The Vonhaus 20M Retractable Garden Hose Reel is designed for outdoor use. It features a 9-function spray nozzle and a 2-in-1 tap connector compatible with 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch taps. For optimal use, the unit should be wall-mounted at a height of 0.9 metres from the floor. If the hose fails to retract, it is usually due to the stop-anywhere mechanism being locked; this can be resolved by pulling the hose at the yellow warning mark or placing the unit on its side.

Assembly and installation


- Mounting: Drill four M8 holes to align with the mounting bracket. It is recommended to install the bracket at a height of 0.9 metres from the floor. Secure the bracket using the provided screws and wall plugs.
- Attaching the reel: Attach the hose reel to the mounting bracket using the pivot pin.
- Connecting to tap: Attach the connector to your tap. The 2-in-1 adaptor fits both 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch sizes.
Spray settings
Rotate the nozzle head to switch between the 9 available spray functions: Mist, Flat, Center, Rise, Shower, Cone, Angle, Jet, and Soaker.

Operation
- Pull out the hose to the desired length; it can be locked and stopped at any length.
- Do not pull the hose once it has reached its maximum length (indicated by the yellow mark).
- When retracting, hold the nozzle until the retraction is complete.
Cleaning and maintenance
- Do not clean with abrasive cloths or chemicals; use a sponge with warm water and mild detergent.
- Periodically check and re-tighten fittings.
- Re-tighten all fittings after the first week following assembly.
Troubleshooting
If the hose does not automatically retract after being fully extended, it is likely locked by the stop-anywhere mechanism with no extra hose left to release the catch. To resolve this, hold the hose at the yellow warning mark and give it a quick tug, or place the unit on its right side and pull on the hose until it retracts.
Safety and intended use
This product is for outdoor use only. It is not a toy and not intended as a climbing structure. Children should be supervised. Do not overload the product. Locate the unit away from sources of combustion.
