CAUTION
CAUTION
REPLACEMENT OF SPRING CANISTER
1) Pull out the hose approximately 1m (3ft) and latch
reel.
Make sure the reel drum is securely locked and cannot
rotate back.
2) Remove the outlet nozzle, gun or tool and hose
stopper.
8) If hose stopper adjustment is required, pull hose from
the reel and allow to latch at desired length. Loosen
stopper bolts and slide stopper to a position close to the
hose guide. Retighten stopper bolts and check operation.
HOSE INSTALLATION
1) Securely stabilize the reel.
2) Facing the swivel fitting side of the reel, turn the drum
clockwise by hand until the rewind spring is tight, and the
drum has latched. As an extra precaution while installing
hose, secure drum in the latched position.
3) Insert end of hose through roller guides and feed
through the opening in the drum flange.
4) Use Teflon tape or pipe sealant on hose fitting threads,
screw fitting into swivel and tighten. Note: To avoid
damage to the swivel, use a wrench to support the swivel
shaft while tightening the hose.
5) Attach hose stopper on the other end of hose, near the
outlet fitting.
6) Carefully release drum latch, and slowly allow the hose
to rewind into the reel.
Note: Final spring tension adjustment is accomplished by
adding wraps of hose around the drum (to increase
tension) or taking wraps off hose (to decrease tension).
Refer to ‘Adjustment of Spring Tension’.
OPERATION
1) Check reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out the
hose. A “clicking” noise will be heard every half revolution
of the drum.
2) To latch the reel, pull out the hose and allow it to retract
after hearing the first, second or third “click”.
3) To unlatch, slowly pull out the hose until the “clicking”
noise stops, then let the hose retract until the hose stop
rests against the hose guide.
Always hold on to the hose while it is retracting.
4) Periodically check the hose condition for wear or
damage, and check the swivel fitting for leakage. Replace
any worn, damaged or leaking parts.
ADJUST SPRING TENSION
1) Pull out approximately 6ft or 2m of hose and allow the
drum to latch.
2) Remove hose stopper from hose, and feed hose back
through guide.
3) Wrap the hose one time around the drum to increase
tension or un-wrap hose one time to decrease tension.
4) Re-insert hose through guide, and install stopper onto
hose end.
5) Unlatch the drum and check tension. Pull hose from
reel, and adjust stopper position if necessary,
REPLACEMENT OF SWIVEL SEALS
1) Turn off and release hose line pressure
2) Disconnect supply line from swivel inlet
3) Using the correct size spanner, unscrew the swivel shaft
and remove the complete swivel assembly from the reel
axle
Note: Swivel seals on grease the reel cannot be replaced.
4) Remove circlip from swivel, and take apart. The swivel
can be removed from the reel, but this is not necessary
unless installing a new swivel.
5) Replace the seals and reassemble Swivel.
6) Use Teflon tape or thread sealant on thread connections
when re-fitting swivel to reel.
7) Re-connect inlet supply line, and check all connections
for leaks.
REPLACEMENT OF HOSE
1) Turn off and disconnect the supply line and release
hose line pressure.
2) Pull out all the hose and lock the reel in this position.
3) Remove two hose clamps from hose on drum flange.
4) Carefully disconnect hose from swivel joint on side of
reel, or male fitting in axil center and remove old hose.
5) Feed new hose through guide and opening in drum, and
connect swivel. Re-install two hose clamps, on inside and
outside of drum flange. Install stopper on other end of hose
in same position as before.
6) Carefully release the drum latch, and slowly allow the
hose to rewind into the reel.
Note: For final spring adjustment refer to section “Adjust
Spring Tension”.
