IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING – When using hose reels, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, read all the instructions before using the hose reel.
Work Area
1. Keep the work area clean and well lighted. 2. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating the hose reel.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating the hose reel.
Do not use the hose reel while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the hose
reel increases the risk of injury to persons.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair increases the risk of injury to persons as
a result of being caught in moving parts.
3. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control
of the hose reel in unexpected situations.
4. Use safety equipment.
A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and
a hard hat must be used for the
applicable conditions.
5. Always wear eye protection.
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.
Hose Reel Use and Care
1. Do not force the hose reel. Use the correct
hose reel for the application. The correct
hose reel will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which the hose reel is designed.

2. Disconnect the hose reel from the air source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the hose reel. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the hose reel unintentionally.
3. Store the hose reel when it is idle out of reach
of children and other untrained persons. A hose
reel is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Tool Use and Care (cont.)
4. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that affects the hose reel's
operation. If damaged, have the hose reel
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained hose reels. There is a risk
of bursting if the hose reel is damaged.
Service
1. Hose reel service must be performed
only by qualified repair personnel.
2. When servicing a hose reel, use only identical
replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
Air Source
1. Never connect to an air source that is
capable of exceeding 200 psi.
Over pressurizing the hose reel may
cause bursting, abnormal operation,
breakage of the hose reel or serious
injury to persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated
compressed air at the rated pressure or within the
rated pressure range as marked on the hose reel.
Always verify prior to using the hose reel that the air
source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or
within the rated air-pressure range.
5. Use only accessories that are identified by
the manufacturer for the specific hose reel
model. Use of an accessory not intended
for use with the specific hose reel model,
increases the risk of injury to persons.
SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
3. Use only the lubricants supplied with the
hose reel or specified by the manufacturer.
2. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible
gases or any bottled gas as an air source
for the hose reel. Such gases are capable
of explosion and serious injury to persons.
