replace the nuts. Ensure that the U-bolt is placed in the proper location to prevent the reel from latching out during use.
3. Position the reel on the floor, wall, or ceiling and secure it into place using four customer-supplied bolts.
   Caution: When changing guide arm positions, the U-bolt must be placed in the proper location as instructed in figure A below. The reel can “latch out” during use if this instruction is not adhered to.

Input Hose Installation
Ensure that the supply line pressure does not exceed the maximum working pressure rating of the reel. Apply pipe thread sealant to all threads and use a flexible hose connection at the input. Follow these steps to install the input hose:

1. Connect the supply line hose to the main shaft input as indicated in the illustration.

Output Hose Installation
Use extreme caution while installing the output hoses as the reel is under tension. Avoid releasing the latch mechanism and apply pipe thread sealant to all threads. Follow these steps to install the output hose:

1. Manually turn the sheave until the spring is tight, back off 3 turns, and then latch.
2. Route the output hose(s) through the guide arm bracket, U-bolts, and cutout in spool as indicated in the illustration.
3. Connect output hose(s) to swivel as indicated in the illustration.
4. Tighten U-bolts.
5. Charge hose(s). Momentarily open control valve to purge hose(s) of gases. When fluid appears at control valve, close valve. With hose(s) fully charged, release latch and wind output hose(s) onto reel.

Adjustments
Warning: Use extreme caution; reel under tension. Avoid releasing latch mechanism. If necessary, adjust spring tension on reel by adding or removing wraps of hose from spool, one wrap at a time, until desired tension is obtained. Add wraps to increase tension. Remove wraps to decrease tension.
Use extreme caution while making adjustments to the reel tension as it is under tension. Avoid releasing the latch mechanism. Follow these steps to adjust the spring tension on the reel:

1. If necessary, adjust spring tension on reel by adding or removing wraps of hose from spool, one wrap at a time, until desired tension is obtained.
2. Add wraps to increase tension or remove wraps to decrease tension.

Service Instructions
User servicing of the reel is limited to replacing input/output hoses only. Refer all other repairs to an authorized service person or directly to Reelcraft. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or equipment damage and may void the warranty. Before performing service procedures, rewind the hose on the reel and bleed pressure from the system.
Warning: Rewind hose on reel, then bleed pressure from system before performing the following procedures.

1. Replace hoses in accordance with procedures given in the “Installation Instructions” section of this manual.
   Caution: When replacing drive spring, hold the center of the spring down as the hub is pulled out. If the center is allowed to raise up, the spring may escape from it’s container with enough force to cause injuries.
   When disposing of old or broken spring assemblies, the coils should be welded or wired together to prevent possible injury to scrap handling personnel.
2. All mating moving parts are to be lubricated with Perma Bond or Loctite anti-seize compound.
