This document describes a Goodyear Retractable Air Hose Reel with a 50' air hose, designed for automatic rewind and featuring a locking ratchet mechanism. It is an officially licensed Goodyear product, manufactured by Michigan Industrial Tools.

Function Description:

The Goodyear Retractable Air Hose Reel is a spring-driven device that automatically rewinds and stores a 50-foot air hose. It features a locking ratchet mechanism with six locking positions per revolution, allowing the user to pull out the desired length of hose and have it lock in place. When the work is done, a slight tug on the hose releases the lock, and the hose slowly retracts back onto the spool. This design aims to keep workspaces tidy, prevent tripping hazards, and protect the air hose from damage. The reel is designed for use with air compressors and air tools, providing a convenient and organized way to manage air supply in various settings, including garages, workshops, and industrial environments. The device can be mounted on the floor, ceiling, or wall, offering flexibility in installation depending on the user's needs and workspace layout.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Air Hose Size: 3/8" x 50'
  • Reel Air Inlet (F): 1/4" NPT (National Pipe Taper)
  • Air Hose Outlet (M): 1/4" NPT
  • Maximum Pressure: 250 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch)
  • Maximum Air Flow: 25 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute)
  • Connectors: Brass connectors on both the hose and reel.
  • Mounting Hardware: Four 3/8" bolts and four washers are required for installation (not included).
  • Weight: The hose reel is heavy, requiring assistance for installation.

Usage Features:

  • Automatic Rewind: Spring-driven mechanism automatically retracts the hose when released.
  • Locking Ratchet: Six locking positions per revolution allow the hose to be locked at the desired length.
  • Flexible Mounting: Can be mounted on the floor, ceiling, or wall, provided it's attached to a load-bearing structural member.
  • Adjustable Hose Stopper: Allows users to set the length of hose that remains outside the reel spool, preventing full retraction if desired.
  • Adjustable Guide Arms and Hose Guide Bracket: These components can be rotated to match different mounting positions, ensuring smooth hose deployment and retraction.
  • Easy Connection: Designed for straightforward connection to an air compressor via its 1/4" NPT inlet and to air tools via its 1/4" NPT outlet. Thread-sealing tape is recommended for secure connections.
  • Safety Features: Emphasizes the importance of holding the hose end during retraction to allow it to rewind slowly, preventing injury or damage. Warnings are provided regarding the high tension of the main spring and the need for eye protection.

Maintenance Features:

  • Adjusting Recoil Tension: Instructions are provided for increasing or decreasing the spring tension to optimize hose retraction. This involves unlatching the reel spool and rotating it counterclockwise (to increase tension) or clockwise (to decrease tension) as viewed from the air inlet side.
  • Replacing Air Inlet Valve O-Rings: Detailed steps are given for replacing worn O-rings in the air inlet valve swivel connector, which typically involves removing a retaining ring and sliding off the swivel collar.
  • Replacing Hose: The manual outlines a comprehensive procedure for replacing the entire 50-foot air hose. This includes securing the reel, disconnecting air supply, fully extending and locking the spool, unscrewing the hose clamp, disconnecting the hose from the air outlet valve, removing the old hose, transferring the hose guard spring, hose clamp, and hose stopper to the new hose, and then re-threading and connecting the new hose.
  • Replacing Spring: This is a critical maintenance task due to the high tension of the main spring. The instructions emphasize completely relieving spring tension before attempting to remove the spring cover. The process involves removing the reel from its mounting, disassembling specific support and guide arm components, carefully removing the main spring hub, and then replacing the worn main spring with a new one, ensuring proper engagement and applying new grease if needed.
  • Regular Checks: Users are advised to periodically check the hose for excessive wear and inspect hose connections for air leaks to ensure safe and efficient operation.
  • Parts List: A detailed parts list with corresponding numbers is provided to facilitate identification and ordering of replacement components.

The manual strongly advises users to read and understand the entire manual before assembling or using the hose reel, as failure to follow instructions or warnings could result in personal injury and/or property damage. It also highlights that installation, especially lifting the heavy reel, should be done with assistance.
