Reelcraft Nordic Series 2400 Reels - Manual (Page 2)

PRE-INSPECTION
1. Check reel for shipping damages.
2. Insured all parts are supplied as ordered.
3. Record model number and serial number for future refer-
ence.
MOUNTING
1. Unpack and inspect reel - rotating spool (1) to check for
smooth operation.
2. Ensure that mounting surface is rigid and flat to prevent
binding of reel after it is installed. This is important to en-
sure proper alignment.
3. Drill four mounting holes in reel frame. Secure reel to
mounting surface by inserting four bolts (2) through the
four mounting holes (3) just drilled into the reel frame.
Tighten securely to ensure a solid, rigid attachment.
Hose Reel Operations Manual

• Ensure that reel is properly installed before connecting supply line (see instructions).
• Before connecting supply line to reel, ensure that supply line pressure does not exceed maximum rated working pressure of the
reel.
• Do not wear loose fitting clothing while operating reel.
• Be aware of other personnel / machinery in work area.
• If a leak occurs in hose or reel, remove supply line pressure immediately.
• Treat and respect a hose reel as any other piece of machinery, observing all common safety practices.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Pull hose by grasping the hose itself not by the control valve swivel.
• When working around flammable liquids such as solvents, paints, chemicals or petroleum products, ensure that the hose reel
and the equipment being serviced is properly grounded. Use a grounding hose (static wire).
• Use an ohmmeter to check continuity of the grounding circuit. Fire and/or explosion can result if proper grounding is not
achieved.
• If reel is electric, air or hydraulic driven, be careful of chain / sprocket drive system. Keep hands clear and do not wear loose
fitting clothing while operating reel.
• If reel ceases to unwind or rewind properly, remove power immediately. Do not pull or jerk on hose. Find and remedy problem
before continuing.
WARNINGS & TIPS
Prevent static sparking
1. Ensure that all supply and motor electrical ratings are compat-
ible.
2. Wire power to the motor following applicable wiring diagram.
3. Switch reel on to insure proper wiring procedures were fol-
lowed. Check alignment of heads, motor, chain and sprocket
while the hose reel turns.
ELECTRIC DRIVEN REELS
WARNING: Remove all electrical power when wiring. DO NOT
“HOT WIRE”. Observe all applicable NEC, OSHA, and local codes.
NOTE: It is not proper to connect either power lead to any part of
the motor, or to any part attached to the motor, such as the
terminal box, as that would make the motor an integral part of the
electrical power circuit.
