Connection to the pipework system

The reel must be connected to the pipework system with inlet hose only,
minimum 1.0 m. The hose is to go through the ring* which shall be fitted on
one of the brackets, see Figure 4. Check that the hose is not twisted or strained
after connection.
A stop valve is to be fitted on the pipe system before the hose connection.

Ratchet mechanism

The hose reel is delivered with a ratchet mechanism which retains the hose in
the required outdrawn position, see Figure 5. The ratchet will disengage if the
hose is drawn out a little further and the hose then recoils to the drum. It is to
be noted that the hose is to be held by the hand as long as possible during the
recoiling.
The ratchet function can be disengaged by removing the ratchet. In that case
the hose must first be completely recoiled.

Selecting hose

When selecting hose, see dimension and working pressure on the reels type
label. Also see Figure 1.

Hose fitting

See Figure 8.
1. Place the reel on a suitable working bench.
2. Important! Ensure that there is no tension in the spring.
3. Remove the plastic cover. Feed the hose through the reel outlet and attach
it to the nipple on the drum shaft. Replace the plastic cover.
4. Mount the hose-stop close to the outer limit of the hose.
5. Reel the hose on to the reel by turning the spring loaded hub with a
tommy bar, see Figure 6, item 5. Once the hose has been wound on to the
drum ensure that the right tension has been obtained by turning the hub a
further 3 revolutions for 3/8" hose or 6 revolutions for 1/2" hose.
6. Fit the inlet hose, min. length 1.0 m.
7. Fit the reel, see Chapter '4 Mounting instruction' and
'5 Connection to the pipework system'.
8. Check that the required length of hose can be unreeled without stretching
the spring to its limit.
9. Turn on the supply and check that the hoseconnections don't leak.
