SET-UP & CONNECTION
• Unit must be securely mounted on a wall, ceiling, floor, workbench etc, capable of holding the static weight of the unit (15.4 lbs. [7.0 kg]) plus significant
pulling stresses from operation. The use of 1/2” bolts or lag screws with substantial washers, to fasten supplied mounting bracket to a structural member,
is highly recommended.
• If placing unit on a studded wall, the use of a 6” x 3/4” board capable of spanning a minimum of 2 studs is required as a mounting surface.
• If attaching to a hollow block wall, the use of a 6” x 3/4” x 12” board affixed to the wall using proper anchors with the load spread is required as
a mounting surface.
• It is best to locate the Reel as close to your compressor as possible to minimize PSI and CFM drop through additional hoses and fittings.
• Use Teflon tape or thread sealant when making connections to the Hose Reel inlet fitting and adding fittings to hose outlet. Do not overtighten to
avoid component damage.
OPERATION
LATCHING REEL:
- Slowly and carefully pull hose out to desired length. Once desired length is reached, reduce the pulling force on the hose and the reel will lock in place.
Do not let go of hose until it is locked into place.
RETRACTING HOSE:
- Slowly and carefully pull hose out beyond latch point (point at which the reel releases). Do not let go of hose. This unit is designed with an auto rewind
mechanism which will slowly return the airline into the reel. Guide hose slowly and allow it to feed into the reel. When the stop block reaches the guide
rollers, the hose can be released.
USAGE TIPS
HOSE FREE LENGTH:
- The length of hose that extends beyond the Guide Rollers is factory set at 16” however it can be adjusted. To do so, pull the hose out several feet and
allow it to latch in place. Loosen the two Philips head screws in the Stop Block, slide to desired location on hose then re-tighten the screws.
MAINTENANCE
• Keep hose clean from dirt and oil to maintain proper operation.
