Installation

Follow these steps to install your HOZEREEL Retractable Garden Hose Reel:

1. Choose a Mounting Location: Select a sturdy wall or post capable of supporting the weight of the hose reel when full of water. Ensure the location allows for the 180-degree swivel function and easy access to a water spigot.
2. Mount the Bracket: Position the aluminum alloy mounting bracket at the desired height. Mark the drilling points. Drill pilot holes and securely fasten the bracket using the provided mounting hardware.
3. Attach the Hose Reel: Slide the hose reel onto the mounted bracket. Ensure it is firmly seated and can swivel freely.
4. Connect to Water Supply: Connect one end of the inlet hose to your water spigot and the other end to the inlet connection on the hose reel. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

Operation

Operating your HOZEREEL is designed for convenience:

1. Pulling Out the Hose: Gently pull the hose to the desired length. The internal locking mechanism will engage automatically, holding the hose in place.
2. Retracting the Hose: To retract, pull the hose slightly further out, then release it. The advanced slow-retraction technology will smoothly and safely rewind the hose into the reel.
3. Using the Nozzle: The included zinc alloy nozzle offers 10 different spray patterns. Rotate the nozzle head to select the desired pattern for various watering and cleaning tasks.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity of your HOZEREEL:

• Self-Cleaning Brush System: The hose reel features a built-in brush that cleans the hose as it retracts, preventing debris from entering the casing. Regularly inspect the brush for excessive buildup and clean if necessary.
• Winter Storage: Before the first frost, disconnect the hose reel from the water supply and drain all water from the hose and reel. The unit can be easily lifted off its mounting bracket for indoor storage. Use the provided cover for added protection during storage.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the hose reel with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt and grime.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your HOZEREEL, consider the following:

• Hose not retracting: Ensure the hose is pulled slightly further out to disengage the lock before releasing. Check for any obstructions in the hose path or debris in the reel mechanism.
• Leaks: Verify all connections (spigot to inlet hose, inlet hose to reel, nozzle to hose) are tight and properly sealed. Inspect the hose for any visible damage.
• Low water pressure: Check your water supply pressure. Ensure the spigot is fully open and the hose is not kinked.
