SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
User servicing of the reel is limited to replacing the input/
output hoses or swivel only. Refer all other repairs to an autho-
rized service person or directly to Reelcraft Industries, Inc.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage and may void the warranty.
Caution: Rewind hose on reel, then bleed pressure from sys-
tem before performing the following procedures.
1. Replace hoses in accordance with procedures given in
"Installation Instructions" section of this manual.
REPLACING THE SWIVEL
Caution: Remove supply line pressure before performing the
following procedure.
1. Remove supply line from swivel.
2. Remove swivel assembly from inlet shaft.
3. Apply thread sealant to threaded connection and re-install
swivel assembly to inlet shaft by reversing steps 1 & 2.
ADJUSTMENTS
Caution: Use extreme caution; reel under tension. Avoid
releasing latch mechanism. If necessary, adjust spring tension
of reel by adding or removing wraps of hose from spool, one
wrap at a time, until desired tension is obtained. Add wraps
to increase tension. Remove wraps to decrease tension. When
adding wraps of hose, be careful not to exceed the winding
mechanisms spring capacity. Add just enough wraps of hose to
achieve the desired tension. Damage to the winding mechanism
will result if spring is over-tensioned.
