heavy gauge materials. Each reel is
supplied with a locking ratchet to hold
the desired length of hose.
1. Hold entire unit up against the wall
where you are mounting, (or, if
necessary, disassemble at the unions

2. Mark and drill twelve 1/4" holes,
using the pattern on no.18.
CAUTION: Mounting bolts must
engage wall structure suitable for
loads applied by this unit with
consideration given to forces which
will be applied during use.
No.11 has two 1/2" drilled holes, and
two 1/2" wide slots for easy installa-

Operation: Hose Reel
1. Check the no.11 for correct
operation by slowly pulling out hose.
A "clicking" noise will be heard after
each half-revolution of the drum.
2. To latch no.11, pull out the hose
and allow it to retract after the first,
second or third "click" is heard.
3. To unlatch, slowly pull the hose
until the "clicking" noise stops, then
allow the hose to retract. The hose
stopper should rest against the hose
guide.
WARNING: Do not allow the hose to
retract without restraining the recoil
speed. Never let go of the hose when
rewinding.
4. Periodically check the hose for
wear, also check the swivel for
possible leaks.
