INTRODUCTION

This hose reel has been manufactured from high quality materials and the most suitable components. The
system winds the hose in automatically, using a spring drive. An automatic gripping mechanism allows
the automatic winding system to be locked so that the length of unwound hose can be adjusted. An
automatic alignment device ensures that the hose winds onto the reel correctly. The wall mounting
bracket allows the hose reel to pivot 180 degrees for ease of use. The high-quality hose is capable of a
high rate of flow at high pressure.

ATTENTION: BEFORE USE

PLEASE NOTE:

• The hose is NOT suited for drinkable water.

• Only factory trained professionals should attempt to open the cover on the hose reel.

• Please CAREFULLY read the instructions before use.

This Hose and Reel is suitable for installation close to a water supply. The distance from the faucet to
the Hose and Reel can be extended by adding an additional length of hose.

When installed to a wall or post, follow these steps:

1. Attach the spray nozzle to longer, retractable hose.

2. Install mounting bracket to the wall or post as in FIG. 1. The wall mounting may be attached to a stone
or brick wall. If attaching to a wood surface, lag bolts (not included) are needed. There are many
alternative positions in which the equipment may be placed. The important thing is to locate the hose
where it is most convenient for the user. The wall mounting has 4 holes, one each taking an expansive
bolt. Each bolt must be fitted with a flexible washer or cushioning piece.

3. Connect the reel to the mounting bracket with the metal tube (pin).

4. Attach the brass connection on the leader hose to the
faucet or water tap.

ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING THE HOSE AND REEL

The Hose and Reel comes with a high-quality, UV-protected, kink-resistant hose. After use, turn off the
water supply, empty out the water remaining in the hose by opening the valve on the nozzle. Gently tug
on the hose to begin retracting the hose onto the reel. In certain areas where the temperatures or water
pressures are high, the sunlight may heat up the water and damage the hose, making the hose
difficult to reel in. You are therefore advised always to reel in your hose after use. Do not leave the hose
reel outdoors when temperatures are below 32
degrees. In such conditions, the hose may be
less flexible and more difficult to reel in. The
hose should never come in contact with
chemicals or other substances such as acetone,
mineral spirits, acids, etc. Please note that the

hose supplied with this hose reel should never
be used for drinking water.
