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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MOUNTING
Caution: Unless reel was specified
differently when ordering, maximum
installation height is 16 feet. Do not
exceed this distance.
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 nuts (1) securing guide arm
bracket (2). Position guide arm bracket
to desired location, and replace nuts.
Caution: When changing guide arm
positions, the U-bolt must be placed in
the proper location as instructed in
figure A. The reel can “latch out”
during use if this instruction is not
adhered to.
3. Position reel on floor, wall, or ceiling.
Secure into place using four (customer
supplied) bolts (3).
INSTALLING THE INPUT HOSE(S)
Warning: Ensure that supply line
pressure does not exceed maximum
working pressure rating of reel. Apply
pipe thread sealant to all threads on
standard reels only. Caution: Use flexible
hose connection at input. Do not use rigid
plumbing.
1. Connect supply line hose (4) to main
shaft input (5) as indicated in
illustration.
INSTALLING THE OUTPUT HOSE(S)
Warning: Use extreme caution; reel
under tension. Avoid releasing latch
mechanism. Apply pipe thread sealant to
all threads.
1. Manually turn sheave (10) until spring
is tight, back off 3 turns, then latch.
2. Route output hose(s) (11) through
guide arm bracket (2), U-bolts (12),
then through cutout (13) in spool as
indicated in illustration.
3. Connect output hose(s) (11) to swivel
(14) as indicated in illustration.
4. Tighten U-bolts (12).
5. Charge hose(s). Momentarily open
control valve to purge hose(s) of gases.
When fluid appears at control valve,
close valve. With hose(s) fully charged,
release latch and wind output hose(s)
onto reel.
6. Install hose bumper (15).
ADJUSTMENTS
Warning: Use extreme caution; reel
under tension. Avoid releasing latch
mechanism. If necessary, adjust spring
tension on 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.
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: 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.
Caution: When replacing drive spring,
hold the center of the spring down as the
hub is pulled out. If the center is allowed
to raise up, the spring may escape from
it’s container with enough force to cause
injuries.
When disposing of old or broken spring
assemblies, the coils should be welded or
wired together to prevent possible injury
to scrap handling personnel.
2. All mating moving parts are to be
lubricated with Perma Bond or Loctite
anti-seize compound.
