5. Before starting the equipment
The machine is supplied without batteries
and without a charger!
Important! The GE-HR 18/30 WH Li cordless
hose reel comes without a garden hose (7). To
use the cordless hose reel you need a garden
hose with a diameter of approx. 12.5 mm (½ ") and
a maximum length of 30 m. Install a garden hose
as described in "7.2 Changing the garden hose".
Select a point of installation where you can con-
nect the connecting hose with the quick-lock cou-
pling to a water tap (home waterworks or other
hose pipe) without the connecting hose being
placed under any tension. Make allowance for
the length of the connection hose for the cordless
hose reel which is 1.5 m. The hose reel must not
be connected to and operated from water pipes
without a water tap or a stopcock. Select a loca-
tion for the cordless hose reel where there is as
little direct sunshine as possible.
5.1 Fitting the wall bracket (Fig. 4)
Danger! Check that there are no electric cables
or other installations (such as water pipes) near
the drill holes. Make sure that the equipment is
secured fi rmly and horizontal to the wall. Use only
suitable fasteners on a wall capable of bearing
the load.
The supplied dowels and screws are suitable for
the following: concrete, natural stone with a dense
structure, solid brick, solid limestone bricks, solid
lightweight concrete bricks and aerated concrete.
Arrange for the correct orientation of the wall
bracket for you to hang in the hose reel later. We
recommend a mounting height of approx. 0.7 to
1.2 m for the wall bracket.
1. Mark the holes for the wall bracket.
2. Use a 10 mm drill bit to drill holes in the wall.
3. Insert dowels (15).

4. Secure the wall bracket with the fastening
screws (13) and the washers(14).
5.2 Fitting the cordless hose reel (Fig. 5)
1. Using both hands, insert the cordless hose
reel (1) into the wall bracket (12).
2. The cordless hose reel can be swiveled
through 180°.
Important! There is a risk of pinching bet-
ween the cordless hose reel and the wall
bracket.
3. Use a matching water connection adapter
(16) to connect the connection hose (10) to
the water tap.
5.3 Adjusting the stopper on the garden hose
(Fig. 6)
Undo the screws on the stopper (6) of the harden
hose (7) and refi t in the position required. The
hose reel is not allowed to be used without a stop-
per on the garden hose.
5.4 Fitting the battery (Fig. 7)
Open the battery cover.
Press the pushlock button of the battery as shown
in Fig. 7 and push the battery into the mount pro-
vided. When the battery is positioned as in Fig.
7, make sure that the pushlock button latches in
place! To remove the battery, proceed in reverse
order!
5.5 Charging the battery (Fig. 8)
1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.
Do this by pressing the pushlock button.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as
that marked on the rating plate of the battery
charger. Insert the power plug of the charger
(18) into the socket outlet. The green LED will
begin to blink.
3. Insert the battery pack (17) into the battery
charger (18).
4. In the section entitled „Charger indicator" you
will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED
display on the charger.
The battery can become a little warm during the
charging. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:
•
Is there voltage at the power socket?
•
Is there good contact at the charging con-
tacts?
