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.  
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  
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.  
reels so equipped, could result in serious personal injury.  
MAINTENANCE  
Periodically:  
A. Inspect hose for wear and check mounting bolts and other  
hardware for tightness.  
WARNING

instructions on page 4.  
WARNING  
2. Insure that machinery to be serviced by reel is at  
position closest to reel.  
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.  
3. Securely mount reel in desired position using 1/2"(M12).  
Be sure spool is aligned with hose run.

shaft and spring hub. (See Figure 1).  
1. Turn off supply pressure to reel.  
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.  
2. Insure that machinery to be serviced by reel is at  
position closest to reel. Disconnect hose from  
machine connections.

HOSE INSTALLATION  
HOSE REMOVAL  
Use the following procedure to remove worn or damaged hoses  
from reel prior to installation of new hoses.  
Use the following procedure to replace hoses or if reel was  
ordered without hoses. Refer to HOSE INSTALLATION  
REFERENCE DRAWING, below.  
1. Move machine serviced by reel to a position closest to  
reel. Spring will still be under pre-tension at this point.  
1. Unspool new hose from shipping spool and lay out to  
eliminate twist.  
2. Turn off supply pressure to reel.  
NOTE: This step is not essential, but will aid in winding  
operation of the reel and prolong hose life.  
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).  
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. Unwrap hoses without allowing spool to turn.  
5. Disconnect hoses from elbows inside spool wrapper.  
6. Install new hoses following directions below.  
4. Complete working end connections.  
5. Pretension reel and complete installation as  
described in REEL INSTALLATION section.
