b. Pull out hose until reel latches.
c. Remove four bolts holding guide arm to support base.
d. Reposition guide arm and securely fasten four bolts.
2 To mount reel to a solid structure you will need four 7/16" (M12) bolts, washers, and nuts.
Four masonry bolts may be used depending on mounting application. Mounting hardware
is not provided. The mounting base of the reel has two ½" (12 mm) slots and two ½" (12 mm)
holes. Mounting patterns will vary depending on model.

bolts and nuts.
Installation
1. Apply thread sealant to inlet hose and connect to the swivel joint on reel.
Note: A swivel type connector is required on supply line.
It is important to use a "flexible" inlet hose. Do not use solid piping or restrain the inlet
hose.
2. Flush some product through the system before connecting inlet hose to the source. Connect
end to supply source.
3. If reel includes hose (Otherwise, See Installation of Hose), flush some product through system
before connecting end fitting, nozzle, or tool.
4. Apply thread sealant to outlet hose fitting. Connect end, nozzle, or tool as desired.
5. If hose stopper adjustment is required to allow easy reach of end fitting or tool. Latch reel at
approximate desired location; loosen (two) ball stop bolts. Move ball stop and tighten bolts.
Unlatch reel.
Operational Check
1. Check reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out hose. A clicking noise will be heard
after each half revolution of the drum.
2. Latch the reel. Pull out the hose and allow it to slightly retract after the first, second or third
"click" is heard.
3. Unlatch the reel. Slowly pull the hose until the clicking noise stops, and then allow the hose
to retract. The hose stopper should rest against the roller hose guide.
