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.

INDICATORS
Periodically: A. Inspect hose
for wear and check mounting
bolts and other hardware for
tightness.
B. Check for broken springs
by pulling about 2/3 hose off
reel and observing “Broken
Spring Indicators” on sides of
spring canisters (Fig. 3).
WARNING
If machine pull reel, move machinery to position closest
to reel before adjusting spring tension.

1. Install hose if reel was purchased without hose. See
instructions on page 4.
NOTE: Bearings and springs are prelubricated and require no
periodic maintenance.
2. Insure that machinery to be serviced by reel is at
position closest to reel.
2. Securely mount reel in desired position using 1/2"(M12).
☞
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.
3. Position hose guide if supplied so hose pays-out as
☞
straight as possible through hose guide.
4. Connect free end of hose to connections on machine or
☞
adjust hose stop so that desired length of hose extends from reel.
SPRING REPLACEMENT
The unique SAFETYCHANGE® spring motor consists of a
spring and hub sealed within a housing. A replacement spring
is supplied sealed in its housing and the old unit should be
discarded completely.
5. Connect flexible supply lines to swivel fitting. See HOSE

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).
☞
Rotate spanner wrench counter-clockwise. Number of
360˚ turns should match last digit in model number on
serial plate.
3. Wind all hose onto reel to relieve all spring tension.

COVER
PLATE
Shaft should rotate clockwise and hub (with
spring attached) should remain stationary.
NOTE: Do not attempt to remove spring if resistance is
met or hub tends to rotate with shaft. Continue to rotate
spool and strike end of shaft several sharp blows with a lead
hammer or rubber mallet until shaft rotates freely
and hub remains stationary.

CAUTION
☞
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.

HOSE INSTALLATION
Use the following procedure to replace hose or if reel was
ordered without hose. Refer to HOSE INSTALLATION
REFERENCE DRAWING, below.
9. Tighten bolts securing spring housing to reel frame.
☞
☞
10. Connect free end of hose to connections on machine
or adjust hose stop so that desired length of hose
extends from reel.
☞1. Unspool new hose from shipping spool and lay out to
eliminate twist.
11. Tension spring with spanner wrench. Refer to
NOTE: This step is not essential, but will aid in winding
operation of the reel and prolong hose life.
INSTALLATION section.
12. Replace inspection cover.
☞
☞2. Insert hose end through guide and connect to elbows
inside spool wrapper. (See drawing below.)
HOSE REMOVAL
☞5. Wind the hose onto the reel spool by hand rotating
spool in direction it turns free of spring tension.
Use the following procedure to remove worn or damaged hose
from reel prior to installation of new hose.
(Normally clockwise when viewed from spring side)
☞6. Adjust hose stop (not used on machine pull reel).
☞7. Complete working end connections.
1. Move machine serviced by reel to a position closest to
reel. Spring will still be under pre-tension at this point.
☞2. Turn off supply pressure to reel.
☞8. Pretension reel and complete installation as
described in REEL INSTALLATION section.
☞3. Disconnect hose from machine or other attachments.
Remove hose stop, if installed, and allow hose to
retract onto spool. Ensure all tension is off spring by
manually rotating spool (normally clockwise when
viewed from spring side).
