• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the hose reel yourself. Contact customer support if issues arise.
• Keep children and pets away from the hose reel during operation, especially during retraction.
• Do not pull the hose excessively or at sharp angles, as this may damage the retraction mechanism.
• Drain the hose and reel completely before freezing temperatures to prevent damage.
• Use only clean water with the hose reel.

4. Setup and Installation

The SUNPOW hose reel is designed for wall mounting. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Choose a Location: Select a solid wall (e.g., brick, concrete) near your water source. Ensure there is enough space for the hose reel to swivel 180°.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the wall bracket against the chosen location and mark the four drilling points. Use a level to ensure the bracket is straight.
3. Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked points using an appropriate drill bit for your wall material. Insert the provided expansion plugs into the drilled holes.
4. Attach Wall Bracket: Secure the wall bracket to the wall using the provided bolts. Ensure it is firmly attached.
5. Mount the Hose Reel: Carefully slide the hose reel onto the wall bracket. It should click securely into place.
