Circuit Breaker Feature:

Your Auto Rewind Hose Reel is protected from overloading on the motor by a circuit breaker. If the

loading on the unit causes to much current to draw on the motor, a circuit breaker will trip to protect
the motor from damage.

Causes for overloading on the motor?

• Hose caught in landscaping while rewinding.
• Prolonged use.
• Water pressure exceeds 110 psi.

If the circuit breaker trips during use, the unit will shut off for approximately 30 seconds. After this short

waiting period, the Auto Rewind Hose Reel will reset itself and you may begin normal use.

Trouble Shooting:

Trouble: If battery does not charge.

• When charger is plugged into the wall, the red light will indicate that it is charging. If your light does

not come on, your battery is not charging. Adjust the plugs to be sure it is securely inserted. If nothing
happens, contact YRD.

• Check power to outlet
• Check connection from battery charger to battery. It should have a snug fit.

Trouble: If motor runs but hose does not rewind

• Check to make sure the control lever located next to the gear box is positioned on the “Rewind”

position.

Trouble: If hose does not unwind easily.

• Check to make sure the control lever located next to the gear box is positioned on the “Unwind”

position.

• Turn off water pressure and open nozzle on end of hose and pull hose.

Trouble: If hose starts to rewind and then stops before completely rewinding into reel.

• Check to make sure the hose is not tangled inside the reel.
• Check to make sure the hose is not tangled on an obstacle preventing it from being rewound into the

reel.

• Wait 30 seconds then attempt to rewind. The Auto Rewind Hose Reel is protected from overload on

the motor with a circuit breaker feature. Should the hose have too much resistance rewinding the
circuit breaker will trip to protect the motor. It will take approximately 30 seconds to reset.

• Turn off water pressure and open the spray nozzle to release pressure from the hose, then attempt to

rewind the hose.

Trouble: If hose leaks.

• Check to make sure the connection inside the reel is tight.
• Disconnect hose from inside of reel and re-attach to hose reel. Be careful not to cross thread the
