A flexible hose connection must be used between the hose reel inlet and the source of supply to prevent possible
misalignment and binding.
The hose reel is equipped with a universal mounting bracket so that it can be mounted on the floor, wall or
ceiling; whichever place is convenient. The hose guide arm can be moved to the position desired by removing
the 1/4-20 hex nuts (4) fastening the hose guide enclosure to the reel back cover. Shift the hose guide
enclosure to the desired position and replace the 1/4-20 hex nuts. NOTE: For proper installation in wall mount
applications, ensure reel is mounted with inlet on the right as you are facing the reel. Failing to do so could cause
latching issues.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
It is recommended to disassemble, inspect and re-lube the swivel
every 3 months. Disassemble, wipe off and inspect the swivel body
and stem for any evidence of galling on the metal-to-metal contact
(bearing) areas. If evidence of galling is found, the swivel should
be replaced. If the swivel shows no evidence of galling, re-lube the
swivel with anti-seize lubricant on the bearing areas of the swivel
components and reassemble the components. The swivel should be
pressure tested to insure the O-rings are seated properly and that
there is no evidence of leaking. Attach the swivel assembly to the reel
and test the hose reel assembly for leaks at the threaded connections.
It is up to the customer to insure that the lubricant used is compatible
with the media they are running through the hose reel assembly.
