Operating Instructions
Extending the Hose
To extend the hose, simply pull it out to the desired length. The internal locking system will engage automatically, holding the hose in place. You will hear a clicking sound as it locks.
The hose can be locked at any desired length for precise watering.
Retracting the Hose
To retract the hose, pull it gently once more until the locking mechanism disengages. Then, slowly guide the hose back into the reel. The upgraded slow rewind system will retract the hose safely and smoothly, preventing fast recoil.

The included sprayer nozzle offers 10 different spray patterns to suit various watering needs. Rotate the nozzle head to select your desired pattern (e.g., shower, center, flat, mist, jet, cone, soaker). The nozzle is designed for comfortable use without needing to hold a switch continuously.
Choose from 10 spray patterns for various tasks like watering plants, washing cars, or cleaning.
The hose reel is suitable for a wide range of applications.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your hose reel.
- Winter Storage: Before freezing temperatures, disconnect the hose reel from the water supply. Drain all water from the hose and reel. Store the unit in a frost-free environment to prevent damage to internal components. The convenient handle allows for easy removal and storage.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the exterior of the hose reel with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Hose Inspection: Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of wear, cuts, or leaks. Replace the hose if significant damage is found.
