Safety Precautions

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).

• Before connecting reel to supply line ensure that supply line pressure does not exceed maximum rated working pressure of reel.

• Bleed fluid/gas pressure from system before servicing reel.

• Do not play pranks on other personnel. Even low pressure is very dangerous and can cause irreparable 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.

• Pull hose from reel by grasping the hose itself, not the control valve.

• If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove system pressure immediately. Do not pull or jerk on hose!

• Treat and respect a hose reel as any other piece of machinery, observing all common safety practices.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Inspection

Unpack and inspect the reel for damage.
Turn the reel by hand to check for smooth
operation. Check for completeness.

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.

Maximum Operating Temperature

Low pressure (300 PSI) = 150°F (66°C)
Medium pressure (3000 PSI) = 210°F (99°C)
High pressure (4800 PSI) = 210°F (99°C)

Installing the Input Hose(s)
WARNING: Ensure that supply line pres-

sure does not exceed maximum working
pressure rating of reel. Apply pipe thread
sealant where applicable to all threads on
standard reels. Do not over-tighten con­nection.
CAUTION: A flexible hose connection
must be used to compensate for any off­set between the supply line and the reel
swivel. Do not use rigid plumbing.

1. Apply thread sealant as directed and
connect swivels to main shaft inputs
on opposite sides of the reel.

2. Connect customer supplied supply
line hose to swivel input as indicated
in illustration.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES

Adjusting the reel

1. Adjust reel drag by loosening or
tightening the knob on the side of the
hand rewind assembly.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

User servicing of the reel is limited to
replacing input/output hoses only. Refer
all other repairs to an authorized service
person or directly to Reelcraft. Failure to
do so can result in personal injury and/
or equipment damage and may void the
warranty.
WARNING: Bleed pressure from system
before servicing reel.

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.

Installing the Output Hose(s)
WARNING: Ensure that supply line pres-

sure does not exceed maximum working
pressure rating of reel.
CAUTION: Apply pipe thread sealant
where applicable to all threads on standard
reels. Do not over-tighten connection.

1. Connect output hoses to goosenecks
paying special attention to which
gooseneck should be used depending
on application. The left inlet is con­nected to the left gooseneck and the
right inlet to the right gooseneck.

2. Charge hoses. Momentarily open
control valve to purge hose of gases.
When fluid appears at control valve,
close valve. With hose fully charged,
wind output hoses onto reel.

1. Replace hoses in accordance with
procedures given in “Installation In­structions” section of this manual.

2. All mating moving parts have been
factory lubricated as required.
