air inlet valve body (part 27).
3. Remove worn O-rings and replace with new parts.
4. Reverse above procedure to re-assemble.
REPLACING HOSE

2. Disconnect incoming air supply.
3. Pull out entire length of hose.
4. Disconnect inlet-end of hose from air outlet valve (part 23).
5. Remove old hose completely.
6. Apply thread-sealing tape or thread sealant to hose connector and connect to air outlet valve.
7. Rewind hose onto spool using normal operation.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING HOSE
After reel is secured in position, attach air hose coming from compressor. Wrap threads of male
connector on incoming air hose with thread-sealing tape or apply thread sealant and connect to air inlet
valve (part 27) on side of hose reel. Connect other end of incoming air hose to air compressor. Apply
thread-sealing tape to threads on hose before attaching air tools.

Floor Wall
Mounting hose reel before installing hose is recommended. Empty reel is lighter
and easier to manuever. Keep both feet on firm level ground during installation. Be
aware that attempting installation using a ladder can be dangerous and is not recommended.
Important Safety Rules
• DO NOT EXCEED 300 PSI incoming air pressure (from compressor).
• Wear impact-resistant eye protection that meets ANSI Spec. Z87.1 in work area at all times.
Installing Hose Reel
Note: Mounting hardware (four 3/8" bolts and four washers) is not included and must be purchased separately. Decide first
where reel will be mounted before purchasing hardware. Different mounting positions may require additional hardware.
Reel can be mounted on the floor, wall, workbench or vehicle. Refer to FIG. 2 for typical mounting
positions. Remember that you can only mount reel to a load-bearing structural member capable of
supporting combined weight of reel, hose, and forces caused by pulling or maneuvering hose.
Mounting reel near air compressor is best since you can connect the two with a shorter length of hose.
Also, air compressor controls will be nearby for convenient adjusting.
