5. Operating Instructions

Using your Emsco Group Hose Hanger is straightforward:

1. Coil Your Hose: After use, coil your garden hose starting from the nozzle end, working your way back towards the spigot.
2. Place on Hanger: Loop the coiled hose around the hanger. The hanger is designed to accommodate up to 100 feet of hose.
3. Ensure Even Distribution: Distribute the hose weight evenly on the hanger to maintain balance and prevent stress on the spigot or mounting points.

6. Maintenance

The Emsco Group Hose Hanger requires minimal maintenance due to its durable construction.

• Cleaning: Wipe the hanger with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt or debris. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Periodically check the hanger for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure it remains securely attached to the spigot or mounting surface.
• Weather Resistance: The polyethylene material is weatherproof and freeze-proof, designed to withstand various outdoor conditions without corroding or rusting.

7. Troubleshooting

• Hanger feels unstable: Ensure the hanger is fully seated on the spigot. If using optional screw mounts, verify screws are tight and the mounting surface is solid.
• Hose slips off: Ensure the hose is coiled properly and evenly distributed on the hanger. Avoid overfilling beyond the recommended 100-foot capacity.
• Damage to hanger: While durable, extreme force or impact can cause damage. Inspect for cracks or breaks. If severely damaged, replacement may be necessary.
