Adjusting Spring Tension
WARNING
Always wear heavy gloves when you adjust the
spring tension to protect your hands from being cut
on the hose reel.
Adjust the spring tension in a hose reel assembly that
is already mounted as follows:
1. Pull the hose out several feet, and engage the
latch.
2. Increase or decrease spring tension as follows:
D To increase spring tension, pull some of the
slack hose in through the rollers, and wrap a
loop of hose around the reel flange.
D To decrease spring tension, unwrap a loop of
hose from the reel flange, and pull the slack out
through the rollers.
3. Check the spring tension; the hose must pull out
fully and retract fully. Wrap or unwrap more loops,
one at a time, until the spring has the desired
tension.
NOTE: Do not put so many loops onto the reel that the
spring winds up tightly before the hose is fully
extended. Remove loops to decrease tension.
CAUTION
A spring that is wound too tightly prevents the hose
from getting pulled out all the way, which puts
excessive strain on the hose and reel spring and
could damage the reel.
