3. Operation
3.1 How to unwind / unroll the hose
CAUTION!
When the hose is pulled out to its full length stop pulling on it. The hose could be damaged if you pull with too
much force at this point. Pull the hose out until you reach the length you need, then let it roll up slowly to lock it
in position. If it does not lock pull it out a little further and try again until it locks in the desired position.
3.2 How to wind up / retract the hose
WARNING!
If you let go of the hose-end while retracting it, the hose will fly rapidly and out of control resulting in personal
injury or damage to nearby people or objects. Never let the hose go while retracting it. Always guide the hose-
end to the reel until it stops. When you are finished using the hose, simply pull it out to unlatch and let it retract
back into the housing to stow it away.
Attention! Guide the hose-end slowly back to reel until it comes to a stop.
4. Trouble-Shooting
4.1 The hose does not retract completely.
Make sure the reel is unlatched (see section 3.2 how to reroll the hose). Make sure the stop ball has not been moved
towards the hose end. If necessary, adjust the tension of the spring (section 5.3).
4.2 The unrolled hose cannot be retracted anymore.
Make sure that you follow the manual (section 3.2). If necessary, open the housing according the manual (section 5), check
the spring and make sure the latching lever (on the inner side of the right hand cover) moves free and is centred by its
spring. If the wind up spring is broken, the whole inner plastic roller has to be replaced (see section 5 Repairs). If snap-in
locking is required again, unscrew PT screw and follow the instructions (section 2.5) again.
4.3 The hose cannot be locked in the unrolled position.
Make sure that you follow the manual (section 3.1). If necessary, open the housing according the manual (section 5) and
make sure the latching lever (on the inner side of the right hand cover) moves free and is centred by its spring. Check if the
locking screw (section 2.5) is in use. Unscrew it if no free wheel action is required.
4.4 The problem cannot be solved.
If the above trouble-shooting procedures do not solve your problem, let the installation and hose reel be checked by an ex-
pert. Notify your dealer for inspection.
5. Maintenance / Repairs
5.1 General
Check the hose and the housing for damage or dirt contamination. Damage must be repaired immediately! Replacement of
any part must be done by a technical qualified person. Only original spare parts are to be used.
5.2 Exchanging of the hose or the roller with reroll spring
(Has to be done by a technical qualified person.)
WARNING!
If the spring comes out of its place it will unwind immediately and could seriously injure or damage yourself or
nearby people or objects. Never remove the safety plate fixed over the spring. Never try to remove the spring
from the roller.

1. Place the hose reel on the workbench with its left-hand side (thread side of axle) face down and put two wood
pieces (or similar objects) under it to stabilise.
2. Use the pliers to straighten the two ends of the safety-pin.
fig. 05
1. Set the 10mm spanner over the square part on the axle and move it slightly clockwise until the safety-pin is
unburdened.
