Air Driven Reels
WARNING: Do not exceed 100 PSI
motor inlet pressure. Use an FRL or
control valve (in line) to adjust speed of
motor.
1. If location of motor does not satisfy
mounting/operating requirements refer
to “Modifications” in this manual.
2. Connect inlet air line (1) to motor (2).
Hydraulic Driven Reels
1. If location of motor does not satisfy
mounting/operating requirements refer
to “Modifications” in this manual.
2. Apply thread compound to inlet/outlet
hydraulic line fittings (1) and motor
inlet threads (2).
3. Thread hydraulic line fittings (1) into
motor inlet/outlet (2). Tighten securely.
Connecting the Output Hose
CAUTION: Do not connect the output
hose to the connecting tube assembly
until after reel is installed and motor
connections are complete.
1. Apply thread compound to connecting
tube assembly (1) and output hose
fitting threads (2).
2. Hand thread output hose fitting (2)
into connecting tube assembly (1).
3. Using a wrench, firmly hold
connecting tube assembly (1) while
tightening output hose fitting (2).
Connecting the Supply Line
NOTE: A flexible coupling must be used
to compensate for any offset between the
supply line and reel swivel.
1. Apply thread compound to swivel (1)
and connecting hose fitting (2) threads.
2. Thread connecting hose fitting (2) into
swivel (1). Tighten securely.
3. With control valve open, fully extend
and charge hose to purge system of
gases. When fluid appears at control
valve, close valve. This prevents
flattening of hose and excessive
pressure on drum when fluid supply is
reinitialized at a later time.

WARNING- PREVENT STATIC
SPARKING
When working around flammable
liquids such as solvents, paints,
chemicals, or petroleum products,
ensure that the hose reel, hose, and
equipment being serviced is properly
grounded. Use a grounded hose (static
wire). Use an ohmmeter to check
continuity of the ground circuit. Fire
and/or explosion can result if proper
grounding is not achieved.
CAUTION: If reel is electric, air, or
hydraulic driven be careful of chain/
sprocket and/or gear drive system. Keep
hands clear and do not wear loose fit-
ting clothing while operating reel. If reel
ceases to unwind or rewinds, remove
power immediately. Do not pull or jerk
on hose. Find and remedy problem
before continuing. Pull hose by grasp-
ing hose itself, not the control valve or
swivel.
