How to use the Cam-Lever Brake

As you pull the hose from the reel, our innovative cam-lever brake will
prevent the reel from “free-spinning”, unrolling more hose than you
want. The brake can be turned ON and OFF with the ick of the lever.

BRAKE ON

Pulling the hose out.

BRAKE OFF

Reeling the hose in.

How to adjust the Cam-Lever Brake

1. Place the cam-lever in the “ON” position.

2. Pull enough hose off the reel to test the amount of drag created by the Cam-Lever Brake.

a. Too little drag, and the reel will continue to unspool hose after you’ve stop pulling.
i. Tighten the nut on the Cam-Lever Brake using a 3/8” wrench.
ii. Adjust 1/4 turn of the wrench.

ii. Test again.

b. Too much drag and it will be difcult to pull hose off the reel.
i. Loosen the nut on the Cam-Lever Brake using a 3/8” wrench.
ii. Adjust 1/4 turn of the wrench.

ii. Test again.
