Installing the Output Hose
WARNING: Use extreme caution; reel under tension. Avoid releasing latch mechanism.
CAUTION: Apply pipe thread sealant to all threads on standard reels. Do not overtighten connection. Recommended
torque not to exceed 70 ft. lb.
1. Manually turn sheave until spring is tight, back off 2 turns, then latch.
2. Route output hose through roller bracket, U-bolts, then through cut out in spool as indicated in above illustrations.
3. Connect output hose to swivel output as indicated in Figure E.
4. Place U-bolt over hose and through the slotted holes below the hose opening. Add washers and lock nuts, tighten
securely. (Figure F)
5. Charge hose. Momentarily open control valve to purge hose of gases. When fluid appears at control valve, close
valve. With hose fully charged, release latch and wind output hose onto reel.
6. Install hose bumper assembly.
Adjustments
WARNING: Use extreme caution; reel under tension. Avoid releasing latch mechanism. If necessary, adjust spring ten-
sion on reel by manually adding or removing wraps of hose from spool, one wrap at a time, until desired tension is
obtained. Manually add wraps to increase tension. Remove wraps to decrease tension.
CAUTION: When adding wraps of hose, add just enough wraps to achieve the desired tension without exceeding the wind-
ing mechanism’s spring capacity. Properly tensioned reels allow all hose to be freely removed from the spool until the
point of U-bolt contact. Damage to the winding mechanism will result if spring is over-tensioned.
