tightening them securely to ensure a solid, rigid attachment. (Figure 1)
Connecting the inlet hose

2. Thread male connector of supply line into 90° elbow located at the back of the reel. Tighten securely. (Figure 2)

2. Thread male connector of hose into 90° elbow located within the spool. Tighten securely. (Figure 3)
CAUTION:
Fully extend and charge hose before winding onto reel. Momentarily open control valve, when initially charging to purge hose of
gases. When fluid appears at control valve, close valve. This prevents flattening of the hose and excessive pressure on the drum
when fluid supply is reinitialized at a later time.
