the drum with the furrow. The variation of trajectory must be always progressive.
When the tube is unwound to follow
the contour of an obstacle (electric post,
dwelling, various buildings, etc..) The variation of
trajectory must be always progressive. Never
make an angle greater than to 90° on the entire length
of the tube. Following its track, the tube will roll up
avoiding the obstacles.
The first 60 meters must be aligned
- it is very likely that the tube is not always aligned with the
machine; the requirements of the land sometimes oblige some
curves. It is important that the first 60 mt. of unwound tube
are aligned. The disregard of this limitation may break the
fork or levelwind and may damage the tube.
- Harness the tractor to the trolley, and unwind
the PE hose slowly and regularly (pic.14) until
the white part painted on the drum appears (pic.16)

It is imperative to leave at least one wrap of hose
on the drum to avoid the distortion of the hose at its connection.
When starting a new hosereel for the first time. It is important
that the tube be pulled nearly all the way out in order to tighten
the new tube on the drum.
Never transport the hoseReel with the anti-return pawl disengaged! The
tubing will become loose and tangled. Do not attempt to operate if there
are any coils of tube that are loose or misplaced. If loose coils of tube are noticed after pulling the tube out,
they must be tightened up by rotating the spool with the hand crank. If this is not possible, pull all of
the tube out before attempting to rewind the tube. Never try to move or relocate the machine if the tube is
not fully rewound onto the machine. Never run over the tube with any kind of vehicle and avoid pinching or
pulling the tube around objects. Make it a point to never bend the tube sharper than 15 times the diameter
of the tube. Avoid using the PTO or engine drive to rewind the tube when it is un-pressurized. When the tube
is not pressurized the tube flattens and the rewind mechanism can not function properly. Keep the tube
pressurized when rewinding!
- use of the brake: At the time of unwinding you must adjust the brake. The brake must be tightened
sufficiently to avoid the PE tube relaxing on the drum.
- During unwinding, the spool must stopped turning at the same moment that the tractor stops pulling.
