Personal injury and/or equipment
damage may result if proper safety
precautions are not observed.
• Ensure that the reel has been properly
installed before connecting supply line
(see installation instructions).
• Bleed fluid/gas pressure from system
before servicing reel.
• Before connecting reel to supply line
ensure that supply line pressure does
not exceed maximum rated working
pressure of reel.

and can cause irrepairable damage or
death.
• Do not wear loose fitting clothing while
operating reel.
• Be aware of other personnel in work
area.
• Be aware of other machinery in work
area.
• If a leak occurs in the hose or reel,
remove supply line pressure
immediately.
• If the reel is power driven check for
loose, frayed, and/or broken wires before
operating.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Inspection
Unpack and inspect the reel for damage.
Turn the reel by hand to check for smooth
operation. Check for completeness.
Mounting of all hose reels
NOTE: Ensure that mounting surface is
flat to prevent binding on reel after it is
mounted.
1. Two 1/2” diameter mounting holes are
located at the base of each side
support panel (2 each). Mount reel
using four (customer supplied) bolts;
tightening them securely to ensure a
solid, rigid attachment.
2. Perform the following steps only after
all other installation steps, pertaining
to your particular reel, are
accomplished. Refer to page 4 for
special instructions.
NOTE: A flexible hose connection must be
used to compensate for any offset between
the supply line and the reel swivel.
3. Apply thread compound to all threads.
4. Thread male connector of supply line
into swivel. Tighten securely.
5. Determine which end of reel motor is
mounted on. If the original factory
configuration is not condusive to your
application, see section in the manual
titled “Modifcations”.
CAUTION: Remove all electrical power
when wiring. Do not “hot-wire”. Observe
all applicable NEC/OSHA requirements.
6. Ensure that supply and motor voltage
ratings are compatible.
7. Consult wiring diagrams and determine
which one is applicable to your reel.
8. Perform electrical wiring following
applicable diagram.

Connecting the hose
CAUTION: Do not connect the hose to the
connecting tube assembly until after hose
reel has been installed. Fully extend and
charge hose before winding on ot reel.
Momentarily open control valve, when
initially charging, to purge hose of gases.
When fluid appears at control valve, close
valve. This prevents flattening of the hose
and excessive pressure on the drum when
fluid supply is reinitialized at a later time.
1. Apply thread compound to all threads.
2. Hand thread male hose connector into
connecting tube assembly.
3. Using a wrench, firmly hold onto
connecting tube assembly while
tightening hose connector.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING-PREVENT STATIC
SPARKING: When working around flam-
mable liquids such as solvents, paints,
chemicals or petroleum products, ensure
that the hose reel, hose and the equipment
being serviced are properly grounded.
Use grounded hose(s) (static wire). Use
an ohmmeter to check continuity of the
ground circuit. Fire and/or explosion can
result if proper grounding is not achieved.
If reel is power or air driven, be careful of
chain/sprocket drive system. Keep hands
clear. Do not wear loose fitting clothing. Pull hose from the reel by grasping
the hose itself, not the control handle or
swivel.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
Replacing the hose
1. Using a wrench, firmly hold onto the
connecting tube assembly while
removing hose connector.
2. Follow procedures for “Connecting the
hose” (refer to installation
instructions).
Replacing the swivel
CAUTION: Remove supply line pressure
before performing the following procedure.
1. Remove supply line from swivel.
2. Remove swivel assembly from inlet
shaft.
3. Install swivel assembly to inlet shaft by
reversing steps 1 and 2. Apply thread
compound to all threads.

Replacing the motor
CAUTION: Before replacing the motor,
remove all electrical power from motor.
1. Disconnect wiring lines from motor.
2. Remove bolts securing motor mounting
bracket to reel. Remove bracket (refer
to diagram on page 3).
3. Install swivel assembly to inlet shaft by
reversing steps 1 and 2. Apply thread
compound to all threads.

Replacing the chain
CAUTION: Before replacing the chain,
remove all electrical power from motor.
1. Loosen (do not remove) bolts securing
motor mounting bracket in place.
2. Remove chain master-link.
3. Remove chain master-link. Install new
chain by reversing steps 1 and 2
above.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
Adjusting the reel
1. Adjust reel drag by loosening or
tightening set screw on hub casting on
manual driven reel.
Adjusting the chain tension
CAUTION: Before adjusting the chain
tension, remove all electrical power from
motor. Over-tensioned (tightening) of
chain results in reduced motor life. Adjust
to allow between 1/4 and 1/2 inch play in
chain.
1. Loosen bolts (do not remove) securing
motor mounting bracket to reel.
2. Move motor mounting bracket and
motor until proper chain tension is
obtained.
3. Tighten motor mounting bracket bolts.
MODIFICATIONS
CAUTION: Remove electrical reel power
and release all pressure from hoses before
beginning any modification.
Motor mounting
If it is desired that the motor be mounted
on the opposite end of the hose reel:
1. Remove bolts securing motor mounting
bracket and sprocket to reel assembly.
