Replacing Air Inlet Valve O-rings

The O-ring seals inside the air inlet valve assembly wear over time. If leaking around air

inlet valve is observed, O-rings should be replaced. An O-ring replacement kit is shipped

with this hose reel. Store in a safe place for future use.
1. Disconnect incoming air supply. Unscrew air inlet valve assembly (part 11) from axle

(part 23) by fitting wrench onto hex portion of valve and turning counterclockwise.

2. Remove retaining ring (part 13) and slide air inlet valve swivel connector (part 12) off

from swivel connector.

3. Remove worn O-rings from air inlet valve and replace with new parts.

Reverse above procedure to re-assemble.

INCLUDED KIT

For easy installation and

best seal, thinly coat

o-rings with petroleum jelly.

Replacing Locking Pawl

Sometimes with heavy use, the locking pawl can begin to wear causing poor engagement with ratchet teeth. This can

result in slipping or difficulty locking. It is easy to replace and can be done while hose reel is mounted.
1. Reel should be in fully retracted position ("home"), with hose stopper resting against guide roller collar. Be sure

locking pawl is not engaged with ratchet teeth, and that there is enough clearance between pawl and teeth to allow

free and easy removal and installation of locking pawl assembly.

2. Unhook return spring from anchor point. Loosen and remove lock nut. Remove old locking pawl assembly from

support leg.

3. Insert new locking pawl assembly through support leg. Thread on lock nut and tighten until snug. Hook end of

return spring through anchor point.

4. Verify function of locking pawl by pulling hose out and locking reel in position.
