Safety

Read all instruction manuals, tags, and labels before operating this equipment. Personal injury and/or equipment damage
may result if proper safety precautions are not observed.

• This hose reel is for professional use only. Use the hose reel only for its intended purposes. If you are unsure call
your Reelcraft distributor.

• Check the hose reel and related equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

• Do not alter or modify this hose reel in any way. Use only genuine Reelcraft parts and accessories.

• Ensure that the hose reel is securely mounted before connecting the input and output hoses.

• Ensure that the reel, hose, and equipment being serviced are properly grounded. Use an ohmmeter to check ground
continuity.

• Before connecting the hose reel to the supply line, ensure that the pressure does not exceed the maximum pressure
of the lowest rated component within the system.

• Only use fluids, gases or solvents that are compatible with the exposed parts of the hose reel.

• If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, relieve the system pressure immediately. Bleed the fluid or gas pressure before
servicing the hose reel.

• A high tension drive spring in contained within the hose reel. Exercise extreme caution.

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

• Be aware of machinery and personnel in the work area. Route hoses away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving
parts, and hot surfaces.

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

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

• Never allow hose to retract unassisted, always walk the hose back to the reel until the bumper engaged the guide
roller. Failure to do so can result in damage to the hose, hose reel and any surrounding equipment or personnel.

Warnings

Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if inhaled, swallowed, splashed in the eyes, or splashed
on the skin.

• Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using.

• Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local, state and national
guidelines.

• Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing, and a respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manu­facturer.

Improper grounding, poor ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and result in a fire or ex­plosion and serious injury.

• For fueling applications, be sure the entire fluid system is properly grounded. The hoses installed with these hose
reels must be electrically conductive. The hose reel is grounded by connecting electrically conductive supply hoses to
a properly grounded system.

• If there is any static sparking or you feel an electric shock while using this equipment, stop dispensing immediately.
Do not use the equipment until you identify and correct the problem.

• Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvents or the fluid being dispensed.

• Keep the dispensing area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and spilled gasoline.

• Do not smoke while dispensing flammable fluids.

Installation Instructions

Unless the hose reel was specified differently when ordering, the maximum installation height is 16 feet. Do not exceed
this distance. This reel is of a compact design and is intended for mounting where the operator can guide the hose onto
the reel to avoid piling in any one area on the spool. Ceiling mounting is not recommended.

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

2. Secure the hose reel into place using 4 customer supplied bolts. Hose reel has 4 – 1/2” diameter holes for mounting.

Secure the hose reel with a 3/8” – 1/2” bolts with washers.

Installing the Input Hose

Ensure that the supply line pressure does not exceed the maximum working pressure of the hose reel. Apply pipe thread
sealant to all threads. Use a flexible hose connection at the input connection. Do not use rigid plumbing.

1. Connect supply line hose (inlet hose) to the swivel as indicated in Fig. 1.

Installing the Output Hose

Warning: Use extreme caution; reel under tension. Avoid releasing latch mechanism. Apply pipe thread sealant to

all threads.

1. Relieve the pressure and bleed the line of all fluid. It is recommended that the supply line be removed from the supply

source to eliminate the possibility of pressurized fluid injuries and/or accidental spills.

2. Ensure that the hose reel has been mounted securely, following the steps listed above under Installation Instructions.

3. Place a piece of tape on the side of the reel flange as a visual reference point for counting spool rotations.

4. Unlatch the hose reel spool, and allow it to slowly rotate until all the spring tension has been released. Then rotate the

spool in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig. 1 to achieve the proper amount of spring tension for the hose you are
installing. Important: Release the reel only at points where it is securely latched. See the chart below for the proper
number of turns for your length of hose.

5. As a safety precaution, attach a C-clamp to the reel flange, as shown in Fig. 1, to help prevent the spool from uninten-

tionally becoming unlatched and spinning freely.

6. Uncoil and extend the new hose, and loosely install the bumper stop near the outlet end of the hose.

7. Attach the other end of the new hose to the gooseneck, securing it with pipe sealant compatible with the fluids being

used in the hose reel.

8. Remove the C-clamp from the reel flange.

9. Pull the hose firmly enough to release the latch, and then slowly allow the hose to retract.

10. Ensure that the hose can be pulled out all the way and that it fully retracts. If it does not pull out or retract properly,

see Adjusting Spring Tension on the next page.

11. Position the bumper stop so that the hose extends far enough for all operators to reach the dispensing valve.

12. Pressurize the reel assembly and check all connections for leaks. Repair any connections showing signs of leakage.
