- Mark and Drill Holes: Position the wall mount bracket (included) against the chosen surface. Use a pencil to mark the four drilling points. Drill holes suitable for the provided bolts and expansion tubes.
- Secure the Bracket: Insert the expansion tubes into the drilled holes. Align the wall mount bracket and secure it firmly using the four bolts.
- Install the Hose Reel: Slide the hose reel unit onto the secured wall mount bracket. Ensure it clicks securely into place. The reel should be able to swivel freely.

Operating Instructions
- Pulling Out the Hose: Gently pull the hose to the desired length. The internal locking mechanism will engage automatically, holding the hose in place.
- Using the Nozzle: Attach the 10-function spray nozzle to the end of the hose. Rotate the nozzle head to select your preferred spray pattern (e.g., mist, shower, jet, cone). Use the trigger or lever on the nozzle to control water flow.
- Retracting the Hose: To retract the hose, gently pull it out a short distance until you hear a click, then slowly release it. The automatic rewind system will smoothly guide the hose back into the reel. Ensure the hose is free of kinks or obstructions during retraction.
