INSTALLATION

The hose reel may be mounted
to a wall, floor, or ceiling as
required. Ensure the mounting
hardware and the mounting
position is of sufficient strength
to support the hose and reel,
plus the force required to
extend the hose.

Choose a suitable mounting
position close enough to the air
compressor that the two items
can be connected together
using a shorter length of hose
and from where the air compressor can be conveniently adjusted.

Mount the reel using four holding down bolts with washers (supplied) and
secured through slots in the mounting bracket. Use washers on the mounting
bolts to help bear the weight of the reel.

TYPICAL MOUNTING POSITIONS

CONNECTING THE HOSE

After the reel is secured in position, attach the air hose coming from the
compressor. Wrap the threads of the male connector on the incoming hose
with PTFE tape or thread sealant and connect to the air inlet valve on the side
of the hose reel. Again using PTFE tape when connecting the hose to any air
powered tools being used.

Ensure air connections are properly sealed using PTFE tape or pipe sealant.

ADJUSTING THE GUIDE ARM

Pull out a metre of hose and allow
the reel to lock in position.

Remove the four bolts connecting
the guide arm to the support post.

Rotate the guide arm in 90o
increments to the desired position.
Replace the four bolts and tighten.

ADJUSTING THE HOSE STOPPER

The hose stopper determines the
length of hose that remains outside
the reel. To adjust, pull the hose out
past the desired position of the hose
stopper and latch the reel. Loosen
both stopper screws and move the
stopper to the required position.
Tighten the stopper screws.

OPERATION & USE

Check the hose reel for correct operation as follows:

Gently pull out the hose - a series of clicks will be heard every half revolution of
the drum.

When a click is heard, release the hose. It should be held by the latch.
Continue to pull out the hose, and after a series of clicks, at various lengths,
release it to check the operation of the latch.

To release the latch, give the hose a brief pull, and allow the hose to retract
under control until the stopper rests on the hose guide. DO NOT suddenly let
go of the hose. If the hose becomes twisted, pull out a long length of hose
before retracting so as to smooth out the hose.

When not in use, avoid leaving the hose reel exposed to very low
temperatures which will make the hose less flexible and difficult to retract.

Avoid contact with chemicals and solvents such as acetone, white spirit etc.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS, BE
SURE TO TURN OFF THE AIR SUPPLY TO THE HOSE REEL AND VENT ANY
PRESSURE IN THE AIR LINE.

Periodically, check the hose for wear and damage and for leakage using
soapy water. Any damage or leaks should be repaired before further use. If
the hose becomes very dirty, clean it with soapy water before retracting it into
the reel.

Where possible, store the reel and hose in a sheltered position out of direct
sunlight.

ADJUSTING THE RECOIL TENSION

1. Disconnect the incoming air supply.

2. Pull out about 2 feet of hose and latch the reel.

3. Remove the hose stopper.

4. While firmly holding onto the edge of the reel drum, unlatches the reel and
carefully allow the drum to slowly re-wind, drawing the hose end back
through the guide arm roller assembly and onto the reel. Latch the reel in
position.

• To increase tension: Unlatch the reel and turn clockwise (as viewed

from the air inlet side).

• To decrease tension: Unlatch the reel and rotate slowly

counterclockwise (as viewed from the air inlet side).

5. Once the desire spring tension is reached, latch the reel in position, feed
the hose end through the roller assembly in the guide arm and re-attach
the hose stopper.

6. Re-connect the air supply.

REPLACING THE HOSE

1. Secure and stabilise the hose reel. The hose can normally be replaced with
the reel still mounted.

2. Disconnect the incoming air supply.

3. Pull out the entire length of hose and lock the reel. Ensure it is securely
locked in place.

inlet end of the hose from the air inlet valve.

5. Pull the inlet end hose through the slot in the drum and guide rollers,
removing the old hose completely

6. Remove the spring hose guard, hose clamp and hose stopper from the old
hose. Fit these parts onto the new hose in identical positions.

7. Feed the inlet end of the hose through the guide rollers and slot into the
drum. Apply PTFE sealant tape or thread sealant to the hose connector
and connect to the inlet valve.

8. Attach the hose clamp to the drum. Rewind the hose onto the reel using
normal operation.
