The device is a Goodyear Spring Driven Air Hose Reel, designed for efficient storage and deployment of air hoses in various work environments. It features a robust construction and a spring-driven mechanism for automatic hose retraction, enhancing safety and organization in the workspace.
Function Description:
The Goodyear Spring Driven Air Hose Reel is primarily used to manage air hoses, preventing tangles, trips, and damage to the hose. The spring-driven mechanism allows for smooth and controlled extension and retraction of the hose. When the hose is pulled out, a "clicking" noise indicates the latching mechanism engaging, allowing the hose to be locked at a desired length. To retract the hose, it is pulled slightly further until the clicking stops, then released to allow the spring to rewind it automatically. This system helps maintain a tidy work area, prolongs the life of the hose, and improves operational efficiency. The reel can be mounted on a wall or ceiling, offering flexibility in installation to suit different workspace layouts. It also includes a double adjustment function for the latch spring, allowing users to choose between a locking function for fixed hose lengths or a non-lock function for free movement of the hose.

- Hose I.D.: 3/8" (9.5mm)
- Hose Length: 15m (50ft)
- Dimensions: 261 [10.3"] height, 445 [17.5"] width, 191 [7.5"] depth.
-
Model 27537203G:
- Max Pressure: 300 PSI (20 Bar)
- Hose Working Temperature: -40~80°C (-40~176°F)
- Hose Material: Hybrid Polymer
- Hose I.D.: 3/8" (9.5mm)
- Hose Length: 20m (65ft)
- Dimensions: 261 [10.3"] height, 490 [19.3"] width, 199 [7.8"] depth.
All models share a common working pressure of 300 PSI (20 Bar) and a wide operating temperature range, making them suitable for diverse environments. The use of Hybrid Polymer for the hose material suggests good flexibility, durability, and resistance to various conditions. The mounting base for all models features three 8.5mm drilled holes for secure installation.
Usage Features:
- Automatic Retraction: The spring-driven mechanism ensures automatic and controlled retraction of the hose, reducing clutter and potential hazards.
- Latching Mechanism: The reel features a latching system that allows the hose to be locked at various desired lengths, preventing it from retracting unintentionally during use.
- Adjustable Spring Tension: Users can adjust the spring tension by adding or removing wraps of hose from the spool to achieve the desired retraction force. Adding wraps increases tension, while removing wraps decreases it.
- Hose Stopper Adjustment: The hose stopper can be adjusted to a position close to the hose guide, allowing for precise control over the length of hose extended.
- Double Adjustment Function: A unique feature allowing the latch spring to be adjusted for either a continuous locking function (hose locks at any desired length) or a non-lock function (hose moves freely without locking).
- Flexible Mounting Options: The reel can be mounted on a wall or ceiling, providing versatility for installation in different work settings. For overhead ceiling mounting, it is recommended to install the reel at most 10 ft/3m above the floor.
- Easy Connection: The reel is designed for straightforward connection to a supply line and tools/nozzles, with recommendations to use Teflon tape or pipe sealant for secure, leak-free connections.
- Safety Warnings: The manual emphasizes the importance of reading and understanding all instructions, using proper eye protection, keeping children away from the work area, and ensuring the reel is properly installed and maintained. It also warns against opening the cover due to the dangerous preloaded springs.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Inspection: Users are advised to check the reel for proper working order and clean the hose with a damp cloth to remove dirt and ensure correct rewinding.
- Cleaning Guidelines: The hose should be cleaned with a cloth dipped in warm water. It is explicitly stated not to use detergents or solvents that could be incompatible with the cable-winder materials.
- System Pressure Management: Before servicing the reel, it is crucial to bleed fluid/gas pressure from the system. If a leak occurs or the reel ceases to unwind or rewind, system pressure must be removed immediately.
- Grounding: Ensure that the reel, hose, and equipment being serviced are properly grounded.
- Professional Servicing: Dismantling the unit by unskilled personnel is discouraged due to the hazards associated with preloaded springs.
- Warranty: The manufacturer provides a 24-month warranty against defects in material and craftsmanship from the date of purchase, excluding hose and O-ring parts. The warranty covers replacement or repair of defective material when returned freight prepaid. It does not cover damage caused by accident, misuse, or faulty installation, and requires the reel to be installed and maintained in compliance with the instructions.
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section to address common issues such as the hose not retracting, fluid leaks from the swivel, or the reel not latching, providing possible causes and corrective actions. This guide helps users diagnose and resolve minor problems, such as adding spring tension, replacing damaged components, or checking for proper hose length and connections.
