High-Capacity Reel

Reel Operation

WARNING

Do not exceed the lowest pressure rating

of any component in the system.

Never point a control valve at any portion of your

body or another person. Lubricant discharged at

high velocity can penetrate the skin and cause

severe injury. Should any fluid appear to puncture

the skin, get medical care immediately.

Ensure all components are in operable condition.

Replace any suspect parts prior to operation. Per-

sonal injury can occur.

Hold the delivery hose securely until the reel is

securely latched or fully retracted. Uncontrolled

retraction can result in personal injury.

Alemite Corporation

Latch Lockout

Over-Rotation of the Reel

IMPORTANT: Do not extend the hose from

the reel too rapidly. Too much velocity (when

the hose is fully extended) can cause the reel

to over-rotate and latch.

Should latch lockout occur, pulling on the hose will not

release the latch mechanism.

With the reel latch in this condition it will be necessary

to have an assistant maintain tension on the hose while the

latching mechanism is manually released.

WARNING

The reel is under maximum spring tension.

Personal injury can occur.

1. Instruct the assistant to grip the hose securely with

both hands to prevent uncontrolled retraction.

2. Grip the Sheave Assembly securely with gloved hands.

• Gloves should be non-slip.

3. Turn the Sheave Assembly just enough to allow the

Pawl to be free of tension from the Ratchet.

4. While maintaining the position of the Sheave assembly

with one hand, move the Pawl away from the ratchet.

• Use a screwdriver or other suitable tool.

5. Instruct the assistant to allow the hose to retract slowly

onto the Sheave Assembly.
