MOUNTING
Caution: Unless reel was specified differently when ordering, maxi-

1. Unpack and inspect reel for damage. Turn by hand to check for
smooth operation. Check for completeness.
2. Configure reel for top, side or bottom hose dispensing by remov-
ing the bolts (1) from one side of the guide arm bracket (2).
Position guide arm bracket to desired location and replace nuts.
3. Position reel on floor, wall, or ceiling. Secure into place using four
(customer supplied) bolts (3).
INSTALLING THE OUTPUT CABLE
1. Remove the three outer nuts (1) on the collector ring cover, and remove the cover (2).
2. Strip 1 1/8" of insulation from the output cable (3), and insert the cable around the reel spool (not through the guide arm open-
ing).
3. Add protective tubing around opening in spool. Next route the input cable through the opening in the spool, through the opening
in the collector ring base casting (4), then through the strain relief (5).
4. Continue threading cable until stripped end of cable is between the 2 clamp plates (6), tighten nuts/screws of the clamp plates
until the cable is securely captured between the plates.
5. Tighten the strain relief (5). Replace collector ring cover (2) and secure with three outer nuts (1).
6. Fasten cable to spool by capturing with u-bolt (7) and then tightening to spool with nuts.
7. Using an ohmmeter, check for ground faults.
8. Wind cable onto spool by squeezing through gap between spool and guide arm (8).
9. Once cable is wound on the spool add additional turns (2-3 should be sufficient) to add tension to cable.
10. Add bumper (9) to cable at desired location.
