4.1. mouNtiNG the reel
4.1.1. due to the way the retractable hose operates, the reel should only be mounted in one of two positions shown below. The brackets
supplied will enable you to mount the reel in either position.
4.1.2. ensure the wall, ceiling or other structure, to which the hose reel is to be fixed, is of sound construction and that the securing
points will hold the working strain of the hose when in use.
4.1.3. Using the mounting holes template (cut from box lid), drill appropriate holes for the desired mounting or see diagram below.
4.1.4. When wall mounted the hose exit point should not be more than 2.4 mtrs above floor level. Above this height ceiling mounting is
recommended. See diagrams overleaf.
4.1.5. Fix one bracket to the chosen surface using fixings that are appropriate to the substrate and strong enough to carry the weight
of the reel plus the working strain exerted on it when in use. Position the hose reel onto the rst bracket, then proceed to x the
second bracket into place and ensure the reel is secure.
