Reelcraft Series 30000 Hand Crank Hose Reels - Manual (Page 2)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Inspection
Unpack and inspect the reel for damage.
Turn the reel by hand to check for smooth
operation. Check for completeness.
Mounting of all hose reels
NOTE: Ensure that mounting surface is
flat to prevent binding on reel after it is
mounted.
1. Two 1/2” diameter mounting holes are
located at the base of each side
support panel (2 each). Mount reel
using four (customer supplied) bolts;
tightening them securely to ensure a
solid, rigid attachment.
2. Perform the following steps only after
all other installation steps, pertaining
to your particular reel, are
accomplished. Refer to page 4 for
special instructions.
NOTE: A flexible hose connection must be
used to compensate for any offset between
the supply line and the reel swivel.
3. Apply thread compound to all threads.
4. Thread male connector of supply line
into swivel. Tighten securely.
Connecting the hose
CAUTION: Do not connect the hose to the
connecting tube assembly until after hose
reel has been installed. Fully extend and
charge hose before winding on ot 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.
1. Apply thread compound to all threads.
2. Hand thread male hose connector into
connecting tube assembly.
3. Using a wrench, firmly hold onto
connecting tube assembly while
tightening hose connector.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SPARKING: When working around flam-
mable liquids such as solvents, paints,
chemicals or petroleum products, ensure
that the hose reel, hose and the equipment
being serviced are properly grounded.
Use grounded hose(s) (static wire). Use
an ohmmeter to check continuity of the
ground circuit. Fire and/or explosion can
result if proper grounding is not achieved.

clear. Do not wear loose fitting cloth-
ing. Pull hose from the reel by grasping
the hose itself, not the control handle or
swivel.
