Setup

1. Mounting the Hose Reel

The HOZEREEL system offers versatile mounting options, including wall or post installation, thanks to its robust 180-degree pivot bracket. Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the unit's weight, especially when filled with water.

2. Connecting to Water Source

Connect the short leader hose from the reel to your outdoor spigot. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. The unit includes brass fittings for a secure connection.

3. Attaching the Nozzle

Attach the provided 10-pattern nozzle to the end of the main hose. This versatile nozzle allows for various spray modes to suit different watering needs.

Operating Instructions

1. Extending the Hose

To extend the hose, simply pull it out to the desired length. The hose will automatically lock into place at intervals. You will hear a clicking sound as it extends and locks.

2. Retracting the Hose

To retract the hose, give it a short, firm tug. The locking mechanism will disengage, and the hose will smoothly and automatically rewind back into the reel. Guide the hose to ensure even coiling and prevent tangling.

3. Using the 180-Degree Pivot

The hose reel's 180-degree pivot bracket allows you to direct the hose across a wide area without repositioning the unit. This feature provides enormous comfort for watering large gardens.

Maintenance

1. Hose Cleaning

The hose reel features an integrated guide mechanism with bristles that clean the hose as it retracts, helping to keep it free from dirt and debris.

2. Draining Before Storage

After each use, especially before long-term storage or during freezing temperatures, ensure the water source is turned off and the hose is fully extended and drained. Remove the nozzle to allow water to escape, then retract the hose. This prevents water from freezing inside the hose and damaging the unit.

3. UV Resistance

The hose reel casing is UV-stabilized to resist fading and degradation from sun exposure, ensuring durability and maintaining its appearance over time.

Troubleshooting

• Hose Not Retracting: Ensure the hose is fully extended and given a firm tug to disengage the locking mechanism. Check for any kinks or obstructions along the hose length.
• Leaks: Verify all connections (spigot to leader hose, leader hose to reel, and nozzle to main hose) are securely tightened. Check for any visible damage to the hose or fittings.
• Low Water Flow: Ensure the spigot is fully open. Check the nozzle for any blockages or debris.
