COXREELS 1125-5-250-A-BYXX Compressed Air Motor Rewind Storage Hose Reel Instruction Manual

1. Product Overview

The COXREELS 1125-5-250-A-BYXX is a robust, motorized storage hose reel designed for industrial applications. It efficiently handles long lengths of various materials such as hose, collapsible hose, power cord, cable, rope, wire, barbed wire, tape, and chain. This model features a durable construction with CNC robotically spun and ribbed discs, and a sturdy all-welded "A" frame base, ensuring reliability and longevity in demanding environments.

This reel is specifically designed for storage purposes and does not include a swivel or riser, making it ideal for maintaining long lengths of material.

2. Basic Information for Selection and Installation

Before installing or operating your hose reel, it is crucial to determine the following basic information to ensure proper function and compatibility:

• Hose I.D., O.D., & Length: Identify the inner diameter, outer diameter, and total length of the hose or material to be stored. This ensures the reel can accommodate the specific dimensions.
• Product To Be Handled: Understand the type of material (e.g., air, water, oil, cable) that will pass through or be stored on the reel. This influences material compatibility and safety.
• Operating Pressure Range: Determine the maximum and minimum operating pressures the system will experience. This is critical for selecting appropriate fittings and ensuring safe operation.
• Product Temperature Range: Note the temperature range of the product being handled. Extreme temperatures can affect hose and reel component integrity.
• Size & Type Of Swivel Joint: If a swivel joint is used in your system (though this reel is for storage and does not include one), its specifications are vital for system integration.
• Type Of Rewind: This model features an automatic motor rewind mechanism, specifically a #4 Compressed Air Motor.

The diagram below illustrates these critical parameters for proper system integration and selection:

3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the hose reel from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of shipping damage. Report any damage to the carrier immediately.

3.2 Mounting Options

The 1125-5-250-A-BYXX hose reel supports both freestanding and mounted installations. The sturdy one-piece, all CNC robotically welded 1/4" steel "A" frame base provides superior reel structure and includes a mounting pattern for easy installation and detachment.

• Freestanding: Ensure the reel is placed on a stable, level surface capable of supporting its weight (67 pounds) plus the weight of the stored material.
• Mounted: Securely fasten the reel to a wall, ceiling, or other structural support using appropriate hardware through the pre-drilled holes in the "A" frame base. Ensure the mounting surface can safely bear the combined weight of the reel and its maximum capacity of stored material.

3.3 Connecting the Inlet

When connecting the inlet pipe to the reel, it is imperative to use a flexible connector. This prevents stress on the reel's components and ensures the validity of your warranty. Refer to the caution in Section 2.

4. Operation

4.1 Powering the Motor

This model is equipped with a #4 Compressed Air Motor for automatic rewind. Connect the air supply to the motor according to standard pneumatic connection procedures. Ensure the air pressure is within the recommended operating range for the motor.

4.2 Rewinding the Material

To rewind the stored material (hose, cable, etc.), activate the compressed air motor. The motor will automatically retract the material onto the reel. Guide the material evenly to prevent tangling or uneven winding.

4.3 Adjustable Tension Brake

The reel features an adjustable tension brake. This mechanism prevents free-wheeling of the reel when the material is being pulled out or when the reel is not in use. Adjust the brake tension as needed to provide sufficient resistance without impeding smooth material deployment.

5. Maintenance

5.1 General Cleaning

Regularly clean the reel to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

5.2 Finish Protection

The reel is protected by a long-lasting, chip-resistant, and rust-inhibiting CPC powder coat finish. While durable, avoid harsh impacts or scratches that could compromise this protective layer. Touch up any deep scratches to prevent corrosion.

5.3 Motor and Mechanical Inspection

Periodically inspect the compressed air motor for proper function and any signs of wear. Check all fasteners for tightness. Ensure the adjustable tension brake operates smoothly.

6. Troubleshooting

This section provides general guidance for common issues. For complex problems, contact COXREELS customer support.

• Reel not rewinding: Check the compressed air supply to the motor. Ensure the motor is receiving adequate pressure and flow. Inspect for any obstructions in the rewind mechanism.
• Uneven winding: Ensure the material is guided properly during rewind. Check for any bends or kinks in the material that could cause uneven tension.
• Excessive free-wheeling: Adjust the tension brake to increase resistance.
• Unusual noises: Discontinue operation and inspect the reel for loose components, foreign objects, or signs of mechanical wear.
