Decreasing Spring Tension
The spring is always under great tension, which if
released in an uncontrolled manner could cause seri-
ous injury.
•
Never allow the reel to spin freely. Uncontrolled
spinning could cause serious injury if you are hit by
the hose.
•
Always grasp the tool firmly with both hands when
adjusting tension. Spring tension can cause the
tool to move violently.

The reel must be bolted securely in place when
making adjustments.
