This manual provides instructions for the VEVOR Retractable Hose Reel. Important Safety Note: Always turn off the tap after use and release excess pressure by pressing the spray gun lever before retracting the hose back into the housing.
Overview
The package includes the hose reel housing, 180° wall bracket, mounting tube, garden hose, tap-to-reel hose, multi-function spray gun, and necessary mounting hardware (wall plugs and hexagonal coach bolts).
Installation
Preparation
Before installing the wall bracket, ensure the tap-to-reel hose can comfortably reach your water source.
Mounting the Bracket
- Place the wall bracket against the wall or wooden post.
- Mark the center of the four holes.
- Drill the holes. Use an 11.5mm drill bit for masonry or a 7.0mm drill bit for wood.
- If mounting to a wall, hammer the wall plugs into the holes.
- Secure the bracket using the provided hexagonal coach bolts.
Attaching the Reel
- Remove the securing pin at the base of the mounting tube.
- Remove the mounting tube from the hose reel.
- Slot the mounting tube over the wall bracket and align the holes.
- Insert the mounting tube back through the bracket and housing, then replace the securing pin.
- Connect the tap-to-reel hose to your garden tap.
Operation
Pull the garden hose out to the desired length. An indication sticker is located 1 meter before the maximum length; do not pull the hose past this point.
To retract the hose: Turn off the tap, then press the lever on the watering gun to release water pressure. This makes retraction easier and prolongs the life of the reel. Always guide the hose back into the housing; do not let it retract freely.
Troubleshooting
If the hose is fully extended and will not retract, the retraction wheel may be stuck. Grip the garden hose close to the guide hole and pull gently. This movement should unlock the wheel, allowing you to slowly guide the hose back into the unit.
Maintenance and Warnings
- Do not attempt to pull the hose reel apart.
- Always turn off the water and drain the hose after use.
- Do not leave the hose under pressure when not in use.
