Legacy L8305, L8305-EU, L8306, L8306-EU, L8310 Parts and Technical Service Guide

Please read and follow instructions
carefully; otherwise, warranty may be void.

Mounting Options:

CAUTION:

Maximum installation height is 15 ft. (4.5 meters) above ground. Maximum weight of hose end tools is 4 lb. ( 2 kg). Maximum working

pressure is 350 PSI. Do not stand or step on top of reel!

Installation:

LEVELWIND retractable hose reels are designed for minimum assembly.

1) Place bracket on a flat mounting surface. With a pencil trace bracket
back holes onto surface. Use a leveling device to ensure that the
bracket will be level once fastened. Fasten brackets to surface with
screws ( screws are not included ).

2) Remove Bracket Rod (A) from Bracket (B) ( SEE FIGURE 1 )

3) Place reel into bracket making sure the reel hole is aligned with
bracket end holes.

4) Insert Bracket Rod through the aligned holes of Reel and Bracket.

5) Connect female end of lead-in hose to inlet connection on reel.
Connect male end to air or water source ( SEE FIGURE 2 ).

Operating Instructions:

LEVELWIND retractable hose reels can operate in FREERUN or can be latched every 3 ft. by switching to the LATCHING ZONE. Simply turn the mode
switch to desired position! ( SEE FIGURE 3 )

THE “LA TCHING ZONE”: LEVELWIND reels have a single latching zone. The reel can be latched for every drum revolution
approx. 3 feet of hose). There are audible clicking sounds as the spring loaded latch passes over the latching zone. The latching
zone flips the latch so that the latch goes into or by-passes the latching position. Pulling hose straight out off the reel “flips the
latch” so it can go into the latching position. Retracting the hose into the reel keeps the latch “flipped” so that the latch by­passes the latching position.

FREERUN MODE: The hose does not latch in this mode. Hose will automatically retract back into reel. The Hose stopper
position may be adjusted to desired length for application (SEE FIGURE 4)

CAUTION!

Do not release the end of the hose

when rewinding as personal injury or damage could result!

LATCHING - Pull out the desired length of hose. As you are pulling out hose from the reel, listen for a “click”. STOP!
Don’t pull any further! If you keep pulling out hose (more than 14”) after hearing the “click”, you will have pulled past the
latching zone. Now, allow the hose to go back into the reel (less than 14”) and the latch will drop into the latching position. The reel is now
latched!

RETRACTING - Assuming the latch is engaged in the latching position, pull out hose until you hear a “click” (approx. 14”). STOP! Don’t
pull any further! If you pull out more than 3 ft. of hose after hearing the “ click”, you will have gone a full drum revolution and back into the
latching zone where the reel will once again be latched. Now, allow the hose to retract back into the reel. The hose reel will continue retracting
hose until it is fully retracted. If you decide to re-latch the reel while you are still retracting hose, simply listen for a click.
STOP! Slowly pull out hose until you hear a second click. STOP! Don’t pull any further. Now, slowly allow the hose back
into the reel (less than 14”) and the latch will drop into the latching position. The reel is now latched.

SEVEN POSITION LOCKING BRACE

LEVELWIND retractable hose reels can swing freely on bracket or can
be locked in one of seven positions, allowing for specific mounting
requirements.

SSttaannddaarrdd bbrraacckkeett

1) Remove bracket rod from reel. (SEE FIGURE 5A)

2) Place seven position locking brace over bracket so that bracket
rod holes are aligned. Replace bracket rod so that brace, reel &
bracket are attached. (SEE FIGURE 5B)

3) Rotate bracket so that it is at desired angle & lock into place with
fastener. (SEE FIGURE 5B)

Maintenance Procedures

TENSION ADJUSTMENT:

This reel is preloaded with spring tension that is set at the factory. If the reel becomes completely un-tensioned, please identify your hose reel model
number referenced in the Factory Preset Tensioning Table to find out how many turns are needed for proper tensioning. If a heavy air tool is attached
to the end of the hose, you may need to add tension to overcome the weight of this tool. DO NOT EXCEED one full turn past the number of turns
listed in the Factory Preset Tensioning Chart below.

1) Lay reel on its side. ( SEE FIGURE 7 )

2) Place wrench on hub fitting plate nut. HOLD WRENCH FIRMLY.

3) Unscrew hub. DO NOT REMOVE SIDEPLATE.

4) Turn wrench either ½ turn or no more than one full turn. Turn
clock wise to increase tension. Turn counterclockwise to
decrease tension.

5) Replace hub plate screws and tighten. Return reel to mounting
bracket.

HOSE REPLACEMENT:

To ensure proper performance, please consult the Hose
Replacement Kit table for the appropriate part number
to order. Call 1(800) 645-8258 to order kit.

RReeppllaacceemmeenntt HHoossee KKiittss

1) Pull entire length of hose out of reel.
( SEE FIGURE 8 )

2) While entire length of hose is out of the reel, place
long screw driver ( 3/8” in diameter ) all the way
though the the hole located at the back portion of
reel. This eliminates any chance for the reel to
retract while replacing hose.

3) Locate inlet sideplate. Remove four fasteners (SEE FIGURE 9 ). While placing fingers on grooves located on the top and bottom of sideplate,
depress locking tabs at the same time with thumbs (SEE FIGURE 10). Rotate side plate either way until sideplate unlocks. Remove sideplate.

4) Remove wear plate (SEE FIGURE 11). Unscrew two fasteners on wear ring and remove wear ring (SEE FIGURE 12).
