CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Rust

Your hose cart will give you many years of reliable and functional hose storage. However, with any steel product there is a chance for rust to develop over time. Minor surface damage may occur during shipping, assembly, or during installation. If any base metal is exposed to the elements for an extended period of time, rust will develop. Additionally, rust acceleration can be caused by exposing the hose cart to yard fertilizers or leaving the hose cart in long grass.

It is highly recommended that you periodically inspect your hose cart for minor scratches that can easily be repaired by using automotive touch-up paint.

Inspecting the hose cart after each season and protecting the finish will help prevent rust and prolong the life of the product. Store the product indoors before winter and consider a cover for your hose cart.

Leaks

Your hose cart is manufactured with the finest quality components available. All components are manufactured to rigorous quality standards not common in other consumer grade hose carts available today. When you assemble your hose cart, be sure the hose washers are in place and all fittings are secure. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN as you might damage the components. If you live in more temperate climates, be sure to drain the unit of any residual water before storing. DO NOT EXPOSE THE UNIT TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES while water remains in the plumbing system.

• Ensure the hose washers are in place.
• Ensure all fittings are secure and tight.
• Check the head of the brass swivel for damage if the unit has been exposed to freezing temperatures.
• The brass swivel uses two rubber O-Rings which over time can wear out. Replacement O-Rings can be found at our website: www.libertygardenproducts.com ?

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem: Your new hose cart is leaking at the brass swivel.

Solution: It is normal for the brass swivel to leak slightly until the O-Rings are wet and have seated. If the leaking continues, you do not need to take the hose cart back to the store. This is a simple problem and is easily fixed by following the troubleshooting procedures outlined on page 8.

Problem: The brass swivel head is not rotating, causing the leader hose to kink.

Solution: Remove leader hose and turn the square head of the brass swivel several times and apply silicone lubricant.

Problem: Leaking Fixtures (brass tee; brass coupling; swivel)

Solution: Apply Teflon/Plumber's Tape to the threads on the brass swivel shaft and ensure the fixtures are tight.

TROUBLESHOOTING (continued)

1. If the leader hose is attached to the brass swivel, unscrew the hose and look inside the swivel.
2. Using either a 3/8" hex key or a large screw driver, insert the tool into the hex opening and gently tighten the threaded insert. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
3. This should stop the leaking.
4. If the unit still leaks, please ensure the hose washer is inside the nut. You may contact Liberty Garden for a new hose washer or obtain one at any local hardware store.
5. If the brass swivel is old, the O-Rings may be worn, please contact Liberty Garden for a new set of O-Rings.
6. If these steps do not solve the leak problem, contact Liberty Garden.
