INSTALLATION and MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
UH18 UNIVERSAL HOSE REEL-DIRECT DRIVE
NOTE: These instructions are written for machine pull reels.
☞
If installing or servicing hand pull reel, use only those steps marked with hand
.
☞
All units are provided with right hand rotation unless otherwise
specified. This means that hose is pulled off spool top left or
bottom right (spool rotates clockwise to wind hose) when
viewing spring end of reel. See diagram on parts page.
WARNING
Some reels with large or multiple springs are equipped with
a ratcheted adjustment wrench. Follow separate instruc-
tions for its use. Failure to use ratcheted wrench, on reels
so equipped, could result in serious personal injury.
Clock-type springs provide power for automatic hose take-up.
Spring must be pretensioned at time of installation to
insure that tension is applied to hose at all times. A tension
adjustment spanner wrench is provided with each reel.

WARNING
Be sure spool is aligned with hose run.
Do not attempt to remove spring from its housing. Clock-
type springs can be dangerous to handle. Removal of
spring from housing could result in personal injury.

2. Insure that machinery to be serviced by reel is at
position closest to reel. Disconnect hose from
machine connections.
7. Insert spanner wrench into holes in spring hub (Fig 2).

Do not exceed number of turns indicated on serial plate.
Over-tensioning can cause a broken spring, sheared
shaft or other damage.
7. Slide spring motor off shaft and discard.

8. Install replacement spring motor, pawls and pawl springs.
☞
NOTE: Pawl springs must be located between the pawls
and the deepest section of the shaft grooves.
Make sure that pawls and pawl springs are inserted flush
with ends of shaft and hub or they may rub against
inspection cover. See Fig 4, page 4.
WARNING
Do not attempt to relieve spring tension using spanner
wrench. Doing so may result in personal injury.
