Speedaire Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Stainless Steel Industrial Hose Reel ½”
Operation
1. Check reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out the hose. A “clicking” noise will be heard three times every
half revolution of the drum.
2. To latch the reel, pull out the hose and allow it to retract after hearing the first, second, or third “click”.
3. To unlatch the reel, slowly pull out the hose until the “clicking” noise stops about ½ of a revolution, and then let the
hose retract until the hose stop rests against the hose guide.
To avoid damage to the reel or personal injury always hold on to the hose while it is rewinding.
4.Periodically check the hose condition for wear or damage and check the swivel fitting for leakage.
Replace any worn, damaged, or leaking parts.
Maintenance and Repair
Spring Tension Adjustment
If reel will not wind hose up completely it may be necessary to adjust the tension of the spring.
1. Pull out approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of hose and allow the drum to latch.
2. Remove hose stopper from hose and feed hose back through guide.
3. Wrap the pulled hose one time around the drum to increase tension or unwrap hose one time to decrease
tension.
4. Reinsert hose through guide and install hose stopper onto hose end. Securely tighten hose stopper bolts.
5. Unlatch the drum and check tension. Pull hose from reel and adjust stopper position if necessary.
The spring tension can spin the reel quickly and with force.
Swivel Seal Replacement
1. Turn off air supply and carefully release pressure in hose. Disconnect supply line from swivel inlet.
2. Remove swivel assembly from reel axle.
3. Remove retainer from swivel and take apart. NOTE: You may want to remove swivel from reel hose end but this
is not necessary unless a new swivel is being installed.
4. Replace the seals and reassemble swivel.
5. Use thread sealant on swivel thread fitting, reconnect the swivel thread fitting with axle.
6. Reconnect inlet supply line.
Hose Replacement
1. Turn off air supply to reel and carefully release pressure in hose.
