ELECTRIC HOSE REEL WIRING DIAGRAM
HOSE REEL ADJUSTMENTS
OPERATIONAL CHECK:
1. Pull hose off drum at least one full revolution. A clicking noise should be heard from locking mechanism.
2. Let the hose retract.
3. Pull the hose off until the first click is heard. Drum should lock when the hose tension is removed.
4. Continue pulling the hose, no more than one revolution, until no clicking is heard. Hose should rewind
when tension is removed.
SPRING TENSION ADJUSTMENT:
Reels are shipped with three winds of tension adequate for most application. However, if your usage requires
either more or less initial tension, perform the following:
1. Make sure spring is locked.
2. Disconnect inlet hose to permit the hose to go around the drum.
3. To adjust the spring tension, add or remove the wraps of the hose from the drum, one wrap at a time, until
the desired tension is obtained.
ROLLER BRACKET ADJUSTMENT:
All hose reels are shipped with the roller bracket in the ceiling mount position. For either floor or wall mount,
simply remove the guide arm that is attached to the support frame and rotate it 90°, then reinstall.
HOSE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:
1. Facing swivel, turn the hose drum clockwise until all of the hose is removed from the drum and the drum is
held by locking mechanism. Make sure spring is locked.
2. Remove hose clamps and disconnect hose from swivel. Remove old hose.
3. Insert new hose through roller guide, connect to swivel and reinstall hose clamps. Use spring guard over
hose to protect the hose from being cut by the drum.
4. Remove check ball from old hose and install on replacement hose.
5. Carefully, keeping the tension on the hose, pull the hose to release the locking mechanism. Let the hose
wind on the drum.
