Installation
A flexible hose connection must be used be-
tween the hose reel inlet and the source of
supply to prevent possible misalignment and
binding. Series 80000, D80000, SD, and
9000: the swivel union is packed separately in
the reel carton, use teflon tape or pipe sealant
to assure a satisfactory seal when installing
swivel. Do not over tighten.
Mounting & Guide Arm
Adjustment
The hose reel is equipped for universal mount-
ing so that it can be mounted on a structurally
sound floor, wall, or ceiling; whichever pro-
vides maximum performance. The hose guide
arm must be rotated to a position that allows
the hose to feed through the roller brackets
with minimal bending. Replace the fasteners.
When rotating guide arm, the U-bolt must be
placed in the proper location, otherwise the
reel might "latch or lock out" during use.
Refer to complete version of online manual
for proper U-Bolt locations (not applicable for
Series RT, DP5000, DP7000, or SD).
Lubrication
Hose reel spring and bearings are factory-
lubricated and require no further lubrication.
