If the roller (12) requires replacement, grind the
head off the roller pin (11), tap the pin out of the
guard and remove the roller.
To remove the nozzle (8) from the hose, tap the roll
pin (5) out of the nozzle and separate the nozzle
from the hose and strap (6).
Inspect the hose assembly for cuts,
punctures or severe abrasion. Replace
the complete hose assembly if there is
any possibility of leakage or exposure
of the integral steel tape.
Do not try to separate the tape or hose guard from
the hose. If the hose, tape or guard are damaged,
the compete hose assembly must be replaced; in-
dividual parts are not available.
Reel Disassembly
(Figure 4)
With the hose assembly (5, Figure 1) removed, use
an open ended wrench on the hex fitting on the
bottom of the swivel (12) while using another open
ended wrench to unscrew the sight tube assembly
from the swivel. Slide the sight tube assembly
down through the grommet (14).
It is not necessary to disassemble the sight tube
assembly unless the glass gauge is broken. If the
glass gauge is to be replaced, unscrew the elbow
(22) from the close nipple in the bottom of the
gauge. Unscrew the close nipple from the bottom
of the gauge and the adaptor from the top of the
gauge.
Disengage the machine screw (2) from the reel
spindle (1) and remove the thumbscrew (5) clamp
(6) and wire (4).
To remove the swivel (12), immobilize the reel
spindle and unscrew the swivel from the spindle.
To remove the reel discs (7) from the base (17), re-
move the snap ring (3), spread the top of the base
assembly slightly, and lift the assembled spindle
and discs from the base. Remove the washers (11)
from the spindle.
If replacement of the pipe assembly (19) or reel
spindle is required, remove the hardware (9 and
10) and separate the discs and spacers (8). Re-
move the internal pipe fittings as required.
If the spring (15) requires replacement, remove the
cotter pin (16) from the base assembly (17) and
pull the clip from the base.
Reel Reassembly
(Figure 4)
If removed, position the spring (15) in the base and
secure it by sliding the cotter pin (16) over the clip,
then through the hole in the bottom of the base.
Spread the end of the cotter pin.
Clean the sight tube assembly parts, pipe assem-
bly parts, spindle and swivel fitting with fresh clean-
ing solvent.
Most cleaning solvents are toxic and
flammable. Use them only in a well ven-
tilated area free from excessive heat,
sparks, and flame. Read and follow all
precautions printed on solvent contain-
ers.
NOTE
Apply Loctite Pipe Sealant with Teflon" or equiva-
lent compound to all pipe thread connections be-
fore reassembly.
If removed, reassemble the pipe assembly (19) to
the spindle (1). Position the two discs (7) on the
spindle and secure them with the spacers (8) and
hardware (9 and 10).
Position the washers (11) on the spindle. Slightly
spread the top of the base assembly and position
the reel in the holes in the sides of the base. Screw
the swivel (12) into the spindle.
Secure the reel to the base with the snap ring (3).
Secure the clamp (6, thumbscrew (5) and wire as-
sembly (4) to the spindle with the machine screw
(2).
If the glass sight gauge is being replaced, hand
