Operating Instructions

The C-LP-350-350 features independent reel operation and a safety ratchet lock for convenient use.

1. Extending the Hose/Cord:

   Grasp the end of the hose or cord firmly and pull it slowly and steadily from the reel. You will hear a clicking sound as the ratchet mechanism engages. Pull the hose/cord to the desired length.

2. Engaging the Ratchet Lock:

   Once the desired length is reached, stop pulling. The safety ratchet lock will automatically engage, holding the hose/cord in place. Ensure the lock is fully engaged before releasing the hose/cord.

3. Retracting the Hose/Cord:

   To retract, pull the hose/cord out slightly further until the clicking sound stops, indicating the ratchet has disengaged. Then, guide the hose/cord back onto the reel. The auto-rewind mechanism will smoothly retract the hose/cord. Always guide the hose/cord to prevent tangling or damage.

4. Independent Operation:

   Each reel operates independently, allowing you to use one hose/cord while the other remains stored or in use at a different length.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Coxreels C-LP-350-350.

• Cleaning:

  The reel components are powder coated (CPC) for a long-lasting, chip and rust-resistant exterior. Clean the exterior surfaces periodically with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

• Lubrication:

  The reel features lubricated self-aligning pillow block bearings, which minimize the need for frequent lubrication. However, periodically inspect the bearings for smooth operation. If any stiffness or unusual noise is observed, consult the detailed service manual or contact customer support.

• Hose/Cord Inspection:

  Regularly inspect the hose/cord for any signs of wear, cuts, kinks, or damage. Replace damaged hoses/cords immediately to prevent leaks or electrical hazards.

• Swivel Inspection:

  Check the NPT brass swivel for any leaks or signs of wear. Ensure all connections are tight.

• Ratchet Mechanism:

  Ensure the ratchet mechanism engages and disengages smoothly. Keep it free from debris.
