Before You Begin
• Read and follow instructions carefully.
This product contains parts that can be damaged if incorrectly assembled. Suncast is not responsible
for replacing parts damaged due to incorrect assembly.
Care Instructions
• To unwind your hose, pull the hose out away from your hose
reel in a straight line (X). To rewind the hose, walk the end back
to the hose reel so the hose is in a "U" shape in front of the
reel (Z), this assists in easier rewinding of the hose. If applicable,
place your foot on the right side foot hold during winding and
unwinding to stabilize the unit. Keep hands away from the
rotating crank handle.
• TURN OFF WATER AT SOURCE AND DRAIN HOSE
WHEN NOT IN USE.
• Check in-tube and out-tube connections prior to first use each spring. If hose reel starts to leak, tighten all
water connections and check washers in the in-tube and the garden hose. Replace washers, if necessary.

CAUTION
• DO NOT cross-thread hose connections. When attaching the garden
hose to the out-tube and/or the leader hose to the in-tube, be sure to
attach correctly. Cross-threading could cause permanent damage.
Options
1. Reel With Hose Guide
2. Reel Without Hose Guide
Connect a garden hose to the out-tube (B). Turn on the water
supply and check for leaks. If leaking occurs, turn off the water
supply and re-tighten the connection.
NOTE: For Option #1, feed the garden hose through the hose
guide prior to connecting to the out-tube (B). The hose guide (C)
must be aligned with the out-tube. If not aligned, crank the guide
handle or lift the guide release (D) to move the hose guide into
alignment with the out-tube. If guide release is used, make sure
it snaps back down to lock the hose guide into position.

Depending on usage and water hardness, the in-tube and out-tube connections may become
worn and start to leak. Check the following regularly to maintain water tight connections:
1. Check that washers are in place and not worn. Replace the washers, if necessary.
2. Check that all connections are tight. If the hose reel still leaks, replacement of the in-tube and
out-tube may be necessary. To purchase replacement parts, contact us at www.suncast.com or
