CURING A LEAKING SWIVEL
Problem:
Your new Liberty® hose reel or hose reel cart is leaking at the swivel.
Solution:
It is normal for the swivel to leak slightly until the O-rings are wet and have seated. If the leaking
continues, you don’t need to take the cart back to the store. This is a simple problem and is
easily fixed by a simple procedure.
1. If the leader hose is attached to the swivel, unscrew the hose and look inside the swivel.
2. Using either a hex key or a large screw driver, insert the tool into the hex opening and gently
tighten the threaded insert. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
3. This should stop the leaking.
4. If the unit still leaks, please check that the hose washer is inside the nut. You may contact
Liberty for a new hose washer or obtain one at any hardware store.
5. If your swivel is old, the O-rings may be worn, please contact us for a new set of O-rings.
6. If these steps do not solve your leaking problem, then contact Liberty Garden.
