Ceiling Mounting:
The power spring tension will need to be adjusted for
the ceiling height of the building. If a bare reel has
been ordered see installation of hose instructions and
power spring adjustment on the following steps.
1. Select the mounting location. If the ceiling is very
high, suspend a suitable support structure for the
reels, so the hoses will be long enough to reach
service area.
2. Locate the mounting holes for drilling, using
measurements on previous page. If mounting
directly to H-Beam use mounting kit 2230-017
(no drilling required).
3. Adjust the outlet arm position as required by
loosening and removing the four 10-32 locknuts
(43). Once arm is positioned correctly retighten
to 80 to 90 inch pounds.
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.
6. Hose reels shipped with hoses come from the
factory with the tension preset for a typical
table/wall installation. For a ceiling installation
you will need to adjust for more or less tension,
by removing or adding one to two wraps of hose
from spool.
7. If your are installing a hose onto a Bare Reel,
connect the service hose to the swivel union
(2). Then wrap the hose loosely around the
spool. Extend the hose fully and engage the stop
pawl.
8. Wrap one to two loops around the spool, then
retract the hose again.
CAUTION:
Do Not
put so many loops onto
the reel that the power spring winds tightly before the
hose is fully extended. A power spring that has been
wound too tight stops rotating before the hose is fully
extended. This condition will wear the hose and power
spring prematurely. To decrease tension, remove one
to two loops of hose from the reel.
NOTE:
Check the power spring tension; the hose
must pull out fully and retract fully. Wrap ONE more
loop onto spool, extend the hose, and latch it Do this
as many times as necessary until the power spring
has the desired tension.
!
9. Install the hose stop and dispensing valve.
Position the hose stop so the hose extends far
enough for all operators to reach it.
CAUTION:
Always Fully Extend
hose before
pressurizing or damage may occur to side
panels.

hose Reel Mounting Plate
1. Bolt the hose reel mounting plate onto the
mounting channel.
2. Install rear bolts loosely on the mounting plate.
3. Slide the slotted side of the hose reel base into
position and hold with the integrated swing clamp
which is part of the adapter plate.
4. This leaves both hands free to install and tighten
the nuts and bolts which secure the hose reel in
final installed position.
