Balcrank Premium EV Series, Operation, Installation, Maintenance And Repair Manual

Note:

A pressure relief kit is recommended on 

all Balcrank supply systems. The lack 

of installing this kit will void all product 

warranties if system fails because of 

thermal expansion.

Installation

Table/Wall Mounting:

The hose reel has been shipped ready for use 

when mounting to wall/table or mobile  appli-

cations unless specified otherwise.  If a Bare 

reel has been ordered, see installation of hose 

instructions and power spring adjustmen on 

the following pages.

1.  Select the mounting location.  Be sure the 

structure is secure and will not tip when reel is 

in operation.  Tables should be bolted to floor 

and wall should be part of building structure.

2.  Locate the mounting holes for drilling, 

using measurements on previous page.

3.  Fasten the base using bolts of a sufficient 

strength to prevent the reel from “shearing 

bolts” during operation when hose is pulled.

4.  Connect supply line to the inlet of hose 

reel.  (see figure 5).

5.  Install the hose stop and dispensing valve.  

Position the hose stop so the hose extends far 

enough for all operations.

Ceiling Mounting:

The hose reel has been shipped ready for use 

when mounting to wall/table or mobile  applica-

tions unless specified otherwise.  The outlet 

arm will need to be adjusted for ceiling mount-

ing.  (see figure 8)  The power spring tension 

will ned to be adjusted for the ceiling height of 

the building.  If If a Bare reel has been ordered, 

see installation of hose instructions and power 

spring adjustmen on the following pages.

1.  Select the mounting location.  If the ceil-

ing is very high, suspend a suitable support 

structure for the reels, so the soses will be long 

enough to reach service area.

2.  Locate the mounting holes for drilling, using 

measurements on previous page.

3.  Adjust the outlet arm position.  Before 

removing the roller ooutlet assembly and 

the top tie bracket, the power spring tension 

should be released and the uprights should 

be secured to prevent accidental separation.  

Once the outlet arm is positioned correctly 

retighten bolts 80 to 90 inch pounds.  

(Refer 

to illustrations on page 9 for further details on 

changing the outlet arm position).

4.  Fasten the base using bolts of a sufficient 

strength to prevent the reel from “shearing 

bolts” during operation when hose is pulled.

5.  Connect supply line to the inlet of hose reel.  

(see figure 5).

6.  Install the hose stop and dispensing valve.  

Position the hose stop so the hose extends far 

enough for all operations.

Be sure the mounting surface is strong enough 

to support the reels, the weight of the lubiricants, 

and the stress caused by hard pulls on the ser-

vice hoses.   See page 4 for dry weights of the 

hose reel assemblies.
