Installation
Be sure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the reels, the weight of the lubricants, and the stress
caused by hard pulls on the service hoses. See page 33 for the dry weights of the hose reel assemblies.
CAUTION
Mounting the Hose Reel(s)
1. Select the reel bank mounting location. If the
ceilings are very high, suspend a suitable support
structure for the reels, so the hoses will be long
enough to reach your service area.
In a one-lift service bay, mount the reel bank at
least 6 ft (1.9 m) from the center line of the lift. In
a two-lift service bay, mount the reel bank so it is
centered between the lifts. See Fig. 1.
A bank of all motor oil reels should be mounted
about 5 ft (1.5 m) forward from the center line of
the lift. See Fig. 1.
A mounting bracket to secure the mounting base
to an I-beam is available. See Mounting
Accessories on page 30.

2. If you are NOT installing a hose reel enclosure,
order the Reel Mounting Base parts listed on page
30, and install the mounting channel (303) and
base plate (304) as shown in Fig. 2.
If you are installing the hose reel enclosure
(see Side and End Enclosure Kits on page 28 ),
bolt the reel base (103) to the mounting channel
(303) using the lockwashers (305) and screws
(301) that are supplied with the mounting channel.
See Fig. 4.

3. If you are installing permanent supply lines,
drill 1.5 in. (38 mm) diameter holes through the
ceiling toward the inlet side of the reels.
4. Slide the hose reel onto the mounting base,
and install the hold-down plate (104 or 302) and
capscrew (105 or 301). Tighten the screw firmly.
See Fig. 4.
5. Connect the supply line to the inlet hose of the
reel.
NOTE: All hose reels listed in this manual that
come with hoses also come with a Hose Inlet Kit.
See Hose Inlet Kits on page 29.
