USER MANUAL

15M - 1/2" Industrial Auto Retracting Air Hose Reel

JEFHOSRLH15-1/2

Mounting the Reel  

The reel base is supplied with four 12.7mm (1/2’’) drilled mounting holes for mounting on a suitable flat surface. 

Using the four holes in the base, mount the reel in the desired location. Be sure to use appropriate hardware and 
tighten securely.

The reel is also supplied with a hose guide roller bracket. The bracket position may be changed depending on the reel 
mounting position.

You can follow the following procedure to change the bracket position:

1. 

Pull out some hose and let reel latch

2. 

Remove the bolls that attach the guide roller bracket to the support post

3. 

Rotate guide roller bracket to position, replace bolts, and tighten

Apply PTFE (Teflon) tape or pipe sealant to the supply line threads, attach to reel inlet and tighten securely. 

The other end of incoming line can now be connected to a suitably rated air supply source.

Check the connection for leakage, also check hose reel for correct operation.

If hose stopper adjustment is required, pull hose from reel and allow to latch at desired length. Loosen stopper bolts, 
and slide stopper to a position close to the hose guide. Tighten stopper bolts, and unlatch the reel.

Note: 

For ceiling mounting, always ensure that the reel is mounted at least 10 feet above the floor.

Fitting the Hose

1. 

Securely stabilize the reel

2. 

Facing the swivel fitting side of reel: turn the drum clockwise, by hand, until the rewind spring is tight, and drum 
has latched. As an extra precaution while installing new hose, secure drum in the latched position

3. 

Insert end of the hose through guide roller bracket, and feed through the opening in the center of the drum hub

4. 

Screw fitting into swivel and tighten   
 

Note:

To avoid damage to the swivel, use a spanner to support the swivel fitting while tightening the hose. 

5. 

Attach hose stopper on the other end of hose, near the outlet fitting

6. 

Carefully release drum latch, and slowly allow hose to wind onto the reel

Note:

The final spring tension adjustment is accomplished by adding, wraps of hose around the drum (to increase 

tension) or taking off wraps of hose (to decrease tension).
