Quick hints and tips
• When mounting the reel, ensure that nothing
obstructs the reel from swinging freely through 180°.
• It is critical to use a 7mm drill when drilling holes to
mount the reel.
• Ensure the wall bracket is mounted vertically using a
spirit level.
• Check that the reel is locked onto the bracket before
turning on water supply.
• The hose will not rewind unless it is pulled a short
distance (15 to 30cm) away from the reel and then
walked back towards the reel.
• If the hose will not rewind, try the following;
Turn off the tap and let the water out of the hose by
opening the hose nozzle/gun.
Walk back to the reel with the end of the hose and
trigger the rewind mechanism by taking hold of the
hose near to the reel, and gently pull the hose about
15 to 30cm to release the latch.
(Ensure that nothing is obstructing the hose whilst
the rewind procedure is active.)
• Use the lock on the side of the reel to lock the hose
when not in use.
Assembly and installation
of the Auto Reel
TOOLS NEEDED:
• Flat-ended, long shaft screwdriver
• Philips, long shaft screwdriver
• Pencil
• Tape measure
• 7mm diameter masonry drill bit
• Electric drill/hammer drill
• Spirit level
SELECT A SUITABLE POSITION
FOR INSTALLATION
Fig 1.
• The reel is designed for external use and is not
suitable for use with indoor taps, unless used with
an appropriate Indoor Tap Connector
(Part No's; 2159, 2176, 2177, 2274, which are not
supplied)
• The reel should be able to swing through 180°.
Allow 65cm of clearance on both sides of the wall
bracket. (See Fig.1)
• If the hose is to be used around corners, the wall
bracket should be mounted at least 1.60m from the
corner, and a hose guide should be used
(part no; 2392, which is not supplied.)
MOUNT THE WALL BRACKET
Fig 2.
• Remove the Wall bracket (Contents B) from the reel
by releasing the locking clasp on the reel (Fig.2a).
The wall bracket can now be removed ready for
mounting.
• Important: Ensure that the wall bracket is vertical
(with the padlock loop (see fig 6. a) pointing down)
using a spirit level, and that the correct size holes
(7mm diameter and 50mm deep) are drilled
(Fig.2b).
• Use the four wall plugs and screws supplied
(Contents G). The plugs and screws supplied are
designed for use on standard brick and concrete
walls. To fix the bracket to any other surface, you
should use screws and plugs appropriate for that
surface.
CONNECT THE FEEDER HOSE
AND FITTINGS
If the feeder hose supplied is too short to reach your
tap, replace it with a good quality 12.5mm (½") hose.
Fig 3 – Attaching the Feeder Hose:
• Lay the reel on a soft surface with side
and remove the side disc using a flat headed
screwdriver (Fig.3a).
• Unscrew the hose nut from the inlet adapter (Fig.3b).
• Push the feeder hose underneath the hose bridge,
put the nut over the hose (Fig.3c).
• Push the end of the hose into the inlet teeth and
tighten the nut (Fig.3d). Ensure that the hose is
pushed all the way into the inlet. Re-fit the side disc
(Fig.3e).
Attach the hose end connector (Contents E) to the
free end of the feeder hose. Attach the water stop
connector (Contents F - Pre fitted for the Flowmax
model) to the watering hose and connect the nozzle/
gun supplied to the water stop connector (Contents
