Installation
6. Adjust the spring tension of the reel.
Hose Reels shipped with hoses come from the
factory with the tension pre-set for a typical
installation. To adjust for more or less tension, see
page 13.
Wearing heavy gloves, firmly grasp the outside
edge of the reel flange (40) with both hands. See
Fig. 3. Wind the reel the proper number of turns,
rotating it in the direction shown in Fig. 3, and stop
only at latching locations. Stop the reel where
there is access to the hose swivel (34) (see Fig. 4)
and where the reel is securely latched.
WARNING
Always wear heavy gloves when you adjust the
spring tension to protect your hands from being cut
on the hose reel.
Check the spring tension; the hose must pull out
fully and retract fully. Wrap ONE more loop,
extend the hose, and latch it. Do this as many
times as necessary until the spring has the desired
tension.
