Safety
1. Ensure that the reel has been properly in-
stalled before connecting input and output
hoses or connecting to power supply.
2. Bleed fluid/gas from system before servicing.
3. Before connecting reel to supply line, ensure
that pressure does not exceed maximum
working pressure rating of reel.
4. Remember, even low pressure is very danger-
ous and can cause injury or death.
5. If a leak occurs in the hose or reel, remove
supply line pressure immediately.
6. For motor driven models, check for faulty
supply wires or hoses before operating.
7. Pull hose from reel by grasping the hose
itself, not the control valve.
8. Ensure that reel, hose and equipment being
serviced are properly grounded. Use an ohm-
meter to check ground continuity.
9. If reel is motor driven, be careful of chain/
sprocket drive system. Keep hands clear. Do
not wear loose fitting clothing.
10. If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove
system pressure immediately. Do not pull or
jerk on hose!
11. Treat and respect a hose reel as any other
piece of machinery, observing all common
safety practices.
Installation
A flexible hose connection must be used between
the hose reel inlet and the source of supply to pre-
vent possible misalignment and binding. Use teflon
tape or pipe sealant to assure a satisfactory seal
when installing swivel. Do not over tighten.
Mounting
Ensure that mounting surface is flat and structur-
ally sound to prevent binding on reel after it is
mounted. Position reel to mounting surface and
secure into place, using four secure fasteners (not
included). Connect supply line to swivel. Tighten
securely.
Electric Driven Reels - CAUTION: Remove all
electrical power when wiring. Do not “hot-wire”.
Observe all applicable NEC/OSHA requirements.
Consult wiring diagram (page 4) and determine
which one is applicable to your reel. Perform
electrical wiring following applicable diagram.
Air Driven Reels - WARNING: Do not exceed
100 PSI motor inlet pressure. Use an FRL or
control valve in line to adjust speed of motor.
Connect air line to motor in accordance with
diagram (page 4). To avoid damage to the air
motor, do not strike the main shaft.
Install/Replace the Hose
CAUTION: Do not connect the hose to the reel
until after the hose reel has been properly mounted.
Fully extend and charge hose before winding on to
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 initiated at a later
time.
1. Apply thread compound to all threads.
2. For Series 30000, detach outlet gooseneck
(A37000 and B37000 reels do not have a
gooseneck).
CAUTION: Do not discard/mis-
place the O-ring.
3. Route output hose through hose clamp
(Series H).
4. Hand thread male hose connector into the
outlet gooseneck. Re-connect the outlet
gooseneck to the reel. Insure that the O-ring
is properly fitted into the grooves when re-
placing the gooseneck.
Replace the Swivel
CAUTION: Remove supply line pressure before
performing the following procedure.
1. Remove supply line from swivel.
2. Remove swivel assembly from inlet shaft.
3. Install swivel assembly to inlet shaft by
reversing steps 1 and 2. Apply sealant to all
threads.
Replace/Move the Motor
CAUTION: Before replacing the chain remove all
power/pressure from the motor.
1. Disconnect wiring/air lines from motor.
2. Remove bolts securing motor mounting
bracket to reel. Remove bracket.
3. Remove bolts attaching motor mounting
bracket to motor. Remove motor.
4. Install new motor by reversing steps 1
through 3 above.
Replace the Chain
CAUTION: Before replacing the chain remove all
power/pressure from the motor.
1. Loosen (do not remove) bolts securing motor
mounting bracket in place.
2. Remove chain master-link.
3. Install new chain by reversing steps 1 and 2
above. Tighten mounting bracket bolts.
Adjust Chain Tension
CAUTION: Before adjusting the chain tension
remove all power/pressure from the motor.
Over-tensioned (tightening) of chain results in
reduced motor life. Adjust to allow between 1/4”
and 1/2” play in chain.
1. Loosen bolts (do not remove) securing motor
mounting bracket to reel.
2. Move motor mounting bracket and motor until
proper chain tension is obtained.
3. Tighten motor mounting bracket bolts.
Adjust the Reel
1. Adjust reel drag by loosening or tightening
set screw on hub casting on manual driven
reel.
