WARNING

Some reels with large or multiple springs are equipped

with a ratcheted adjustment wrench. Follow separate

instructions for its use. Failure to use ratcheted wrench, on

reels so equipped, could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING

Do not attempt to remove spring from its housing. Clock

type springs can be dangerous to handle. Removal

of spring from housing could result in personal injury.

Do not exceed number of turns indicated on serial

plate. Over-tensioning can cause a broken spring,

sheared shaft or other damage.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to relieve spring tension using spanner

wrench. Doing so may result in personal injury.

If machine pull reel, move machinery to position

closest to reel before adjusting spring tension.

Adjusting tension with hose extended may result in

damage to reel or personal injury.

WARNING

HOSE REMOVAL

Use the following procedure to remove worn or damaged hoses

from reel prior to installation of new hoses.

1. Move machine serviced by reel to a position closest to

reel. Spring will still be under pre-tension at this point.

2. Turn off supply pressure to reel.

3. Disconnect hoses from machine or other attachments.

Remove hose stops, if installed, and allow hoses to

retract onto spool. Ensure all tension is off spring by

manually rotating spool (normally clockwise when

viewed from spring side).

4. Unwrap hoses without allowing spool to turn.

5. Disconnect hoses from elbows inside spool wrapper.

6. Install new hoses following directions below.

HOSE INSTALLATION

Use the following procedure to replace hoses or if reel was

ordered without hoses. Refer to HOSE INSTALLATION

REFERENCE DRAWING, below.

1. Unspool new hose from shipping spool and lay out to

eliminate twist.

NOTE: This step is not essential, but will aid in winding

operation of the reel and prolong hose life.

2. Connect hoses to elbows inside spool wrapper.

(See drawing below.)

3. Wind the hose onto the reel spool by hand rotating

spool in direction it turns free of spring tension.

(Normally clockwise when viewed from spring side)
4. Complete working end connections.
5. Pretension reel and complete installation as

described in REEL INSTALLATION section.

10. Connect free end of hose to connections on machine or adjust

hose stop so that desired length of hose extends from reel.

11. Tension spring with spanner wrench. Refer to

INSTALLATION

section.

12. Replace inspection cover.

All units are provided with right hand rotation unless otherwise

specified. This means that hose is pulled off spool top left or bottom

right (spool rotates clockwise to wind hose)

when viewing spring

end of reel. See diagram on parts page.
Clock-type springs provide power for automatic hose take-up.

Spring must be pretensioned at time of installation to insure

that tension is applied to hose at all times. A tension adjustment

spanner wrench is provided with each reel.

INSTALLATION

1. Install hoses if reel was purchased without hoses. See

instructions on page 4.

2. Insure that machinery to be serviced by reel is at

position closest to reel.

3. Securely mount reel in desired position using 1/2"(M12).

Be sure spool is aligned with hose run.

4. Connect free end of hoses to connections on machine.

5. Connect flexible supply lines to swivel fitting. See HOSE

INSTALLATION REFERENCE DRAWING.

NOTE: Do not hard plumb to swivel fitting.

6. Remove cover plate on spring housing to

expose

shaft and spring hub. (See Figure 1).

7. Insert spanner wrench into holes in spring hub (Fig 2). Rotate

spanner wrench counter-clockwise. Number of 360° turns

should match last digit in model number on serial plate.

SPRING REPLACEMENT

The unique SAFETYCHANGE® spring motor consists of a spring

and hub sealed within a housing. A replacement spring is supplied

sealed in its housing and the old unit should be

discarded completely.

1. Turn off supply pressure to reel.

2. Insure that machinery to be serviced by reel is at

position closest to reel. Disconnect hose from

machine connections.

3. Wind all hose onto reel to relieve all spring tension.

4. Remove inspection cover from face of spring housing.

5. Rotate spool clockwise and observe inner shaft.

Shaft should rotate clockwise and hub (with

spring attached) should remain stationary.

NOTE: Do not attempt to remove spring if resistance is met

or hub tends to rotate with shaft. Continue to rotate spool and

strike end of shaft several sharp blows with a rubber mallet until

shaft rotates freely and hub remains stationary.

6. Remove (4) bolts which secure spring motor to frame.

7. Slide spring motor off shaft and discard.

8. Install replacement spring motor, pawls and pawl springs.

NOTE: Pawl springs must be located between the pawls

and the deepest section of the shaft grooves.

Make sure that pawls and pawl springs are inserted flush

with ends of shaft and hub or they may rub against

inspection cover. See Fig 4, page 4.

9. Tighten bolts securing spring housing to reel frame.

MAINTENANCE

Periodically:

A. Inspect hose for wear and check mounting bolts and other

hardware for tightness.

B. Check for broken springs

by pulling about 2/3 hose off

reel and observing “Broken

Spring Indicators” on sides

of spring canisters (Fig. 3).

NOTE: Bearings and

springs are prelubricated

and require no periodic

maintenance.
