4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to install your Gardena Rollup S Wall Hose Box:

1. Choose a Location: Select a suitable wall near your water tap. Ensure the wall material can support the weight of the hose box (approximately 7.3 kg empty, more when filled with water). The wall mount allows for a 180° swivel range.
2. Mount the Wall Bracket: Use the provided mounting hardware to securely attach the wall bracket to the chosen location. Mark the drill holes, drill, insert wall plugs, and fasten the bracket with screws.
3. Attach the Hose Box: Slide the hose box onto the installed wall bracket until it clicks into place.
4. Connect to Water Supply: Use the short connection hose to link the hose box to your outdoor water tap. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

5. Operating Instructions

The Gardena Rollup S Wall Hose Box is designed for ease of use:

1. Extending the Hose: Pull the hose gently to the desired length. The hose will lock automatically at short intervals.
2. Retracting the Hose: To retract the hose, give it a short, firm tug. The RollControl mechanism will automatically and evenly rewind the hose into the box at a controlled speed.
3. Swivel Function: The wall mount allows the hose box to swivel more than 180°, providing flexibility and preventing the hose from kinking during use.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your hose box:

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the hose box with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use harsh chemicals.
• Frost Protection: The Gardena Rollup S is equipped with frost protection. However, in regions with severe winters, it is advisable to disconnect the hose box from the water supply and drain any remaining water to prevent damage.
• UV Protection: The materials are UV-stabilized for outdoor use, resisting degradation from sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your hose box, consider the following:

• Hose not retracting: Ensure the hose is not kinked or obstructed. Give a short, firm tug to activate the RollControl mechanism. If the issue persists, check for debris in the retraction opening.
• Leaks: Check all connections to the water tap and the hose nozzle for tightness. Ensure rubber seals are properly seated and not damaged.
• Reduced water pressure: Verify that the water tap is fully open and that there are no kinks in the hose. Check the nozzle for blockages.
