Read and understand entire manual before assembling or using hose reel. Failure to follow
instructions or warni ngs could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
Safety Rules
DO NOT EXCEED 300 PSI incoming air pressure (from compressor)
Wear impact-resistant eye protection that meets ANSI Spec.Z87.1 in work area at all times.
Do not release hose when rewinding. Hold hose end and allow hose to rewind slowly.
Never allow children to use hose reel. Keep children clear of work area at all times.
Warning
Do not over tighten reel. This may permanently damage the spring in the winding mechanism. Ideally, the
reel should be adjusted to wind up only as far as the desired height needed to reach the hose stop.
Exercise care when handling the hose reel during normal operation. This hose reel has a rotating spool
powered by springs under tension.
Mounting hardware and fasteners should be installed to maintain tightness under vibration and checked
periodically to ensure tightness.
Overhead installation mountings should be such that the reel is not supported by bolts in tension. A safety
chain or cable is strongly recommended to minimize damage and/or possible injury in the event of
mounting failure.
Installing Hose Reel
Note: Due to the infinite ways one would mount this reel, the mounting hardware is not included and must
be purchased separately. Decide first where reel will be mounted before purchasing hardware. Different
mounting positions require different types of hardware.
Reel can be mounted on the floor, ceiling, or wall. When choosing a location, remember that you can only
mount reel to a load-bearing structural member capable of supporting combined weight of reel, hose, and
forces caused by pulling or maneuvering hose. Generally, mounting reel near your air compressor is best
since you can connect the two with a shorter, less expensive length of hose. Also, air compressor controls
will be nearby for convenient adjusting.
Once you have located a mounting spot, consult the “Typical Mounting Positions” chart below and
choose the diagram that most closely matches your mounting position. If necessary, adjust guide arm
position to match diagram.
