INSERTING THE HOSE & PLACING THE DRUM AND HOSE STRAP

The inlet hose will need to stay in place, fed through the axle far enough to attach to the swivel.

  • Insert the hose before placing the drum or hose strap.
  • Make sure the drum is pushed all the way on and the front flange is facing forward.

Instructions: Feed the male end of the hose through the axle until it just shows out the front. Next take the hose strap assembly and feed the nylon strap through the rectangular opening, pushing the assembly into place.

INSTALLING THE CAM-LEVER BRAKE

ATTACHING THE HOSE TO THE SWIVEL

The inlet hose will thread into the port with the aluminum collar on the swivel.

  • The swivel can be rotated in either direction to make it easier to install onto the reel.
  • Make sure the O-ring gasket is in place before attaching the swivel.

Assembly Tip: Be sure to tighten the inlet hose firmly to prevent this connection from developing a leak. Use pliers to tighten more securely.

Instructions: Using a firm grip on the swivel's aluminum collar, attach it to the inlet hose. Then attach the swivel to the reel's axle. Make sure the hex head of the screw is facing up toward the opening in the front flange. Feed the hex key wrench through the opening in the flange to tighten the aluminum collar onto the axle of the reel.

Attaching the Garden Hose to the Reel

You can set up your hose reel for right-handed or left-handed rewinding. Position the stem of the swivel and feed the garden hose through the opening based on the direction you want to wind.
