IMPORTANT:
If the hose becomes tangled and will not retract - slowly pull out the hose past the tangled
section and then allow the hose to slowly retract while guiding the hose back into the hose reel.
Always ensure the hose is clean and not twisted.
ADJUSTING THE STOP-BALL
The location of the hose stopper can be
adjusted to allow more hose or less hose to
be exposed when fully rewound.
1. Pull out the desired length of hose, ensuring
the hose reel is in the lock position.
2. Open the latch on the hose stopper and
move it to the desired position on the hose.
3. Re-latch the hose stopper at desired
position
CAUTION:
Always make sure the hose reel is in the
locked position before removing the hose
stopper and make sure the hose stopper is
securely fastened before unlocking the reel.
ADJUSTING THE
TENSION SPRING
Over time it is natural for the spring to lose
some tension. The tension can easily be
adjusted and tightened to provide years of
service.
CAUTION:
Only adjust the spring when the hose is fully
rewound. Do Not Over-tighten
1. Using a flat head screw driver, remove the
side cover marked “Coil Spring Adjustment”
by prying it open where indicated.
2. Fold out the crank handle.
3. Turn the crank clockwise to increase
the tension, counter clock-wise to reduce
the tension.
4. Turn the crank handle five times in the
desired direction. Check the spring tension
by pulling a short length of the hose and
letting it rewind.
5. Repeat this process until there is just
enough tension to fully rewind the hose
6. The hose tension should only to tensioned
to the point where the hose stopper “just”
makes it back to the hose reel. If the hose
is returning to hard and fast to the hose reel
then the tension is too much and needs to
be adjusted accordingly. (Over tensioning
will not be covered by warranty)
