SAFETY

Personal injury and/or equipment damage may result if proper safety
precautions are not observed.

• Ensure that reel is properly installed before connecting input and output
hoses.

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

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

• Remember, even low pressure is very dangerous and can cause per­sonal injury or death.

• Be aware of machinery and personnel in work area.

• If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, remove system pressure immedi­ately.

IMPORTANT

Read this manual carefully before installing, operating

or servicing this equipment.

• A high tension spring assembly is contained within the reel. Exercise
extreme caution.

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

• Ensure that reel, hose, and equipment being serviced are

properly grounded. Use an ohmmeter to check ground
continuity.

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

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

IN-SERVICE CAUTION:

• The user is cautioned not to shut off the fuel gas at the regulator or supply source first, as a flashback may result, and thereby damage the
hose.

• Users are cautioned specifically to shut off the gas at the torch first, and then at the regulator or supply source, to limit permeation of gas
through the hose wall. This should be done when the torch will not be used for periods in excess of 30 minutes.

• After the flame has been extinguished and the gas turned off at the supply source, it is recommended that any remaining gas be bled to mini­mize degradation of the rubber during long shutdowns.

• To prevent an accumulation or concentration of gas that could be explosive or otherwise harmful to personnel, adequate ventillation must be
provided at all times, particularly in confined areas where fuel gas is being used.

• Additional advice for minimizing the permeation problem has been supplied by an NWSA member who states “The source of gas (fuel gas
and oxygen) should be closed before leaving for the day or shift. After the cylinder or manifold valves have been closed, the torch valves
(both fuel gas and oxygen) should be opened to remove all pressure from hoses.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

MOUNTING
Caution: Unless reel was specified differently when ordering,

maximum installation height is 16 feet. Do not exceed this dis­tance. Observe all applicable NEC, OSHA & local codes when
installing this equipment.

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

2. Configure reel for top, side, or bottom-wind hose dispens­ing by removing bolts (or nuts) (1) securing guide arm
bracket (2).

3. Determine new guide arm bracket location and remove
corresponding bolts, (or nuts). Position guide arm bracket
to reel and replace bolts (or nuts).

4. Position reel on floor, wall or ceiling. Secure into place
using four (customer supplied) screws or bolts (3).

INSTALLING THE INPUT HOSES
Caution: Apply teflon tape to all input connections to insure

a proper seal.

2. Route output hoses through guide bracket.

3. Using a wrench, firmly hold on to fittings on shaft while
tightening the hose connector (see figure 1).

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

User servicing of the reel is limited to replacing the input/
output hoses or swivel only. Refer all other repairs to an autho­rized service person or directly to Reelcraft Industries, Inc.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage and may void the warranty.
Caution: Rewind hose on reel, then bleed pressure from sys­tem before performing the following procedures.

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

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 (see figure 2).

3. Apply thread sealant to threaded connection and re-install
swivel assembly to inlet shaft by reversing steps 1 & 2.

INSTALLING THE OUTPUT HOSES
Caution: Use extreme caution; reel under tension, avoid

releasing latch mechanism. Apply teflon tape to outlet connec­tions.

1. Manually turn spool ass’y until spring is tight, back off
three turns, then latch.

Caution: Use extreme caution; reel under tension. Avoid
releasing latch mechanism. If necessary, adjust spring tension
of reel by adding or removing wraps of hose from spool, one
wrap at a time, until desired tension is obtained. Add wraps
to increase tension. Remove wraps to decrease tension. When
adding wraps of hose, be careful not to exceed the winding
mechanisms spring capacity. Add just enough wraps of hose to
achieve the desired tension. Damage to the winding mechanism
will result if spring is over-tensioned.
