Installing Hose Reel
Note: Mounting hardware (four 3/8" bolts and four washers) is not included and must be purchased separately. Decide first
where reel will be mounted before purchasing hardware. Different mounting positions may require additional hardware.
Mounting hose reel before installing hose is recommended. Empty reel is lighter
and easier to manuever. Keep both feet on firm level ground during installation. Be
aware that attempting installation using a ladder can be dangerous and is not recommended.
CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION
Reel can be mounted on the floor, wall, workbench or vehicle. Refer to FIG. 2 for typical mounting
positions. Remember that you can only mount reel to a load-bearing structural member capable of
supporting combined weight of reel, hose, and forces caused by pulling or maneuvering hose.
Mounting reel near air compressor is best since you can connect the two with a shorter length of hose.
Also, air compressor controls will be nearby for convenient adjusting.
FIG. 2
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: Insert two 3/8" bolts into mounting
surface. Tighten bolts.
STEP 2: Insert last two bolts and washers.
STEP 3: Tighten all 4 bolts completely.

INSTALLING HOSE
After reel is secured in position, attach air hose coming from compressor. Wrap threads of male
connector on incoming air hose with thread-sealing tape or apply thread sealant and connect to air inlet
valve (part 27) on side of hose reel. Connect other end of incoming air hose to air compressor. Apply
thread-sealing tape to threads on hose before attaching air tools.
Maintaining Hose Reel

4. Reverse above procedure to re-assemble.
REPLACING HOSE
1. Secure and stabilize reel. In most cases, hose can be replaced with reel still mounted.
2. Disconnect incoming air supply.
3. Pull out entire length of hose.
4. Disconnect inlet-end of hose from air outlet valve (part 23).
