LEVELWIND retractable hose reels are designed for minimum assembly.
1) Place bracket on a flat mounting surface. With a pencil trace bracket back holes
onto surface. Use a leveling device to ensure that the bracket will be level once,
fastened. Fasten brackets to surface with screws (screws are not included).
2) Remove bracket rod (A) from bracket (B) (SEE FIG. 1).
3) Place reel into bracket making sure the reel hole is aligned with bracket end holes.
4) Insert bracket rod through the aligned holes of reel and bracket. Insert hitch-pin
clip through end of bracket rod.
5) Connect female end of lead-in hose to inlet connection on reel. Connect male end
to air or water source (SEE FIG. 2).
Operating Instructions:
LEVELWIND retractable hose reels can operate in FREERUN or can be latched every 3 ft. (91 cm) by switching to the LATCHING ZONE. Simply turn the
mode switch to desired position (SEE FIG. 3).
THE "LATCHING ZONE": LEVELWIND reels have a single latching zone. The reel can be latched for every drum revolution approx.
3 ft. (91 cm) of hose. There are audible clicking sounds as the spring loaded latch passes over the latching zone. The latching zone
flips the latch so that the latch goes into or by-passes the latching position. Pulling hose straight out off the reel "flips the latch" so it
can go into the latching position. Retracting the hose into the reel keeps the latch "flipped" so that the latch by-passes the latching
position.
LATCHING - Pull out the desired length of hose. As you are pulling out hose from the reel, listen for a "click". STOP! Don't
pull any further! If you keep pulling out hose (more than 14 in. (36 cm)) after hearing the "click", you will have pulled past the
latching zone. Now, allow the hose to go back into the reel (less than 14 in. (36 cm)) and the latch will drop into the latching
position. The reel is now latched!
RETRACTING - Assuming the latch is engaged in the latching position, pull out hose until you hear a "click" (approx. 14
in. (36 cm)). STOP! Don't pull any further! If you pull out more than 3 ft. (91 cm) of hose after hearing the " click", you will have
gone a full drum revolution and back into the latching zone where the reel will once again be latched. Now, allow the hose to
retract back into the reel.
The hose reel will continue retracting hose until it is fully retracted. If you decide to re-latch the reel while you are still retract-
ing hose, simply listen for a click. STOP! Slowly pull out hose until you hear a second click. STOP! Don't pull any further. Now,
slowly allow the hose back into the reel (less than 14 in. (36 cm)) and the latch will drop into the latching.
FREERUN MODE: The hose does not latch in this mode. Hose will automatically retract back into reel. The hose stopper position
may be adjusted to desired length for application (SEE FIGURE 4) CAUTION! Do not release the end of the hose when rewinding
as personal injury or damage could result!
